    I'm be honest watching sanding is boring BUT watching time lapse of your sanding work would be awesome ur a big inspiration to me man

    Thank you for this video. I have a 1991 CRX HF and bought your decal . I followed your video and was a bit scared of wet sanding taillights never done in my life bought got amazing results. Another fact my 199I garnish looks just like the one you restored but the CRX was painted on original with a mold of CRX which made it easier to apply your decal without measuring. Hondas have been in my family since the 1977cvcc civic my grandpa's car then my Grandpa bought a new 1986 CRX I was 7 remember riding in the back as child getting car sick . Years later my Uncle had one he bought kept in garage for 12 years and rather buy a new car I restored her new thanks to your videos man long live the CRX and keep them on the road .

    I took a razor blade and trimmed the old plastic coating off of my hatch trim. Then I covered it with some satin black vinyl. It turned out nice. I left mine on, didn't want to break the clips. Hope this helps.

    • @crxseth
      @crxseth  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the input. I tried to scrape it off with a razor, but many parts are really stuck and haven’t deteriorated so it wasn’t going to be easy to remove that way. Too bad they don’t still sell these pieces.

    I'm not sure about that particular glass cleaner, but often they have ammonia which can outgas under the decal or even chemicals to seal the surface which may cause it to fail prematurely.
    Stick with isopropyl alcohol or a wax and grease removal product.

    • @TonyYuuki
      @TonyYuuki 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can agree with you there but Ive been told by body shop painters that that Glass cleaner is the best to use to clean surfaces do it it being ammonia free and being purely water based which is a plus

I'm wondering which type of socket you used to hook up the fog light since our harnesses did not come with the plug for the fog light. Di u get an aftermarket or oem? Please if you can tell me that would help me a lot!. Keep up the good work ,I hope one day I can meet you in person so you can see we share the same feelings for this cars..saludos!!!

    How much of a difference does the 3m machine polish make? Its quite expensive, but I do want my crx tailights to look mint..

    • @crxseth
      @crxseth  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It removed the fine scratches and swirls from the buffing compound. There are probably cheaper options that will work. The Ultrafine Machine Polish is mainly for black or dark paints since you need to remove every small scratch or they will be visible.You can use any polishing compound designed for car paint.

    To get that Black Trim off the Tailgate really needs to be off, if your careful then with screw driver you can pop it off clips while pushing tab in a bit so they don't break, My next nightmare is Tailgate, it sits to high on right side and it sticks out past rear quarter, where hinge bolts on the metal has pulled out so hinge raised, so annoying as tailgate decent condition
