Default Well, I did it again: 2001 Honda CRV

Well it's not an S2000, but is is a honda! An the GF will appreciate , all how the car looks.

When I finished my car the other day, I didn't think I ever wanted to go through that again. But since i have to drive her car around when it rains, or when we go workout (once or twice a day), I decided it deserved a little love as well.

So, armed with my new found super powers, I dove into a car that has had horrible cosmetic maintenance. To my knowledge it was only washed a couple times a year (thats what the rains for she says ), and even then it was just run through an automated car wash. It had also NEVER been waxed

I forgot to take before picks, but it definitely looked all of its 7 years. All the black plastic outside was gray, and their was no kind of reflection to be had in the paint.

So I re-cleared the headlights, "back to black" the exterior plastic, rain-X the windows, clayed, polished, waxed and cleaned all day... it went faster today since I knew what I was doing

Only my fellow wacko's could truly appreciate this, so I had to throw up a few shots.

Just part of my routine. I get up to swim for 1.5 hours in the morning (up at 5:00am), then at the end of the day I lift and then run 5-6 miles.
