I'm stunned! I might need to see you about my CRV. My girly blue S still looks fine because the color does a great job of hiding any imperfections...

It's actually his DC2. I've never seen paint in such bad condition lol. The hood looked like it was painted MATTE white. I'll try to get the pics up tonight .

APRIL 2nd/3rd, 2011 - Yes, this was a 2 day project

This was Hakkaboy`s 95 Integra GSR, and it needed some serious attention. The cleaning alone of the exterior/jambs/engine and wheels took the most part of a day. The polishing/paint correction took another day. Wow, what a transformation.

White is very difficult to photograph, it looks much better in person!

Arrival : Just looks like a dirty white car until you start looking closely... The hood appeared a different color as it was so badly oxidized, the wheels had serious brake dust caked into them, the trim had years of dirt stuck in the cracks... the engine bay was in rough shape.























Playing with our new toy









Tons of fallout/contaminants on the paint even after a thorough wash

Trying out Sonax Total Effect (sprays on green then turns red as it eats away brake dust - did not work nearly well enough on these wheels)







The wheels needed to be hand scrubbed (took 2 hours to remove all of the caked on brake dust - you can see how stubborn the dust was in these photos)





Removing rust stains



Halfway through cleaning inside the gas cap - needed to be taken off to get in all the tight spots



Yuck



Another thorough wash including wheel wells

Inspection time... This car literally looked like it was MATTE white

Before/After of a side panel





Polished on the left, original on the right



Residue caked into the paint from antenna we removed





Very stubborn sticker removed off the glass





Scuff mark removed from front bumper





Left headlight polished, right headlight original (notice how foggy it is). Pitting could not be removed without wet sanding but a polish improved it greatly)



Driver's side polished up



Removed the spoiler to clean/polish properly
