#51 of 13114 Hot air continued by notm Jul 08, 2000 (1:13 am)
Auburn, Right, I know that the air passes over the engine, just like almost all other autos. this air is warmer than any car that I've ever driven or ridden in. Also other cars do not require BLASTING the AC on HIGH to cool things down. The fan is annoying. I don't even like AC but it is my only choice to cool the car down. I do all those steps you described in post #39 thanks for the input!!! Accord owners--any similar hot air?
#52 of 13114 notm-hot air by silvercoupe Jul 08, 2000 (2:24 am)
I am able to cool my car down pretty quick by setting the fan to level 3, window cracked and air set to fresh air (ac on, of course). I run it like this for about 3-5 minutes to blow out the superheated air then switch to recirculate and turn the fan to level 2. Works pretty good for me. When I left work today it was 96 degrees and I was able to cool the car down with no problems. Of course your car is black so it gets hotter inside than mine does. May take longer to cool down initially, but should stay cool after that. You may want to check the temp of the air coming out of your vents to be sure that the ac is cooling properly. Auburn63 mentioned in an earlier post what that temp should be--around 55 degrees I think???

I went back and found Auburn63's post on the temp from the center vent--Post #27. Temp should be around 45 degrees at idle.
#54 of 13114 A/C by adg44 Jul 08, 2000 (3:28 am)
The dealer told me that Honda had a problem with the A/C blowing somewhat warm air. I dunno. Mine really doesn't get cold unless you put it to 60 degrees and drive a lot. It doesn't bother me though, I rarely ever use the A/C. - Anthony

I'll let you know what Honda says next week about the air.
#56 of 13114 Rattle by adg44 Jul 09, 2000 (3:43 am)
Does anyone else have a rattle coming from the center dashboard near the two center air vents?? It's pretty loud, so if you have it, I doubt you wouldn't be able to hear it. It first sounded like it was coming from the glove box, so I took everything out of there and the rattle didn't go away. Then I put me ear up to the vent (yes, while I was driving! Hey, it was 11:00 at night and no one else was on the road) and I heard it from around there. Anyone else have this problem?? - Anthony
#57 of 13114 Good Wax/Cleaner by terminalis Jul 10, 2000 (6:22 pm)
This is not a problem, so I don't know if I'm in the right forum. But, I know there are a few car enthusiasts here, so let me ask you folks some questions. I use Mother's liquid wax (often) and Maguire's cleaner wax (once in a while) for my accord. The problem is they don't last long enough. After like two washings, wax is gone. Do you know any good wax that lasts? Also, I'd like to get more shine. IMO, they don't really give good shine. I wax my accord every two weeks or even more often. Waxing is fun, but I think wax should last at least one month. Any suggestions?
#58 of 13114 terminalis by adg44 Jul 10, 2000 (11:16 pm)
The wax isn't really gone in two weeks, just the smooth feeling is. The water will still bead for about another two months or so. If you want the best wax that'll make your surface smooth like glass, and will make the paint look deep and glossy, it all comes down to Zymol. You can pick up the Zymol Cleaner Wax for about $12 for 16 ounces at Super Trak, Walmart, Target, etc. It is consumer rated #1, and I believe that it is the best wax in the world. - Anthony
#59 of 13114 Long lasting wax by silvercoupe Jul 11, 2000 (3:04 am)
For a long lasting shine, use NuFinish. I waxed my Coupe with it in March, and water still beads on the surface. Others may shine better, but NuFinish lasts longer. My 2 cents worth.

Might suggest you go to www.carcareonline.com. Lots of great car care info there. After I studied their line of waxes, I settled on the "Blitz" wax. It is by far the best / easiest I have ever used (and oh what a shine). All the other products purchased from them worked exactly as they described, and I had them delivered to my door in about 2-3 days. Don't mean to sound like a info-mercial, but when I find something good I like to share it. Good luck. Replies to this message: totree (Jan 16, 2005 9:57 am)
