Accord CL9 New Owner's Thread

[viking85]

1.Performing throttle body cleaning, fuel injector maintenance and engine oil flush. Couldnt find dedicated throttle body cleaner. Is liquimoly brake and parts cleaner ok? Ive seen people doing it with petrol. I used to do it with petrolon my civic 7th gen.
2. Got the steering and gear wrapped. The guy did a very good job. I am doing a diy on the steering buttons as the silver colour was scuffed and looking bad to my OCD eyes. Will update you guys soon.

People are selling these dvds for around 2000. But it can be bought quite cheaper from rwp saddar. A corner shop was selling it around rs 500. I bought it around 5 months ago.

@usama1 Brother, I asked around. Shields are available. Lemme know if you want em.

I haven't used brake and parts cleaner but best to use a carburetor cleaner if TB cleaner not available.

Whats the polisher you are using , is it a chinese one and cud you kindly tell me its price?

[azfarnb]

Which polisher is this? How much? What's your experience with it so far? I'm in the market for polishers hence asking

[fahdahmad]

I have multiple polishers.

Today I used the Flex pe 14-150 rotary. It's one of the best rotary as it is light weight and has smallform factor. Electronic speed control and low sound. I got mine from the UK via a friend. It's priced around 300 gbp.

[fahdahmad]

Are you planning to get a polisher from abroad or locally? dual action polisher or a rotary?

[usmansameen]

Baby serviced and polished for the holidays:D

[azfarnb]

Abroad and DA. I want to go for a rupes lhr15 mark 2. But I wouldn't mind a felx either. Rupes yahan Tau 70k ka bikta :p. My only problem is shipping and hmm 110 volts too but that is a minor issue.

[azfarnb]

Man you have some awesome polishers.

[fahdahmad]

Do not go for 110v power tools. Tools won't be able to deliver complete power if the converter is not good. Also a converter is generally bulky and it will be a headache to move it around when polishing around the car.

If you plan to detail professionally, then go for Rupes DA. I prefer 21 mm throw as it has more torque. Due to long throw it is challenging to use on certain curves and tight areaa and requires good technique.

If you just plan to be a weekend warrior then go with low cost chinese DAs. Vertool DAS21 is very good. liquidelements also has good DAs.

If you have any other questions just PM me.

[Marschall]

Do keep me in the loop my budget was 25k ,because above that i may aswell buy the Meguairs DA polisher priced 50k

[fahdahmad]

Try to get polisher from Europe or the East. Don't spend 50k on Meg's.

Just PM me if you need guidance.

Will upload the complete pics after installation tomorrow.
Silver colour was scratched and text erased on buttons. Had plenty of options: buying new online or kabli replacement. Thought should give DIY a try first. If it looks okay, may as well stick with it for the time being.
