Why is that old cabin filter so long ?!? It’s such a small car. That filter is like the width of most of it.

just wanted to share the results from a 8 hour detail.
decided to go with the cheapest option and went with a single step detail/paint correction. im pretty happy with the results. fingers crossed this is it for the "to do" list for this year. time to just enjoy the car and tackle the rest next season. pic heavy because it will never be this clean again lol  |

That looks great. The gray hides your hard work 
I've only ever really did single stage polish on my cars. All my cars are daily drivers and honestly 70-80% there is good enough 120% of the time. It'll only be perfect for like the first day until I drive it to Metrotown and leave it in the parking lot for 3 hours. Plus I never had two days in a row to actually polish it to perfection. 8 hours is as much as I and my back can muster.
Other than getting PPF and ceramic done one the M3 when I got it, I haven't done shit to it other than just wash it every few months or so.

Well with your white car and that blue wrap it’s easy to maintain anyways. Good paint protection with the blue wrap.

i just want to get it back to 80%. main reason i wanted a professional detail was the inconsistency in shine and light scuffing in the clear coat.

As much as I want a clean car, you drive it for one day, some bird poop and dust and it's ruined again

White can actually make a difference as the white can "glow" after a good detail whereas the "glow" doesn't really show on a darker car. Even a light silver will glow.

I just tried my new drying technique yesterday after washing the car from the sea to sky trip.
I took out my new Costco leaf blower and within 5 mins everything was dry.
Excellent !

Helping my parents sell my high school car because my sister and I have both left the house.
We haven't touched it since Feb. What does Revscene hive mind think this is worth?
Comps seem to be around the 5k mark with unknown maintenance/carfax. 2006 V6 Accord Sedan The bad:
211k KM
Scuffs on the bumpers, front bumper has a small crack
Timing belt will need to be done in the next year or two
Glove box handle is cracked, can still open and close The good:
Two sets of tires - 2019 date code Michelin XIce 3 and Altimax RT43 both around 70%
Clean Carfax and all VIN tags (other than $400 glass claim)
Everything else is super well maintained:
- Suspension: Control arms done
- Transmission: Fluid and filter every year, religiously
- Brakes: Akebono ACT and new discs all around, rear calipers a few years ago
- Steering: replaced reservoir filter + new fluid every few years
- New starter and accessory belt
AC blows strong
Averages 10L/100km commuting around Vancouver
Pretty good 300W sound system
Hardwired dashcam front and rear
Did a paint correction last year, no fading

I’m leaving the country. E transfer only. My Nigerian prince guy will contact you
Put it up for 10k. See what happens. A lot of poor / dumb fuckers out there. Let them low ball you.
Or you might get some dumb bitch who pays for what you want

Used market still sounds ridiculous. A coworker got offered 5k trade in at an oem dealer. Coworker sold on FB marketplace within a few days for almost 10k and people were blowing up their phone messaging about it. When I did a quick and dirty search on Craigslist for the value, it was maybe 8-9k.

The under 10k space is still very in demand. Lots of lower income ppl who can't afford 30k or 800/m for a newish car.
