Didn't get a chance to install the Clazzios since it was raining most of the day but took a little bit of time to clean my headlights on both my cars since they were looking hazy



Panda


Z


Used my Porter Cable, 3" polishing pad, and Chemical Guys Cut 1.0


Finished it off with the Chemical Guys sealant


Z headlights looking shiny again!


Panda too!

kenchan

crystal clear!

kenchan

hey i noticed you have a stb in your Z. is that factory?

i have a arc titanium one in my G. thing cost a fortune, but the only one available at the time. ofcourse some dumbarse had to make a copy of it and started selling faux ones.

Waiz

I did them both a year ago using the Meguiars Plastic Polish, this was the first time I used the Cut 1.0 and it does a way better job!

Oh damn that ARC one is so nice, I have a Greddy one that I had repainted at the base to match my repainted engine cover. I got a great deal on it a few years ago, very quality piece

kenchan

yah, i use ScratchX whenever i get wax residue build up on my lenses. ive not had any hazing or clouding on either of my Fit (parked outdoors 24/7) nor my G (parked indoors).

@ greddy strut bar. looks good.

Finally got a chance to work on the Panda last two days and put in some work

First up I removed the rear bumper and painted the rear diffuser section with black Plasti-dip and followed it up with their Glossifier which acts like a clear coat and makes the surface look like gloss black paint instead of a flat black Plasti-dip

Stock bumper removed



First coats of Plasti-Dip applied



Glossifier applied and now it has the shiny appearance



Installed pics after it dried







Second thing I did was finally install my leather Clazzios

Front



Rear

Clazzio tag



Initial impression: seats are night and day in terms of comfort. Stock seats felt like the material was too thin and the cloth felt cheap, these really give the car a more luxury feel and have a factory/OEM like appearance to me. Definitely worth the investment!

axmea?

Looking good Waizz. You should take it to the meet. You did not have to do any 2500/3500 grit sanding for you headlights?

looks good waizzz

huh, that rear diffuser-look looks good. i might paint mine too down the road if i have time.
i'll probably use the kav paint code.

Waiz

Thanks Rafael, I might bring it to the next meet.

I didn't have to use any sandpaper since that compound already has a cutting agent in it

Thanks Ken, the way I sprayed it you can't tell it's PD which is what I was going for. I am so glad I had that diffuset painted, really ties together my whole look

kenchan

yah, i was thinking about painting the bottom center part of my '12 front bumper, so this rear diffuser look would really tighten things up for consistency.

Waiz

Good idea, I have seen a few with that look and I like it
