Smile 08Si Wash/Wax/Polish

Here is my baby all fresh and clean, i just washed and polished my wheels i didnt take a before picture i forgot , but my wheels were no where near as clean as they are now. I use BlueMagic($10) polish on my lip MAN IT MAKES MY WHEELS SHINE LIKE CRAZY would recommend it to anyone who has a polished lip, when i wash my car i use Honda Wash'n Wax shine, its unbelievable only $9 at the honda dealership. To shine up my tires i use Turtle Wet'n Black also about $9 at crappy tire, and to clean the dirt and grime off my wheels i use Eagle One Aluminum wash & cleaner or Hot Wheels also about $10. i love when my car's clean i could stare at it all dayyyyyy \

THE PICS WERE TAKEN OFF MY iPhone so if the quality isnt great im sorry.

Wheels kill the look of the car... otherwise it looks nice.

Considered using a real wax?

Yah I'm gonna start using real wax, what's the best wax out right now? If anyone can recommend any that would be great. I just wanna ask how do my wheels kill the look of the car when all I've heard is good things about my car even when I pump gas ppl say man ur car looks sick! Just cuz their 20's and their not ricer wheels don't hate

not ricer? Really? We've been over this in your older threads, but, what the hell..

A - Way too big for the car, resulting in loss of performance. Makes it look cartoony
B - Rubber band tires, resulting in crappy ride quality
C - Black wheels w/a polished lip was a fad that ended years ago
D - 20"s belong on escalades

All this, for the sake of "looking cool?" I must have forgotten what the definition of rice is.


Don't get me wrong. YOU obviously like it, so more power to you. I simply posted my opinion, which is that I dont like it, and think it looks ridiculous.



Best wax I've used, within reasonable price range - https://www.hondacivicforum.com/foru...ad.php?t=12463

"best wax there is," don't bother, costs thousands.
