I met up today with NYdetailer and we took a crack at detailing my 1999 Electron Blue Pearl Honda Civic Si. I will just let the pictures do the talking...

what did you guys use? looks great

hey break neck...wanna buy a turbo kit for your car? made 248 hp with a safc and vortech vmu .private message me if your interested
 
Damn but EBP is such an awesome color when clean. I really miss my 00 Si:( . Hearing the second cam switch over into VTEC with an AEM shorty was sooo much fun.



I have yet to see a blue that I like near as much as my old Si.



Great work the two of you :wavey .
 
Later this week I think NYdetailer and I decided to step up to a more abrasive polish to attack the minor swirls that still remain. So it will be stripped down, and polished further, then shined back up. I am sure we can get this thing to shine even better, stay tuned. :xyxthumbs

Every time i look at those i hear the voice of Mike Meyers and Madona going "it's like butta"



I will admit it's a pretty slick color when done right....



But yes the black ones are the fastest :D :rofl



one more for the SI lovers:

Bah...! You Si boys and your shines. Don't make me get my GSR brothers in here to lay the smack down. lol :lol ;) That SSBP is a really awesome color though. I saw a GSR Sedan that color a bout a year after I bought mine. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been as happy... White is just so easy to maintain. Tough decision. Those do look great though. :xyxthumbs

That's not Supersonic Blue Pearl! This is Supersonic Blue Pearl:

This colour changes from purple to bright blue to royal blue depending on the light and angle. Not the greatest picture to show off the shine but it does show the colour.



Currently the colour is more like Flat Dull Grey :( Bring on the summer.
 
That is true. My bad. I'm not up to date on my Civic colors. My wife calls it barney purple but I keep telling her that its nowhere near purple. That Si Blue is awesome. I like SSBP better though. Its darker I think. I've never seen them side by side to compare though. What color is the Si blue called anyway?
 
The Si blue is Electron Blue Pearl. My mechanic has an SiR (Canadian Si) and when the two are side by side the difference in colour is quite striking.



He wants to get his car painted the colour of mine... I want his 400hp turbocharged engine in my car though :)



We now return you to your normal, unhijacked thread...
 
Its getting there, NY detailer is taking the car back soon. We are going to use a stronger polish with the pc and then the rotary if need be. We got swirls that didnt come out that we need to work on a bit. We should have more pics up soon, and then this baby will really shine.
 
On the tires i think i used Forever Black, and buffed it really good. For the swirl removal i used my PC and 3m FI-II. It did the job. You can see... there were almost no swirls on the entire vehicle.

Think you got them mixed up there



Canadian SIR = USDM SI

Canadian SI = USDM EX



I'm not 100% sure but the believe the US only got the EBP color for the SI whereas us canadians have it for all models.

That's what I said :) The SiR is the Canadian version of the Si (note that I'm Canadian). It is correct that what we call the Si is the US EX.



Originally we got EBP on the SiR and the SE. The last year of that bodystyle I believe it was also available on the DX but I can't say that I've ever seen that colour on the Si.
 
Shweet pic!



I have noticed one thing about pic of cars done by NY detailer.... he loves to include his bright yellow extension cord in the pics! :D



NYD...just kidding...great job! :xyxthumbs
