Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Gave the roof some attention this morning...It still has *clouds*
I'd already done the other side before I thought to take a *before* pic...
Somewhat later:
By way of contrast, under the hood looks like this (almost 200k miles):

You crack me up, just like your paint.

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
I've got some Diamond Cut in the garage, you could buff a sidewalk with that stuff. I'm not sure it's worth the effort on the SB Honda though. Pretty sure that damage goes all the way to the primer.

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Engine bay is fantastic for that mileage! Yeah, your paint is done, and I am enjoying this thread!

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Car is in the garage until Monday, got ambitious.
Did some clay work to get the yellow paint off the left quarter panel & rear bumper (aerosol can was rolling across the road, nailed it with the left rear wheel about three months ago). Bit more compound & polish work (on the left side). Then gave the entire car a coat of the Ice polish from the Turtle & after I buffed that I gave it a coat of Meg's Hybrid Ceramic Wax too.
Garage now smells like a cheap bordello... (the best kind)

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
So I see the post about the Megs HPC so I decided to get some for the bike & the Camaro. Went to AZ & paid $28.65 for a kit.
That was the good part...
The bad part
I backed the SB Honda out of the garage, paused while the door closed & the lawn sprinklers went off on the right side of the car. FFS...
The bizarre part:
Get back from AZ, park in the garage, walk around to the other side of the car & there's not so much as one water spot on the side of the car.

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Just realized there's no pics of the sides of the car...So here ya go, all sorts of scratches, dings, dents & chips.... plus the PAX side door got keyed before I owned it. Actually pretty shiny.
That small piece of wood next to the C25 gas bottle is Teak. About 25 years ago a guy I knew imported a bunch of aircraft engines & other parts from SE Asia. It all arrived in teak crates & on teak pallets. There was a LOT of stuff, truck loads. He piled all the wood outside his hangar & I asked if I could have some of it before it went in the trash. He said I could take all of it for all he cared. I bought piles of it home in my CC LB F350 Dually every day for a week. I turned some it into a bunch of slappers & mallets etc for sheet metal work, some I gave away (B-i-L made himself a teak baseball bat) & the rest was sold.... for $5k. The small piece is all that's left unused.
& yes, the garage is carpeted. This house was one of the tract models & the garage was their office. They left the carpet.

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Bit blowy here today, CHP just closed 8 miles of freeway owing to multiple wrecks from the dust storm. I guess I'll be getting all my work sand blasted when I have to go out in about an hour.

Re: Progress on the SB Honda
Car survived running around town during the dust storm, but now it's parked outside again. Just put the trash out & the car looks like I could grow a crop of taters on it...
Update....
Yesterday:
Today:
Grabbed the California Car Scratcher... I think it's as dead as the paint, all it did was move the dust around.
