This is my personal car that I've kept swirl free for the past year or so i've been an autopian. The pictures arent the best but you get the idea. The last polish was about 2 months ago. The pics were taken after a a wash+wipe down with Pinnacle Souveran Spray wax. The process for the Cypress Green Pearl civic was:



-ONR 2 bucket wash

-Poli-seal LC orange pad-PC speed 5

-1 layer of Collinite 845 IW

-5 layers of Detailers Pride MaxWax over the past month

-1 layer of Pinnacle Souveran spray Wax

-Armor all original on the tires

-Armor all original in the wheel wells

-rainX on the glass

-Stoners invisible glass on the windows

-Rims polished with xmt2 by hand followed by collinite IW

Thank you all very much for the comments. It has many random mods. You obviously see the exterior mods. The suspension consists of Ksport Full coilovers with 36 way dampening adjustability, Spring-tech Camber kit, Blox Lower control arms, Blox 21 mm rear sway bar with spherical end links, 99-00 civic SI rear disc conversion, brembo drilled/slotted rotors with axis semi-metallic pads. The engine is the stock d16y8 Single over head cam VTEC. Ive upgraded the head with a crower stage 2 cam, crower titanium retainers, crower valvesprings, skunk2 intake manifold, AEM one piece intake, Converted to obd1 with a chipped p28 ECU, DC sports header. The interior has a pair of aftermarket seats, apexi VAFC, Momo steering wheel/hub, random CTR parts. I'm sure there are many other mods that i've forgotten but anywho. Stiffdogg06, the rims are Konig heliums powdercoated bronze. They are replicas of Volk CE28s. In person the look much nicer than in the pics. None-the-less, they are way too bland for my taste on there. I'll probably upgrade to some Enkei RPF1s or 5Zigen fn10rs soon.

I'll take them Konigs and put them on my ej1. I got gt3's right now.

Don't you love the Crower springs/retainers? I love mine. I also love my ZEX 59300 cam. If the Skunk2 pretty loud?

Well I like the fact that the springs/retainers are atleast a little insurance when im churning out 7800 RPM on my otherwise stock block d16. LOL. I was actually going to get that Zex cam initially when I was building my head and then I just ended up getting the crower. The skunk2 intake manifold really made the engine sound more like a B series. It definately changes the tone of the engine as well as a drastic change in top end power.

Nice. I'm running the mildly/fully built d16z6 turboed. Once this gets old or it goes, im hopin to get a b18c1/c5:woot2:
 
Awesome....I'd like to swap atleast a Bseries in soon, but right now I'm pretty content on keeping it clean and driveable. I sure wish engine swaps were cheaper than they are!
 
Yeah, LSvtec or b20Vtec would be nice but by the time I had saved all the money to have a decent build it would be years from now! LOL. School 35 hours a week, bills, and working only part time is owning all of my money. I have about $200 left over every month and that still has to go to groceries, gas money, and ect.
 
Poliseal is just what I use as my fine polish every few months. I initially used XMT2 on an orange pad on most of the paint with the exception of optimum compound in a few places. That was then followed with poli-seal on an orange pad and I've used the poli-seal/LC orange combo a few times since then.
