Haha thanks! Well usually when I do a full detail like 3 stage wax and polish I do it at the shop I work at with some coworkers.. True Elegance Detailing.. We travel to companies as well to detail employees cars and stuff.. But when I'm alone I just do a quick 2 stage wax.. No clay bar.. No buffer.. Just by hand..

Hand wash with Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Wax base Soap. Rinse the car and don't dry.. While it's still wet I go with carnauba wax by SmartWax, Mothers, or Croftgate, (whichever I have available at the time mainly smart wax).. Then ofcourse a wipe down.. Then a spray wax to seal the carnauba wax.. Croftgate for that.. Works wonders.. And for tire shine and wheels I also use croftgate.. Works on plastic, vinyl and other panels.. Like interior.. And vacuum and SmartDetailer for windows.. I don't charge as much as the shop I work at charges.. They charge $150-$250 a car.. With what I do I only charge $30-$60 a car.. But then again cuz at the shop they use a buffer and we go with polishers then wax then more polishers then wax and cut into the clear coat a bit then seal it.. Leave cars with no swirls at all.. And we wash and shampoo and remove interior stains.. And freaken gotta use q tips for the tiny spaces.. I use like 100+ A day..

Talking

Whats up Whats up guys! Quick update on how the Fit is coming along If you're interested xD. Idk what happened to the past photos. I can't find them. but current photos are better anyways right?

SOOOOOOO on with the show.

After a few months of running the custom brackets I made, it started to warp my roof. And rip the plug out or something. Some by the name of Jan Gat hooked it up with some actual fabricated brackets for the fit. The brackets are perfect. haven't had a problem since. and they actually look nice and fit right.





Then I got some really nice LED reverse lights from my friend Johnson. they were bright af. really helped me at night aha. no pics tho.. to bright

A few months ago i stillllllll couldn't sell my Enkei NTO3+M 17x7.5 +45 4x100 with tires. SOOO I took them to get powder coated by Powder Coating Maniacs in Torrance, CA. After 2 weeks of waiting, they told me the powder was on back order. I wanted HD Teal done. But it was on back order for another 4 weeks. So I decided to ask for a different colors and they were nice enough to not charge extra and to get them done as soon as possible. I asked for Illusion Lite Blue. AND oh yes, they look different shades of blue depending on lighting conditions and crap. Its a heavy Metallic Silver and blue with an extremely shy clear coat haha.. IDK the terms.. Thanks Zuriel and Max for the photos!!







My next mod was to get rid of those grandma tail lights. So I kept looking for Axis tails. but no luck finding nice ones. I heard about these Spyder tail lights from Jaivee and Kevin. Did some research on em and decided to pick them up. I gotta say REALLLY LOVE these tail lights!! sooo yea! all LED. Sorry i didn't get a shot of the signal lights or the brake. but this is the outcome.. they're actually brighter than the pic and not smoked..




I ALSO ordered custom plates. they'll be coming soon I hope xD you guys will like it.. secret! BUT ANYWAYS!!! thats all i have for now! thanks for viewing! and much much more to come. I have a list written up. Actually wanted to pick up an NSX but that aint within reach.. Ill just blow my NSX money on my dear Fit.. xD jk. that NSX is mine!



Be sure to follow me on IG; @_NARDE cuz my fits updates are way better on that haha..
