    19x9 in the front. 19x10 in the rear. Tires are 255/35 front and 275/35 rear. Both wheels and tire are the same size as stock. Gonna move the stock tires and TPMS over to the new wheels.

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Day two of messing around with a Bodyshop car. This thing is awful, it’s had various parts painted at different times. None of the jobs have been that great either. No more than 2 panels buff out the same, so it’s a lot of mixing and matching to see what works on each panel, think test spots on every dang panel

    It’s a straight black 18 impala with dirt nibs, fish eyes, orange peel that you could probably use to zest and actual orange, and all sorts of neglect. If I didn’t respect the Bodyshop manager so much, I probably would have refused the job haha.

    What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    2000 Honda S2000
    100,000 miles
    Never polished or properly detailed







    3D One and heavy cut microfiber pad
    Lake Country White Polish pad with CarPro Essence

    If time were not of the essence, pun intended, I would have stuck with the griots garage 3 inch machine. I like taking my time and using smaller pads on curves and corners. The 15 mm long throw tends to get away from me.


    More later...

    Re: What did you do today, in regards to detailing?

    Car had a fair amount of dust on it since the Monday wash, so I got after it this evening. Added some Auto-Fanatic snow Foam soap to the IK 1.5 and foamed the car down. For the tires and wheels I sprayed some Brake Buster on them, let it dwell and then rinsed down the entire car. I then grabbed some TWHS Wet Wax, sprayed down a panel at a time time and dried the car. I've gotta tell you guys this...if you haven't used TWHS Wet Wax...go out and get it and you'll be glad you did!

    I like that Hyundai-Kia blue!



    I totally would’ve bought a blue Soul, if the local dealer wasn’t charging over MSRP+ dealer add-ons.
