Teh last time meh and my love toy make a the sexytime.... it was very niiiiiice..... :leeann:

Started my day off with leaving work at 7:45ish... went to a car was and got the exterior washed and dried... cuz i'm lazy...(kinda)....for $6.00 lol

Went and parked under a building (for the shade) and started to claybar... I have to give mad props to anyone that has ever used a clay bar on their car.... I had no idea it was so tedious... :eekwtf:

followed up with some Meguiars cleaner wax.. since it came with the clay bar and I couldn't find any of my "useful" car cleaning crap

*** anyone with any kind of knowledge on paint please look at the pic of my hood (its fuking awesome) and tell me what the hell is going on and how can i fix it?!?!? *****

Teh Pixors!! (I had to use my ghetto Samsung 6mp since my XTi is in fuking Tennessee....with my other half.. )

Thats what you call oxidation. You could just have the hood resprayed, shouldn't run you more than $300. The rest of you car looks to be in pretty good shape.

Is this a problem with DEP? I've noticed this problem a lot with this color. My car is a 98 and has no oxidation what-so-ever.

That $300 would include the prep and spraying. A good shop could have it done in a day or two.

its not just DEP or the blacks that get this. ive seen it on every color on a 6th gen.

It happens to every car.. due to age. My car has some weird stuff going too.. but it's not oxidation, it's spots where rocks chipped paint off, and the sun baked halos around the bare area and the metal underneath is beginning to rust on the hood particularly... !! :bash:

I see it on the dark maroon/purple all the time, like half the ones i see. I think those two are most common (well, black maybe aswell, i don't see as many black accords).

But yeah, no fix except paint.
