im using simoniz 6" palm polisher low rpm, others use high rpm but i prefer low rpm buffer.

for bonnets i always add one extra layer for cushion everytime i buff my car hard.

for wax, its just mix and match and a little bit of experiment

i got meguiars ultimate polish, armor all extreme shield wax, simoniz spray wax detailer and turtle wax black spray
always use carnuba wax, sometimes its not saying in front. i always check the ingredients part

and micro fibre towels for finishing, cleaning and tweaking if you missed a small spot after buffing

hope this one helps

The bonnet shown in your picture looks like a wool one. Is that what you're using it against your car? Or are you using that as the cushion layer and putting another bonnet over it?

Since 2007 I have wanted to complete 2 modifications on my car. Number one was to replace the MR headlights with Nighthawk Black ones and number two was to do a full CF dash kits. Right after I bought the car I felt it would look better with black headlights instead of the MR ones. I called and found that it would cost me $800.00 to replace them. So that idea was forgotten, then I wanted to do the full CF dash kit but it was $250.00 and up for what I wanted. Another idea put away although I did find a CF kit with just a few pieces that I could afford. So this week I am getting my black headlights since the MR ones are getting toasted from the inside and looking bad. Can get them for a whole lot less than $400.00 for both. Then on e-bay the other day found that complete dash kit I wanted for only $69.00. Just got it today and waiting for a nice hot day to do the install - happy,happy, happy....

Had a short line of paint crack on my sideskirts from turning way to much to the left and hitting the curve

I had him washed today. It was a cheap manual wash but wasn't as good like those in the petrol stations. Tomorrow will be putting on his newly painted "new" spoiler

My 1st ever post, happy to be part FitFreak.

Went to a car accessory shop and bought my GD a set of Stebel Magnum Horns, (stock horns' too weak for me), i had my previous set of HID installed to and bought a set of B1 Hybrid amber bulbs to be placed in my park light.

and a week before also, had my car tinted at the same shop with 3M tints.

thinking of purchasing a spoiler for my ride, but the hole that will be drilled worries me.

I purchased right after I got my Fit a sticker to cover the 3rd light that looks like carbon fiber and has GD3 on it. Does anyone know where I can get another?? I love that thing but it is starting to peel up due to age and being in the sun. I would love to find another but when I go on e-bay nothing and can't find anything on the web.

something like this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-3M-DiNOC-CARBON-FIBER-3rd-BRAKE-LIGHT-STICKER-08-HONDA-FIT-JAZZ-JDM-/150670051347?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2314a28813&vxp=mtr#ht_5810wt_1019^ you can cut it out to fit the gd3. I think it's a bit expensive though and its from Thailand.

Maybe you can hit up Unofficial Honda FIT Forums - View Profile: vtecfit1 from Utah. I know he's done some decals for the Fit members before.

Thanks. I would say, "they helps". But upto what point, I dont know. xD

Eventhough the vents are small, I said "they helps" because I can feel some hot air coming out after driving.

After went through some modification on engine, exterior & wheel somewhere in February 2012. Cost about MYR11,000.00. Car had problem on coil plugs, suspension, engine mounting, radiator, etc. So, I sent to expert and asked him to fix the problem and make this car evil enough on the road.

What I really like about my Fit, is that I can put my bike inside in less than 20 seconds!

With a sedan, it's always a pain in the butt, and you might have to use Bungee cords...
