So I did this DVP Teg for a friend of mine on Saturday. The thing is, this was one of those, "good paint to great paint" things. He is a member over at Team-Integra <--edit* and has learned from Jngrbrdman, StyleTEG, and myself, so his car was already clayed, AIO and SG.



After examining his car, I noticed a plethora of surface scratches...some were very deep as well as some pretty deep swirls on the horizontal surfaces. He bought this car off a lease and it was a gem on the interior but the exterior was a wreck, he said. This car was also polished by the Acura dealer he works at back in the fall, but we know how trustworthy they can be :)



Anyways, what I did was:



-Mother's Gold Wash

-Clay Magic Clay

-Mother's Gold Wash

-WW MF Dry

-Spot buff all scratches with Meguiar's #83 DACP and LC Cutting Pad via Rotary @ 1500rpm

-Buff whole car and rims with Meguiar's #82 SFP and LC Cutting Pad via Rotary @ 1500rpm

-Buff whole car with P21S GEPC to remove buffer haze with LC Polishing Pad via Rotary @ 1500rpm

-Klasse AIO (by hand)

-Klasse SG (by hand)



-Old No.7 Chrome Polish on Exhaust

-Rain-X on windows

-Armor All on tires and wheel wells

-303 Aerospace on all rubber/plastic pieces, and front lip (painted with DupliColor bumper paint)



5 hours of work and it came out exceptional. I was very pleased how reflective the DVP paint came out.

Enjoy!
 
Thanks guys.



The color, I think, is quite amazing. Some call it, "the new black". It's just very rare and is a pleasure to look at when all detailed.
 
SChweet - GSR 0 Hey man I got my eye on GSR or a Prelude - GSR is a 4 door coupe - which one you think is more "fun" factor
 
The Integra people are invading! Ahhh!!!



It really does look nice. Different color. A carbon fiber hood that is taken care of and not swirled is something different--more people should try it!

My Accord fits a baby seat in the back more easily then an Integra.



Oh and I have fake wood. How many integras have fake wood? :o



:p
 
Thanks for all the compliments :)



groebuck: Of course I'm partial to an Integra, but the Prelude has a little more power. It's all in what you want. PM me if you have more questions and also check out www.team-integra.net :)
 
as rusty as my old GSR was, I miss the 8K redline.



But honestly, after having 3 previous MR2's I missed them dearly! I will not ever NOT own a MR2 I've decided. They are just too much fun.



I'm saving for a turbo motor swap as we speak, and I've got a weekend of 9 cars to detail in Detroit/Ann Arbor next month, so that'll pay for 1/3-1/2 of the swap.



Great job as always GSRStllez.



Sadly, I don't get on TI much anymore, but I do post in the local forum and I see some of those guys all the time.



Keep the pics coming!
 
as much as I love preludes, stay away from the h22a engine. It burns oil real bad(about 2 quarts in 5000 miles). Only way I would ever get one is if it had a new engine.

VTEC motors are notorious for burning oil, especially the B18C's found in GSR's and Type-R's... "normal" oil consumption should be around 1qt per oilchange (3k miles or so)



Your 2 quarts in 5k miles doesn't sound too unreasonable. My GSR drinks 1qt every 1k miles, but that's because my piston rings are shot :grrr



Anyhow, great work as always on the Integra... I have yet to see a DVP GSR in person - I always see SSBP around here...
