Project Panda - My 2010 Taffeta White Honda Fit Sport Build

speedfreek

Thanks for the heads up. I have used a couple of the Chemical Guys products on the Z and liked them. I will have to order some of that when I place my next order for car care products. I need to polish and wax both of them before cooler weather starts to set in.

good job on the fix, waizzz. i worked on my '12 too, done claybarring.

will do the Griot's OneStep Sealant over the weekend. yes, im lazy. it has diminishing abrasives while you seal. and i just toss the foam pad when im done cause it's a HUGE PITA to wash sealant off the pads.

Waiz

You just reminded me, I have a brand new bottle of sealant from CG that I need to use.

I have so much cleaning stuff at this point, it's getting absurd

kenchan

hahahaha, i use to be like that when i was a newb at detailing.
after trying a lot of products over the years, i just use a very selected few these days.

speedfreek

Feel free to send me anything you dont need I really need to break down and buy some stuff to polish and wax both of mine.

hahaha, i gave them away to a local a while back.

my detailing cart use to have all sorts of stuff on it. now it's just maybe 5 essentials and lots of towels.

i use this cart. very cool. i have another shelf of towels and pads, but that's about all i need these days.

Damnit why did I click that link, now I'm going to end up buying things

kenchan

it's a great size. not big like most cheap carts which gets into the way vs being functional. mine is like 8yrs old, holding up real well. they use to only cost $129 back in the day.

also check out their washbuckets. i have 2 of those. very good size, easy to store (since rectangular vs can), comes with lid to easily stack, grit guard built-in, casters, etc.

That cart would be nice. Maybe I can talk someone into getting it for me this Christmas along with some detailing stuff.

I just use two Home Depot buckets with the grit guards I got off Amazon.

those buckets work just fine. having casters is nice too. maybe you can make a bracket for the bottom and install your own casters?

you can probably even get away with having only 3 casters since it's round. and get one with the brake if your driveway has incline.

After driving a lowered Z for the last 5 years I have been spoiled since my car and roof is so low.

I do need to get some kind of fix stool for my driveway so I can clean the roof of the Fit effectively with my PC

kenchan

hahaha, i use a step stool myself.

get one with a slot in the center so it's easy to pickup with just your finger. plus, you can hang it on the wall when not in use and keep the garage floor clear.

Oh good one, my driveway is super slanted to I might need something a tad more sturdy. I will keep an eye out

Well I am one of those freaks that squeezes into the Z. So standing at 6'4" to 6'5" depending on which convenience store I am walking out of I can reach the top of the Fit without too much difficulty. Unfortunately the driver seat doesn't offer anymore room in the Fit than it does in the Z. Other than head room of course. My right knee is still touching the dash in either case.

And for some reason now I want casters on my buckets....
