Newb with a Cyclo
 
First full car with the Cyclo. I love this thing. I'm staying away from my F150 until I get a few more guinea pigs to play with.

Sister-in-laws' beater/commuter '91 Civic. The car has some serious paint problems, but I attempted to bring back what life it had left- at least in most areas. Always outside for 17 years, takes a heavy toll on a car! Parts of the car, at least for ME in my inexperience, were irretrievable. In need of serious correction, if not a new paint job. But that ain't gonna happen of course.

Optimum No Rinse, Meguiars blue clay, Optimum polish– all with orange pad, Optimum wax wipe by hand.

Damn, you did a really good job!

Looks great! Your sister in law must have kept decent care of the vehicle (at least no dents and dings that I can see). I'm sure one of the nicer '91 Civics on the road!!!

There are dings all over, freeway rock chip damage on the hood, and some pretty bad dents. I just did not focus in on with photos. Its the type of object that'll only look good at a 10' minimum distance, no point in real close scrutiny:lol:

Wow... Very nice. Looks 100x better. I'm hoping to tackle my beater car sometime this week... :thumbsup:
