    3 Z2 layers + s100, will SEC strip them all?

    The title kinda says it all. My Accord has 3 layers of Z2 applied last month, plus 3 layers of s100 applied over the last 3 weeks. If I used SEC on top of it, I figure it will strip the s100 off. Will it take the Z also?

    To Tell the Truth?

    While I wholeheartedly agree about the facts of the matter, anyone think this sounds like a suicidal advertising plan for GM? Their campaign basically sounds like the same plea every guy gives his girlfriend after he cheats on her. "I know what I did was wrong, but I've learned from it. I'll...

    How hard would it be to do this maintenance myself?

    hey fellas. I own a 94 Honda Accord LX. It's recently topped the 90k mile mark- and I thought it would be a good idea (in addition to the timing belt/gasket/cv axle crap I already had fixed) to change out the plugs. How difficult would this be? AFAIK, the biggest obstacle is the the...

    Is This a Good Idea?

    I have a white Accord with 3 layers of Zaino on it. The shine is great. It's very mirror like. However, there are a few problem areas that Zaino seems to accentuate. I'm considering topping Zaino with a glaze and s100. Would this make the shine a little deeper looking and conceal some of...

    Best place to pick up a CD Receiver?

    Well, it's about time to replace the OEM cassette player in the Accord with a CD Deck. Problem is, I'm a poor college student. Anyone have any secrets about where to find quality prices on quality equipment? I don't need a $4000 Alpine system, I just want something that's plenty loud, won't...

    How's this for reviving a dead car?

    This weekend, I'll be detailing my sisters 1990 Toyota Camry. It's been neglected. The finish is orange-peeled in some areas, and just dull in others. I'm not a pro, nor do I have a PC, but I want to do the best I can with the products I have available. Wash Clay Polish: 3M Finesse It...

    Help me fix me ride?!

    Hey guys, I recently bought a 1994 Honda Accord in nearly pristine condition. I'd like to add a little performance to the car. I have no illusions that it's a sports car, it's not. And I also don't want to rice it out. No wings, body kits or lowering, I just want some simple ideas to...

    Well- I took a lot of the information found here to good use this weekend. I purchased a white 1994 Honda Accord LX in amazing shape, but it had a few problems. 1. tiny black splotches in the center of the hood. I was guessing tar or paint overspray 2. tiny swirl marks on hood...

    Car Cover Question

    I bought a new car cover last night. At the bottom of the cover on both sides of the car, there are two grommets. My assumption (since there were no instructions) is that these are to be tied together under the car so that the cover is more theft-resistant and wind-resistant. Is this correct...
