Rangerdans EG6 Clay bar and Fresh wax True RHD
Well I finally got around to using a clay bar and doing a high speed buff on the car. Hopefully the pics can show the detail of the paint. I started with the usual scratches and paint ickys.
I wasn't looking forward to using the clay bar, after just a couple minutes I felt like a pro....it SO easy. All the little deposits left over from sap, tire, bird droppings or whatever comes right off leaving the paint super smooth and ready for wax. In my case I used a light compound at high speed and hand waxed with Mothers carnuba hard wax.
Here is a pic of some of the typical scratches in the paint. This being the worst.
And here is after.
Heres a reflection pic.
I went all pic ***** today...so beware lots of pics.
City lights.
First place Best Import. Peoples choice award.
I can already hear mumblings about an engine shot...well I forgot to take any lol.
Will do that after I leave the shop today.
Comments welcome.

haha. This is going to sound funny, but I wasn't going for the jdm thing its just that I liked the car. I do like all the extras they (Japan) gets though.
As for the shifting it aint nothing to learn. Actually I autoxed it and didn't hit one cone. Had the car sliding around the track (controlled) it hooked up nice.
Clay bar is So easy I felt like an idiot not doing it sooner...so get to it!
