Just for a laugh I drove by this jewel after seeing it in the paper for sale. To my horror, my 14 year old daughter feel in love with it! Being a true obsessed detailer's daughter, her biggest concern is if the silver can be made shiney enough. Now that the Prelude is basically done, I admit...

I just did 3 coats of Zaino Z-5 mixed with the proper amount of ZFX on the black Prelude. The first 2 coats were great, looked nicer than ever. The problem came on removal of the 3rd coat of Z5/ZFX. I had to let it sit for about 4-5 hours in the garage (about 65F degrees) before removing it...

I'm starting to run out of things to do to the Prelude. Just finished under the hood and think I'm probably just going into a "maintanence" mode with the car now. This has been a great project for my son and I. He's begun to notice things on other cars that he never even saw before, and has...

Son's '93 Prelude is a VTEC model that came with a one-of-a-kind 6x9 subwoofer in the center of the back seat backrest. Like the other 6 speakers in the car, it was totally shot. A new Honda sub was about $100 and hard to get, so we bought a pair of Kenwood 6x9" 3-way speakers and put one in...

I finally got around to repainting the valve cover on the Prelude. This was my first experience with wrinkle paint. It was a lot easier that I had thought, the directions sounded like it would be a real bear. I think it turned out OK, now to see how long it will stay put on the aluminum valve...

After hearing the Omaha forcast for today (75 degrees), I decided to tackle the engine bay on my son's '93 Black Prelude. First task: underside of the hood. I've never seen a hood with as many gussetts, braces, holes with indented surrounds, etc. Close to 10 years of hard water spots, oil...

if I ever think about buying another black car. On top of the compelling urge to wash and Zaino it every day just to keep it looking good, I got stuck a couple of cars behind a city sanding truck today on the freeway. The thing hit a huge bump and dumped a giant lump of gravel out of the back...

I've been using Zaino Z-16 Perfect Tire Gloss for some time, but heard so much about 303 that I ordered a gallon. Honestly, when I looked at both products, I thought they were the same thing, both a milky white liquid. After quite a bit of use though, I've determined that the Z-16 works better...

Because I have enjoyed my son's Honda Prelude so much, I decided to look into trading my Cherokee for a nice used Honda SUV. After a day of dealing with the Bozo's I am now happy to hop into my Jeep and ride off into the sunset. I visited 5 dealers and 1 individual yesterday to look at used...
