Pictures of my First Wax on my Old Paint.

Ok here is a few pictures of my Car after a good wash and wax trying to get the shine out of this old paint. Beside that I hope I can clean my engine bay well, and fix all this oil leaks. Hopefully hook up the engine by little by little. I do want to take some nice picture of her somewhere cool. I just haven't found a great location yet.







Enjoy the Pictures.

Looks great. Nice job waxing her up. That paint still has a lot of life left in it if you ask me. I've seen much worse than that. That interior is a 10/10. Keep up the good work.

The Interior most of it is original except the door panel, sits and digital clock. I change the door panel from the broken black leather panels that it had before. The digital clock is alot better than the stock clock since i can see it better at night when driving. So, some parts have been change by me so thats about it. Beside that I will have to look into the folder to find out if the 2 previous owner have made any changes before I got the car as far as interior go.

LOL!, it would be nice doing that but I think this pain is not in such a great shape for me to go spending 100 dollars buffing it. Unless,.... damn it you got me thinking now.

Thanks! Everyone for your compliments. I really think having one of those dewalt buffer would kick a$$. I would sure love to own one of those and truly give a real wax to the car.

Here is a picture of the engine bay so far been trying to clean it well and remove all that old dirt and oil from the bay.



Nother picture here on the day I took it to the 2005 Second Annual Rx7Club BBQ. Gave her a small wax touch again before driving down to the park.



By the way is there a cheaper maching that I can buy that will do as close of a good job as the dewalt buffer?

not really the reason being the one you can buy @ walmart or pep boys does not have adjustable speeds ..the dewalt does and that is the beauty of it..if you buy one be very careful i would even suggest practiving on project vehicle(not running anytime soon)thats what i did..the dewalt biffers are used by body shops

well you dont buy just the buffer, you need the compounds, the 3 pads, plus a polishing pad, and waxes and polishes. not cheap. i would take it to somebody who knows what theya re doing. and take those american muscle car tires off ur rims... my dad runs those on his nova

Props man! WOW!!! That is amazing... I do agree... buff that bitch out... Hell... go to Autozone and buy yourself a buffer for 30 bucks and do it yourself...It will take longer...but it will make it look so much deeper! Good luck! Buff it and post more pics! Keep up the great work!

Thanks guys! well you know I do like those Letter tires on my car, I mean is an old car. LOL! I remember growing up in Puerto Rico and seeing this cars with white letter tires and bigger than what I have on it. However, I will remove them once I have better rims that can go with low profile tires that have strong walls. For now this will do since they last a good 50K miles on them.

I think the car looks great and I don’t know why everyone is telling you to spend big bucks to make it look better, its not like it's some custom show car that needs to be perfect. It’s a great looking stock 7 with great looking stock paint with a great looking home done wax job. I wish my car had paint to wax...lol. I also love the white letter tires and the next time I buy tires I think I will try to get those just because they look so good on your car. Like said before in interior is a 10 out of 10, don’t **** it up or I will kill you.

Keep up the little mods, I love when people try to keep it sort of stock but update the out of date stuff like that clock.
