Nice! Do you use a "california car duster" to help keep it looking good? I have a silver si and everyother day i am dusting it.
Looks great!

I love the shot of the door. You should post that over at Autopia. Looks great. I got the porter-Cable for Christmas and I can't wait till spring to use it. The forcast calls for more snow this weekend.

The Blackfire looks great. I've heard of people diluting it with water to make it easier to use. I don't know myself, I haven't tried it yet.

What pads do you use with your PC?

Keep up the great work.

I use the standard (very nice) pads you can get at CMA < http://properautocare.com/ > on my new Porter*Cable 7428. :)

jaydub's wax process (what I did a few weeks ago):
1) Clay Bar
2) 3M Swirl Mark Remover (for dark cars) - this will help your swirl marks or water spots IMMENSELY
3) Klasse All-In-One
4) Klasse Sealer Glaze
5) Blitz One Grand Carnuba

Pics coming soon!

Question: How are the kumho's? I am looking at getting them, with Rota Slipstreams, but the 215 50/16 variety. Any help would be much appreciated. Also, what offset are you running, and how is it working out. Thnx.

they are kumho 712's 205/50/16, there great tires for the price, mine where $78 each, and they grip the road very well, i'm not sure what offset the rota's are, i'm going to have to look it up, but i'll get back to you.

Hey HondaMan, I saw your picks over at autopia. Looks good. I can't wait until spring so I can do a good detail.

Damn I wish I could get my shit that shiny. That one pic of the door I thought it was actual pic not a reflection shot. Where can I get a PC buffer or one similar? I have a Groit's garage catalog but the prices are kinda high. I sucks doing a car by hand cause I start to get tired and ready to drive.
