Default A couple of hours and half a pack of cigs with a buffer and my CB7 beater looks like this:

Lets face it, my Accord's stock paint looks pretty beat up...Roof and trunk peeling. Hood all chipped up from 14 years and 210,000 miles of freeways did its toll on the poor car...I had lot of time to kill yesterday so i hit it with a buffer and wax to see how it would look...I was floored by the results....She looks good enuff now that i think i will put the color change off for a while and just have my painter spray the hood, roof, trunk, and moldings for the time being..I didnt think that old paint still had shine left in it...

before, all swirled up:



now:





how she looked when she was brand new in 1992 when my cousin owned her:

Ray smokes a half pack of cigs in like 20 minutes, so make time estimates from that.....

Call me up holmes, I don't know your new schedule so I don't really wanna call the house unless I know you're home... the Smurf's time has come for the feature on my site!

p.s. Change the shocks too! My head still hurts from that night bouncing all over the place on the 91...
