Hello. I live in the B'ham metro area. I found you guys through an Integra Enthusiast site. I just bought a 15yr old Integra in fairly good shape. The paint has some minor oxidation on the bumpers. The color is white. It is hard to see any swirl marks, etc. The clear coat looks good. I have always used Meguiars products but, they have not given me the satisfaction w/ this particular car. I just bought a PC 7424XP. I am doing some research here & may just order a few products to get the Integra GS-R looking showroom shape again. The interior has allot of stains...coffee, coke, etc... Any help from you vetrerans would be appreciated.Feed back please

Glad to be here! Thanks for having me.Looks to be a GREAT resource for all levels of detailers.

WAR EAGLE!

Welcome! I'm from Birmingham and have an Integra as well (a 94 LS). I'm also new to detailing. I think you'll find the Autogeek community is immensely helpful and nice.

Oxi-clean is pretty good for tough stains. Also I see Woolite mentioned a lot around here.

Again, welcome and good luck! Always good to know there are other Integra owners out there taking care of their cars! :)

Hello from Montgomery! I'm not much of an interior guru (no fun) so I can't help you there. There's a guy here who does a magnificent job on interiors if you're interested.

The brushes that can be attached to the PC 7424 are miracle workers on interiors. That combined with some of the great products you'll find here.

I think to PC brushes are a little over rated. Work well for big areas but kinda clumsy anywhere else. I use Folex and some degreasers with had brushes and yes the PC on some occasions then extracted with the mighty lite.

Mike, I saw the pictures you posted in the gallery entittled 1 step vs 3 steps. What did you use and how did you use it to reduce the swirl marks? It looked Excellent!!

Thanks
