    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Sorry for not being more clear/specific. I was referring to the coating I was using, which is the Optimum Lense Coating product. For the headlights, if you have to regularly polish them because of yellowing then there is a strong chance the UV...

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Careful with the chamois Chris. It works, but because it does not have any fibers like a microfiber towel, any particle that gets on it will be dragged along the surface of your paint. But if your paint is really clean from a wash, then it's ok...

    What did you do today Auto Detailing related?

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Okay. Since you mentioned you let it sit for about an hour to cool down I'm assuming it was sitting outside before you washed it? It seems you did everything correct besides the whole temperature scenario. Maybe the wax hazes really quick then...

    What did you do today Auto Detailing related?

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Did you wash your car in the sun or shade? If in the shade, did you let your car sit in the sun prior washing? This will heat up the metal or plastic. Did you dry your car off first before waxing or waxed when still wet? For the wax...

    Difference between CAPA and Value-line tail lights?

    ^ spot on Davis. The part is still aftermarket, but it's been inspected to ensure fitment. Now that doesn't mean it's a guarantee they fit like OEM, but it's significantly better than non inspected aftermarket parts.

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? The Pros and Cons of Polishing By Hand and Machine I wanted to do a brief comparison between polishing paint by hand, and by machine. Most people start polishing by hand first to get a feel of what happens when you grab a bottle of polish with a...

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Thank you. The last step protection is as equally important as the execution process. Applying clear coat is another method which also works as well, but it requires a little bit more tools and knowledge about using a spray gun. Thank you...

    What did you do today Auto Detailing related?

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? I recently completed my retrofit for my headlights, and upon closer inspection the lenses very severely oxidized, and the previous owner sanded them leaving me more problems to fix. The method I used to "restore" the headlights is only one out of...

    OEM headlight horizontal adjustment

    I just finished mounting my retros and did some aiming yesterday. I was able to adjust it up and down perfectly, but the knob for left to right did not change anything on my mini H1's. I know the knob works because the reflector buckets go inward or outward, so I'm kinda lost and frustrated atm...

    Re: What did you do today Detailing related? Brad, Good job getting the heavier/bulk build up of dirt/brake dust off. Do you know if the lip is clear coated or bare aluminum? To test a rim, apply a light polish and rub on an inconspicuous area. If the wheels are painted you'll see the color...

    What'd you do to your accord today?

    Finally after 2-3 years of buying the Mini H1's, I am going to get it done. Atm I am playing around with a blackhousing design that's not too common. Let me know what you guys think. I'm not sure if I am going to place the clear reflector on the corner or not. I need to take it off my...

    Tphong's 06 Acura RSX type S A-spec body

    Very nice pick up, congrats. This specific model is one of my favorites out of all the years for the RSX. The blue color with those headlights and tail lights completes the exterior look. It being a 6 spd manual makes it even sweeter. :thumbsup:
