100k Miles and some of the GLOSSIEST silver yet...

Hey guys, just showing off my own personal ride for once. This is just showing that a car properly maintained can look extremely good for years to come. I wash every few weeks during winter and once every 7 to 10 days in spring/summer. Some of you may disagree but I do honestly think this is some of the best looking silver on the streets

Car is a 2004 with 104544k on the clock.

A few people on here can vouch what it looks like in person as well.

Thanks to Thomas, Eric, and Ed for everything as well.

This car has been maintained with mostly Optimum.

Process here was:

ONR
Optimum Poli-Seal via white pad @ speed 6 on PC
Opti-Seal x2 with about an hour between
Optimum Car Wax v2





















Thanks to everyone at Autopia for such a great forum,
DJ

Very nice RSX.IMO the K20 is on of the best motors ever made.The kind of HP you can pull out of those engines with simple mods is impressive.Is it all stock under the hood???

Thank you all. The car has definitely been good to me. I don't really post mods just because these cars in this area have been stolen left and right.

I have to admit, that silver is blinging.

That is some real nice results on a nice looking Honda!
I am just waiting for my Poli-Seal and Opti-Seal to turn up. Any day now.....

Do you use Poli-Seal on the windows too?

Re: 100k Miles and some of the GLOSSIEST silver yet...

on the windows I use a 4 inch orange pad and the PC with Duragloss 755 Glass Polish. Then I use Opti-Seal.

Thanks

Looks good DJ, its impossible to capture our color like it is in person huh? Seems so flat in pictures but the flake really pops nicely when well maintained.
