Might I/Dorothy Valdez-Franklin still be invited to the detailing table? :grouphug: Dorothy is getting old, guys. 5OCT2007: ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2230/1492297914_529f7535e5.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2230/1492297914_529f7535e5.jpg) Clay barred, fresh coat of Klasse All-In-One cleaner/Sealant Glaze (1:3). Ready for winter. coping (7FEB2008): ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/2247031921_e52bb7a61a.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2242/2247031921_e52bb7a61a.jpg) Seven months later. I’ve never gone this long without waxing my car. I had a really busy semester, and then it got warm enough to bike and I just didn’t care about having a clean car. Surprisingly the sealant was still there, and the paint was in good condition. Smooth, but dry feeling. It wasn’t too scratched up, although there were some scuffs from snowboard bags being on the trunk. I took it through the LASER WASH OMG LAAAAAASER WASH 4 or 5 times. This proved to be a stupid idea, as the pressurized water seems to have increased the rate at which my car disintigrates into Buffalo even faster. Poor chap. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2488445300_ce66fbe0b9.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2488445300_ce66fbe0b9.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2488446366_4c1eee9d93.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2259/2488446366_4c1eee9d93.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2170/2488447344_a787df5a12.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2170/2488447344_a787df5a12.jpg) The rust. This is actually on the side of the car that Carruba Collision so delicately replaced the doors after an accident. They didn’t replace them with doors of similar condition. They actually applied some sort of caulk which they later painted over on top of the rusted seam. This proved to be adequate before I started taking the car to the Laser Wash and the pressurized water entered the seams. The other rear door has some rust in this section, but the front door is original and has zero rust. The rear quarter panels are still rust free for now. Yay Honda. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2402/2488448310_a16104d733.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2402/2488448310_a16104d733.jpg) After a little clay bar, which didn’t prove to be effective and was actually quite harsh on the delicate paint at this edge (the edge of panels is alway the thinnest), I hand polished this section with some Pinnacle Advanced Swirl remover. It’s a hot oily mess of a polish, just what I needed to polish the rust off without harming the paint underneath too much. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2323/2488449218_58ca88b0c8.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2323/2488449218_58ca88b0c8.jpg) So then I detailed the rest of the car. NXT wash, microfiber chenille wash mit Wheels cleaned, generic cleaner, various brushes, wash mitt Clay bar, Mothers Polish, Cyclo Polisher, yellow pads. Menzerna FP II (I had some more serious scratches and scuffs that FPII couldn’t take out, but I decided it was not worth it to keep polishing my paint the way I did when I was young and ignorant) Klasse AIO/SG (1:4), Cyclo Polisher, white pads. This combo works really well for me, and it’s the most durable combination I’ve put on my paint. I like the look of a carnauba, but durability is more important. Sealants tend to look very artificial, but on some paints (lighter metallics and whites), the look is (I find) ideal. Meguiars #40 on the tires, trim. I like #40. ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2407/2488449860_7700098db0.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2407/2488449860_7700098db0.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/2487635015_61484498f8.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3243/2487635015_61484498f8.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/2487636045_7c06eec0c4.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3256/2487636045_7c06eec0c4.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2488452360_b361613db1.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2488452360_b361613db1.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3081/2488453610_9f9b13a344.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3081/2488453610_9f9b13a344.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2107/2488454424_5644819868.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2107/2488454424_5644819868.jpg) ![http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2097/2487639101_c3cf8b3cd3.jpg](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2097/2487639101_c3cf8b3cd3.jpg) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2487641003_983332e302.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3284/2487641003_983332e302.jpg) I think I may be getting a new car at the end of the summer.
