That's funny - I could tell it's New Jersey from the licence plate of the Golf reflected in your door.

Nice job :xyxthumbs



I wanted to give #26 a try for a while but probably will have to wait till next year. Have to use up some of the stuff I've collected so far ;)
 
I dont really want to change it unless you guys have something that might give it some more POP!:shocked I figured since I am a noob at this my knoledge of products is very likited.
 
Looks pretty good! :up



What you may want to try going into winter is #20 Polymer Sealant topped with #16 Pro Paste Wax. Looks real good and should prove to be pretty durable. It will also look pretty similar to what you have now, maybe a touch more reflective.
 
Thanks Scottwax ,I just wanted to know is that what you suggest for me to use from now on or just through the winter and if you do have a certain combo you recommend fire away .I have been looking around the site some time now and I still cant belive how well your cars turn out so whatever yo suggest I will definately try !!!:xyxthumbs
 
nice job. try doing a search for 'blue' & 'civic' in the 'click & brag' section. there have been a fdw good looking blue civics. i think there was a recent one done with AIO and #16. and there are a lot of different combos you can try: Clearkote's VM with Poorboy's EX or EX-P; AIO & SG; the WG Twins; Meg's #80 & NXT, etc etc etc. :p



if anything, next time, try two coats of NXT, 12 hours apart, or if that is not possible, at least 1 hour. for your intercooler, what kind of metal is it? is it clear coated? you could probably try something like Eagle1's Never Dull or similar metal polish.
 
Thanks alot Hirosh for the suggestions and as far as the intercooler goes I really dont know if its bare or clearcoated aluminum .I would think it would be bare to exchange heat rapidly ?:nixweiss

Like Hirosh pointed out, there are several combos that look very good on that color. I just think for winter, the combination of 20/16 not only looks great but is pretty durable too.
 
Thanks alot guys I will be posting whats under the hood in the car customizing forum. I really want to get the reflection to be a little clearer and was wondering if I should use something else instead of deep crystal polish or should I work it in some more .The reflection is whats bothering me right now I like how the color looks and we will see how the durability holds up ?
 
is an awesome product and really underated - it's similar to Meg's Show Car Glaze but much easier to use (cheaper too!) - that combined with NxT gave you awesome results!! - cheap does not always mean bad :) - you can see the letters in the street in your bumper!! GREAT joB!
