Hey guys, i'm a VERY proud owner of a White 92 MX-3. Ever since i got it (since the car is so hot anyway) all i wanted to do is make it look even better. This is probably a very stupid question but do any of you have any quick and easy ways to make the car shimmer and shine without a new paint job? I want to see my reflection in the car.

And don't forget to wax it. Ask around for some good waxes.

I would get that Prolong paint sealant s---. It's like a perma-wax. Think about it. Wax is only good up to like 80°F. On a winter day, the sun can still heat your hood above 80° and on a summer day it can get up to like 150°F. I'd look into a good paint sealant. Prolong is a great one.

Pat's power polishing is really good and he will give you a good price and he comes right to your house to do it I got it done by him last year before powerama it looked awsome.

Just ask a paint shop to apply a few layers of clear coat....Clear coat is what makes the paint shine. With a few new layers, you'll get the look just as new. It's not hard nor very expensive. Get a good brand like Dupont [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Go to your local car parts store and ask if they have a clay bar. It is this chunk of clay and some spray on type material. Takes all of the nasty stuff off the paint and you can see a big difference in the color. Takes a long time though
