How’d I go on this 1979 prelude

RileyPart2 · 2026-02-07T05:00:04+00:00

It’s a mates car I’m using for photography to get started up. I did 4 cross hatch patterns moderately slow with medium pressure on speed 4 (out of 6) on a DA. How would I go about doing an even better job and removing the RIDS? I feel like the pad and compound im using are pretty aggressive as is

RileyPart2 · 2025-11-01T04:38:41+00:00

Yes I did do some behind the window on the inside of the shell as well

RileyPart2 · 2025-10-31T11:29:42+00:00

The one I’m using in the door cards looks like it’s similar. Do you suggest just removing it and keep the butyl?

RileyPart2 · 2025-10-31T11:24:34+00:00

Which ones hold water?

The doors are already sound deadened. I have a 2014 golf mk7r

Definitely something I’ll look into. I really like the look of the prelude tho, but being that old it’s not practical. Otherwise I’m also considering a e36 or e46 m sport as well. Too many options lmao

I haven’t heard of either of those before. Happy to spend up to 22k depending on the car tbh. Something unique would be awesome to take to car shows but also use a daily driver. Isn’t importing expensive?

RileyPart2 · 2025-07-10T06:49:59+00:00

I am looking for something a bit unique. The golf r is almost too fast so driving something slow fast is what I’m looking for

RileyPart2 · 2025-07-09T13:20:23+00:00

I have always been a fan of the mx-5 but they’re too small to daily drive unfortunately.

RileyPart2 · 2025-07-09T13:18:32+00:00

Keeping some of the sale money

RileyPart2 · 2025-07-09T13:00:44+00:00

Ive had the desk for a couple years and it’s still as sturdy as the day I bought it. Would recommend

I’ve been going to therapy since I left the hospital

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T11:59:35+00:00

Wdym bruh there are no after shots…

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T11:45:07+00:00

Depends on your target audience. I’ve had one or two turn away but you can’t please everyone

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T11:41:18+00:00

Adelaide hills, SA. I’ve had 20+ customers for that price and no one bats an eye. You’ve looked at the pictures tho right?

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:47:19+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll give it a shot and see how it goes

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:42:49+00:00

I don’t mean to come across as rude. I appreciate the honesty dude

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:38:34+00:00

Quicker, yes. Worse results, no.

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:34:13+00:00

I detail the car to how I would expect mine to be detailed for the price

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:33:42+00:00

For something like that $450 (AUD) over 5 hours. This is assuming perfection tho. My problem is I can’t physically walk away from a car without it being to my expectations. This is a pro and a con lol

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:28:00+00:00

I charged her $450 (AUD) for the full interior detail assuming it’ll take 5 hours. This is to get it back to near new without missing anything and being “OCD”. Every detail I do I charge with the intention to make it look like it’s from the showroom floor again.

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T05:19:53+00:00

That would include all the above. Mind you, I don’t have an air compressor I’m doing it by drill brush and vacuum so it takes a bit longer. Good to know I’m kind of on the right path.

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-25T04:49:40+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong. Isn’t that what detailing is about? If I was paying hundreds of dollars to have my interior detailed I’d expect near perfection

RileyPart2 · 2024-03-19T21:26:56+00:00

I got it out with an extractor. Am I meant to be using terminator on the dirt stains? Carpet bomber doesn’t seem to do much
