I just use Autosol metal polish. I do it at least once a year.

1. It's different to most of the Preludes here.
2. My Fujitsubo has no flat spots.
3. I like to be able to get in and out of it. :old:

I did indeed. As it was my first time, I used the softest pad and the mildest polish.
The paintwork still has minor swirl marks but looks clean. I need more practice before I go for a full on mirror finish. :oops:

funnily I was going to mention the lowering, but having done mine last year on Tein S.Techs which are only about -30mm lower, I went over a sleeping plodman recently at 3mph and still managed to ground out the front jacking points coming down off them, mind you they were stupidly steeped at the highest point :x

Low looks awesome just not terribly practical on a daily driver and mines not even that low :?

Yeah mine is 45mm down on Meister R and I use it as a daily :shock:

Doesn't cause me that much of a problem because I take the same route every day and know where the speed bumps are, if I go over them slow enough I don't bottom out. However, I have been caught out on a couple of speed bumps that I am not so familiar with and the car park when I play football I can't even get into because the speed bumps are just too high so I have to park outside and walk.

I still wouldn't go back to standard ride height though :D

All jokes aside, it is proper clean @Pushki and a real credit to you. 8-)


Just please promise me that even if it becomes a garage queen, you'll actually drive it!
Back when I had my classic, we had a few 'members' that would turn up to shows with the car on a trailer, carefully take it off. Start it up, coo over it for ten minutes and then load it back up. :roll: :lol:
