My 2000 RD1 suffers from crusty trim, I'll try this. I'm finally working on the cosmetics since the vehicle has practically been rebuilt, thanks to many of your videos. It runs like a champ.

This is what I was looking for. I want to do this on my crv. Just wasn't sure what to use. Great video 👍

Last month, I restored my 1999 Cr-v trim and bumpers by scuffing the plastic with Scotch brite red , wiped it down with windex then rolled Rustoleum gloss black. Great results. For the headlights, I used Mothers mag polish applied with a Mr. Clean Magic eraser. Sealed clarity with a 3M clear coat wet nap. Follow up every couple of weeks with Maguires plastic polish. I live in an apartment building so spray painting in the parking lot is absolutely out of the question. If I could slow down the rust on Cr-v but otherwise, the 99 turned out to be fun to drive after major mechanical reconditioning which took me almost one year to get this up to good shape.

I’ll tell you when I use on my CRV to keep the black looking beautiful, boiled, linseed oil, put it on, then go back five minutes later and wipe it off,last six months to a year

brilliant, actually just the info I needed. I was going to grab a new bumper because an accident left it lightly scratched up. aging lightened the color too. I might try this out instead and call it a day

Excellent job.

Nice truck..

great video. just got my 97's bumpers and trim done and it came out great. been thinking about taking my crv to the elements on the dragon event. wish they had a crv event but oh well.

Restored all the trim on my 99 with a heat gun looks brand new

Appreciate this a lot. On my old CRV for the headlight covers I tried "GOOF OFF Pro Strength Remover" and it actually dissolved the plastic and wiped down, while still wet, then dried in a minute or so to crystal clear. Must use a lot relatively and keep it wet allover to dissolve evenly or I get streaks and dry spots. Don't know how long it will last but it is not a coating that can deteriorate over time. We'll see how long it will last. Just FYI.

I noticed you have a rooftop tent. Is the rack strong enough to support sleeping up there? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Is there a vid where you fit that k-series motor in that 1st gen? Transmission etc

Do a video on the driver door actuator replacement please ???

How'd you cover and tape the door to do the trim? I was thinking of laying over a sheet of black plastic bag and cutting out the part over the trim, then taping the bag edges to the door. Thanks!

I found this video looking for a how-to remove the bumper. I bought my 2000 automatic RD2 (wish I’d found a manual RD1) recently with damage to the bumper and rear. Any advice on what to do about a slightly-dinged-into-the-door spare tire? Door opens and seals well (that I can tell), spare tire cover is just a tad hard to slide in and out on the bottom.

Hey, that’s on my checklist! Just finished sourcing some more 5 speed parts and I’m nearing the finish line. I know you said you’ve 5speed swapped these plenty of times. Just curious outside of pulling the key lock plug on the dash harness does everything else function well enough to run the Auto dash harness on a swap? I really want this to function as if it came from the factory as a 5 speed car I don’t want a bunch of wiring gremlins.

Hey man ! I’ve been watching your videos on honda civics and they are very informative and straight forward.I need an urgent advice from you,I currently own a 2004 Honda civic Ex 4d sedan with 180,000miles on it,I bought it used at 176,500 miles on it and it is driving very well .I just checked my transmission fluid level today and it is below the two hash marks on the dip stick.Internet is blowing my mind when i search for tranny fluid change but i am confused if i should drain it and fill it up or just top it off with without draining it.What would you suggest would changing it with new fluid could damage the transmission?Please so help me.

I need your opinion for my 97 crv. My trims are crusty white. The oem paint is gray like in this video. I was thinking with going with black. What’s your thoughts on it

Hey Thanks! I'm gonna try this! Quick question, When I open my 2000 CRV hood and listen to the engine. There is a clicking sound. Is that normal?

Question, Did you bother taking the fender trims and door trims off to paint em? 6:45

How many cans did you use for the entire car?

How many cans did you need?
