Looks good, I like it. Bit low now with the coilovers but to each their own of course and you obviously like it low.

Well I've owned the car almost 2 year's now and was to lazy to do some detail work on the car. And also prevouis owner's never took care of it body wise. So therefore the roof and trunk were oxidized so bad that it looked like there was no clear. So me and my bro decided to wet sand the hole entire car to try and get down beneath the oxidation.

Than we started buffing

After it was all buffed, I polished it all.

Finally after 2 years I can see myself in the car lol

Finally waxed

And after along hard day of polishing and waxing, and putting the car back together. It's finished. Too bad it was't day light still to get some good shiny pic's.

Hopefully if we get some sunshine before it gets dirty I'll get some daylight picks. I definitely love the color now that it pop's. I know there"s a few that has saw the before and how bad the paint was, the pic's don't do justice. But also it's orginal paint, its still not perfect, theres chip's, scratch's, and ding's, and some clear peeling on the front bumper, but i'll get that fixed one day. I'm just stoked that it's shiny for once, better than it was when i got it, and that i saved the roof and trunk instead of vynil wrapping it ;ike I had planned since day one. Well worth the time to do it, although i'm sore now for doing it 2 day's straight. lol

But, Thank you to my brother for talking me into doing it and hekping me. lol Because I would'nt have done it, since I didn't wanna take the time after doing my integra when I had it, Because i hated it. lol

Lol You're Welcome.
Holy amount of pictures!
You should have waited to post this with the pictures I have from a real camera.. not a crackberry :O

Before:

The whole car got wetsanded with 1500 grit then with 2000 grit. (shows in Cody's pics above)

Two buffing passes with Mequiars M105 Ultra Cut Compound using a 3M Wool Pad:

Then polished with Mequiars Ultimate Polish using a 3M Waffle Pad:

That alone was a 1000x improvement over what it was... Waxing it gave it so much more depth and shine. I haven't had the opportunity to take good pictures of it all waxed and back together yet

It looks awesome. I really like the color and am glad you saved it.

I also might note that in the before pictures, the trunk lid is all shiny... that's because I had already done all the work on that a few days prior to show him what we were capable of. The trunk lid was just as bad as the roof of the car (if not worse)
