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.

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
