Bought a clay bar kit, and checked the engine oil level.

Also, tested out the haze removal on my side window frame, using Meguire's PlastX Clear Plastic Cleaner & Polish + Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

This is the actual haze. ← (The lighter colored section.) I'm assuming it's the surface being aged over the course of +10 years. I happened to found out that it can be scratched off.

Since this was only a test, you can see some imperfections at the bottom that need to be done.

The test is valid. It's becoming nice & glossy that I won't need to apply vinyl sheets and what not. I need to remove the side mirror to complete the job, but I'm just too lazy today...:Smoker: I'll post some before & after pics once it's done. ;)

Bought 4 quarts of ATF as the car is due for a fluid change, and 3 quarts of MTF (for another car) for only $80. Having friends with connections is such a bonus :D btw.. I'd have to pay over $100 for 4 quarts of the ATF itself if I bought from USA :ugh:

Anyways ............

It looks like I'll be selling the accord in the next month or two one of my parents friends'. :boohoo: Tbh, the main reason is because I'm bored of the automatic gearbox.. A 6 speed swap isn't feasible and worth the money I would have to pay as I'm from Australia.

I've been driving around in my brother's EK civic a lot lately and its just so much more fun with the manual transmission and b16a engine. I might end up getting it, as he has another car he uses, once I sell the accord off. It may be a downgrade but I have my personal reasons and interest...

I will probably still post here as this forum is the best I've been a part of :) I'll be making a non-6ga members ride thread if and when the day comes..

I might get Bill's or Keychain's depending on money situations in the next few weeks
Sounds good. Let's hope you'll be able to get the authentic one.

:sad:

I'm gonna miss your Accord big time, Alex... You have to promise us that you'll stick around, even without her!

Ah I guess that would be easy enough. I have never seen it at advance or autozone but I guess I'll look at Wally World today.

Thanks for the picture Tyler..just in case I didn't know what Walmart looked like. I know alot of that stuff you usually can't buy in stores that's why I asked. :)
