Here is my 1990 Eagle Talon TSi finally! All this was achieved by painting the whole car ofcourse, and then polishing it by machine with Poorboys and topping it off with an amazing wax called Zaino. Take note I removed my spoiler. All the holes were welded shut.

BTW, the engine was degreased with this amazing stuff called Zep, and then pressure washed.

Looks great man now just rip off that valve cover, heatshields, and a few bracks out of there and get them painted, the rust makes it look worse than it really is. Get your valve cover powdercoated the same color as your car it makes it look really nice. Or you could go all black like me :cool: the ricer's think your stock if they don't see the bling :rolleyes:

Looks good, but could be alot better. What "machine" are you using to apply the products?


It actually looks a lot better in person...I think it's the camera. I'm using a PC rotary. I am not a noob to detailing either. Thanks for the comment.
 
When you pressure wash the engine bay what exactly did you cover up? Just curious because I could really use a good cleaning under the hood.
 
Washing your engine is the ANTICHRIST !!!! cover up as many electrical parts as possible. For example;distributor,coil pack,alternator etc,etc.I personally avoid this unless i really have to do it.As a matter of fact i didn't do it to any cars that came to the shop i use to work at,after a couple of bad experiences like,failing spark plug wires,distributors going bad,and last but not leas an ignition module,this is why i don't wash my engine,luckily,the previous owner of my car did it for me and i just wipe it down about once a month.Oh and 604,congrats on your car,it looks so damm clean!!!

Thanks man!

And about washing your engine bay...I have never ever covered up anything while washing engine bays. The trick is to avoid spraying electricals too much and blow the engine dry with pressurized air, especially the alternator. BTW, check your spark plug holes for water.

just doesn't look wet enough. Zaino is good, but not for all colors. Ever try #16? or S100?

this is from: PoorBoys Polish -> PoorBoys EXP -> #16, all by hand.
