Hi there,

I pretty much did the same bunch of steps as in here, but with less care:

+ a bit of liquid souveran

I am camera lazy, so I always take the final product pictures only - my apologies.

Thanks for watching, hope you like :)

Looks great! A '98? I bet it was quite a turn around, wish there was even just one before shot... :poke: and an after with the sun in the shot.. :poke: :poke:

Nice work on the linked White Prelude too!

it is an older car for sure, older paint as well, at some small sections the clear coat is saying goodbye

it did have a ton of swirls, even now it has some, but I did not wanna bother to go over the car one more time - good enough :)

Yeah, you got to evaluate the vehicle/owner, it's not a show car so that's A-OK! As long as it's got that awesome gloss! :xyxthumbs:

yes yes, i bought the car and it was in rougher condition so babying it right now is a bit too late ... the car is pretty much my all year "beater" and I will just drive it into the ground ... I take better care of that prelude tho haha

one question

as my final step, was p21s a good choice for this color? even better results with some other wax?
thanks
