    New Guy Here 2001 Honda Accord 270k miles!

    First off i want to thank you all. I work in a shop, but most of my focus for work is interior detailing. I make time to wash my daily driver weekly and the inside is as clean as it can be. After doing some searching I found this site and wanted to treat myself to a nice wax for my daily. So today I brought her into the shop, hand washed her and used my new McKey's 37 clay bar, and topped her off with Collinite #915. I also have Blackfire Midnight Sun spray wax to help keep her up between washing, with Blackfires wet over ice kit on the way as well. She can definitely use a buff and polish, but for now im and more than happy with the results:

    Looking good. The BF combo is one of my favorites and the MS Nuba is exceptional. I actually prefer it over Souveran.

    Looks good. Certainly doesn't look like it has that many miles. Well done. Next up, tackle those headlights

    Thank you. I probably wont seal until i can buff and polish. I may try to top the Collinite with midnight sun once it arrives, but i dont expect it to add to much to this silver but ill do it just to see

    Looks good Fuzz. Congratulations for the upkeep of a car with the number of miles it has. You must do a great job of maintenance.

    Welcome to Autogeek. Great job of keeping up that Honda. It doesn't look like it has so many miles.

    Nice & clean. Looks like a well-cared-for DD.

    Seems like you already have a solid line up for up keep. You mentioned hand washing...is that part of maintenance as well? How about waterless/rinseless? If so, I highly suggest Wolfgang Uber Rinseless and/or D114.

    Looks great for the mileage, see cars on Craigslist with 100,000 lower miles in horrible shape.
