Freshly Washed and Waxed Lude - Honda Prelude Forum

MugenPoweredLude · 06-08-2004, 08:40 PM

I finally got around to giving the lude the 3-step after its repaint in August of 2003
Its also the first time I used a buffer
the results were amazing

heres what I used:

Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo
Microfiber Towels(drying)
Meguiars Paint Cleaner...Step 1
Meguiars Swirl Remover 2.0...Step 2(substitue)
Meguiars NXT Tech Wax
Porter Cable 7424 Random Orbital Buffer

Im so amazed with the results I was kicking myself when I was done for not getting the PC 7424 earlier
I highly recommend that combo

enough rambling...Ill let the pics do the talking...

heres the link to the album for 1 or 2 more pics and if imagestation is being ***

Good stuff man, wish it would stop raining here, your pics make me wanna go detail the car.

MugenPoweredLude · 06-09-2004, 10:17 AM

thanks for the compliments guys

I thought it would take a lot less time to do the car...boy was I wrong

dont know why though

anyways, I got the PC 7424 from our sponsor, Premium Auto Care for $124.95(and I bought other things) + a 15% Memorial Day Discount

sweet...

blue_bb6 · 06-09-2004, 02:11 PM

LOVE the car man

. I liked how you got a solid bronze color for your rims. The polished lip look is getting overdone IMO. I got somethin similiar, cept its solid gunmetal on a blue lude. I need to learn how to detail like that...

Anyways, Could you give me some info on where/how much it was to repaint your lude? I was gonna go somewhere to paint my lip, repaint my side skirts, repaint front bumper etc etc. And i was thinkin maybe it would be more worth it to just repaint the car...

MugenPoweredLude · 06-09-2004, 02:46 PM

thanks guys

I got my lude repainted at Custom Import Performance in Marshalls Creek, PA(border of PA and NJ)
I got a somewhat good deal if I bought everything from them so I did....
however,

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THESE SCUMBAGS!!!
nothing but problems with these duschebags
Ive had my RS kit repainted twice all ready and again its starting to spider crack

that and their mechanics are idiots(except Eddie, hes the only one that knows how to do things around there)

so yea dont go to them
youre better off going to a local body shop

blue_bb6 · 06-09-2004, 04:14 PM

Alright..thanks for the heads up. I usually take my car to Pulaski Auto Body in Newark, NJ. Ive taken my car there before and they do a great job, not to expensive either. I was just looking for other options.

MugenPoweredLude · 06-09-2004, 04:23 PM

IMO....if they do a great job, stick with them
youre not going to mind paying the extra bit more $$$ because you know that theyre going to do the job right

NoRice4U · 06-09-2004, 10:34 PM

go find better scenery

MugenPoweredLude · 06-10-2004, 09:40 AM

^^^nah
my backyard is good enough

the minute I drive it out onto my dirt road it gets dirty so it wouldnt be as shiny

godfather16 · 06-15-2004, 02:02 AM
