Got the passenger rear wheel and wheel well cleaned up on sunday. Same process, some steaming to loosen the dirt and grime, and then alot of scrubbing and cleaning. I feel like it could get cleaner, but i need to use the power washer when it is a bit warmer! Anyways, here are the pics!

What product(s) are being leveraged for cleaning the plastics? I'm a big fan of this two products:

I should have been saying what i am using, good call. For now i am steaming, then some watered down Purple Power cleaner, then i dry it and then i use some black plastic renew stuff from amazon, but i think it is rebranded tire shine lol

Thanks for sharing all of this. The tips and methods inspire me with my project 97R restoration.
Good luck! I'm a huge fan of that generation Civic Si and almost bought one new in 2000.

I don’t think direct post of embedded video is supported. You’d need another host such as Vimeo.
You used to be able to post to a video site and Tapatalk would pick up a url and display the video. This doesn’t seem to be working for me lately but unsure if it’s something different with tapatalk or Vimeo.

Jay regularly updates the forum code for patches, but we’re limited to the code’s feature set. The TapaTalk app (sadly) adds features such as URL previews where as the forum’s web code is lacking.
