I didn`t get any pics of the interior after it was finished because it got dark and I got pressed for time building a motor, etc. I got about 80 percent of the scratches/swirls out of it. Customer seemed happy.





*note* this was my FIRST time with a rotary, and I must say, I was very scared, but half way through the detail, I became very confident and with just one pass with it, I removed roughly 80 percent of the swirls/scratches. (I know there`s still a few left, but customer only paid for 1 step+wax instead of 3 step, so this is what they got) :)

I don`t like Hondas one bit, but I would definitely daily one of these. It`s a very well built, luxurious car for what it is. I liked it.

Beautiful Job, I`m sure she was happy with it. Considering how it looked before, they better take care of it. :p

thanks bro. let me tell you...a rotary is SOOO much easier than a DA. I`m never looking back. In the beginning, there was steam coming off the pad though because I didn`t know how hot it got, but I kept plenty of lube on there and it never happened again lol

Looks great for a first time rotary user. I don`t like the Accord coupes though I prefer the sedans. :D

I was looking at one of those with a 6 spd before I bought my Civic but it ended up being out of my price range. Good turnaround on the black, it looks great!
