View Full Version : The day off
My neighbors all sat around the grill and drank beer and watched me detail the Jeep. I could hear them snicker about how "the neighbor doesn`t do anything but wax his cars". At least tomorrow I`ll have a clean car and no headache.

Nice job on the Jeep. Whats your neighbours problem, dont they have a life? Dont let them get to you, your business is nothing to do with them. Would they like if you did that back? Exactly!

Looks very good :xyxthumbs
LOL! John Ross, the neighbors don`t bother me at all. They are a sideshow all by themselves. They just got busted for having out of state plates on all 3 of their cars. They avoided paying Nebr. or city taxes because of the foreign plates. Seems as though someone finally turned them in after 7 years and they not only had to buy Nebraska plates and pay city tire taxes, they also had to pay the 7 years back taxes and interest to avoid going to jail. Imagine this - my wife thinks I may have been the one to turn them in! I`m shocked at her suspicious nature....
Thats good it doesnt bother you. Anyway, i really have to say that the finish on your Jeep is superb!! It is a little darker than the shade on my Arnage but it has a similar deep and wet shine. I am going to save this thread and use it as an inspiration. (I do this whenever someone else has a car(thats great looked after cars) in the colors i have.
Again, job well done.
All the best,
JOHN ROSS:xyxthumbs

That is great looking!!
What did you use??

I used Zaino Z-3 (same as Z-2 but with anti-oxidizers for non-clear coat paint). I used the Z-3 because it was some of my left over stock from when I was a Zaino distributor. Normally I would have used Z-2 or Z-5, but figured time to use up old stock. I had wet sanded the entire vehicle last year so I always keep it well protected because the wet sanding eliminates some of the clear coat, making it more prone to failure due to weather effects. I figure I`ll just repaint if it fails before I decide to get a new ride. I love messing with paint anyway. So far, no signs of clear coat problems, even after all winter (never garaged, that`s reserved for the Vette and Prelude). Also washed it about a dozen times at the old quarter car wash during the winter.

I like the brakes. Nice touch. And great reflection! Man, you`re like 20 feet away and I can make you out clear as a bell. Cool! :bow

dlw, I find it rather funny myself that you reserve the garage for your 15/16 year old son`s car instead of parking YOUR car in there! LOL. :D
Yep, thats a genuine Honda dealer bought type R badge on the back of the Jeep. Before I bought my son his Prelude, I asked him what type of car he wanted to drive to school. His response was "a Type R". I told him to be careful what he wished for and the next day, I went to the Honda dealer and picked up the Type R badge and put it on the Jeep just to torment him. He thought it was so funny that we`ve had it on there now for almost a year! I figure if they can`t take a joke.......
