Default Wash and Wax Fiesta!!! (finally allowed to wax my baby)

Well it's been a month since it has come out of the bodyshop so i gave it a nice clean wash and wax today.

Big thanks to AK Autoworks out here in Burnaby B.C. for the amazing amount of effort they put into the body/paint on my car.

I used Black Magic Wash and Black Magic Wax............... I must say that I wasn't really happy with the products (they were free so I had to try em), they did get me a great nice shine but the wax left a weird residue which i really had to clean hard to get rid of after the wax came off. I will now stick to meguires :D

Anyways, here are some pics I just took about 1 min ago :D

Comments/Suggestions welcome!

Next up either b16a or h22a swap with a JRSC :D

IF it was my car I'd get:
oem amber turn signals
all red tails
oem c/f hood (not a fan of vent)

other than that it's blinging. looks good with the new wheels.

Nice car! IMO, red tails, oem CF hood, and some amber side markers would really make that car pimp!

There are no OEM amber signals for the 94-97 Integra. All amber signals for this car are crappy painted ****, or mass produced all orange "JDM" crap made in Taiwan. Is it me or does nearly everyone have the same style on H-T??? OEM style CF hood, "JDM" amber lights, an immitation or replica "lip kit" bit from a reputable Japanese tuner, and of course, ROTAS.

Ditch the hood and sideskirts pronto. The front lip is OK to me and I don't mind the clear lenses. Paint looks kick *** Are the wheels 17's? Regardless overall I like it. B16 though? Why? I say stick w/ the B18 you have and go boost

Looks good.

If you were unhappy with Black Magic pick up some Meguiars NXT. Can be found almost everywhere, inexpensive, and one of the best long lasting synthetic waxes out there. I use it a lot and love it, easy on, easy off with little effort. Some people will say not to use it because it has abrasives but guess what, all synthetic waxes have abrisives. It is what gives them their cleaning properties and what it needs to adhere.

If you want the ultimate in gloss and depth get some S100 carnuba wax. Only downside is that it is pure carnuba and only lasts 2-3 months.

And on my SI I found the best depth was achieved by polishing with Vanilla Moose prior to wax but that is a whole other thread.
