I’ve used a clay bar kit on my 03 Accord EXV6 Sedan and I have to say its one of the Best paint care products I have ever used. its makes the paint sooo smooth and takes the roughness out of paint if you have any. The kit was from Meguiar’s. I don’t think it well damage clear coat. Unless its peeling off then it is a possibly it well remove the clear coat.
I’m going to remove my Entire Interior front seat rear seats floor carpet trunk covers panels trunk carpet. And do a complete inspection under the car for any corrosion. has anyone who has the same year model trim of this vehicle ever found this on there car.

well I removed my rear pillars along with the roof lining and well… the worst I have suspected its not the drain tubes are leaking those are not the issue. it appears that my front windshield seal is leaking.And to make things even worse. the rear windshield is leaking also but that’s not even the worse part yet. I found small surface rust on the corners between the chassis the plates that are spot welded of Both sides of the rear windows right where the Chassis of the car is. Its bad I can’t believe this is happening I removed it with my nail. so its not to severe but its there. at least I caught it now rather than a few years from now where it could get worse. I’m going to get some Denatured Alcohol and some Q-tips and a Tooth brush and see if I can remove the surface rust. And remove the Rear Windshield assembly to get in there and see what else is going on Unbelievable I inherit this Vehicle and I get this problem Damn I used to think Honda’s And Acura’s where immortal from Rust I guess I was wrong.

I don’t consider my self a novice actually more a intermediate person when it comes to Automotive Technology I learned a lot from my dad before he passed away. so He explained a lot about the Honda J series engine. specially this one so I know what to expect from adjusting the valves if I mess up which will not happen. And I have done valve adjustments on 4Cylinder engines before the K series engine. I do have to say it was a lot easier to do because I don’t have to remove so much to get to the valves and adjusting them. only 16 vs 24 so yea. But that L4 engine had over 195K miles on it.
Its just the concern about my engine being 135K on it. And has never had a valve Adjustment done on it so I’m looking in to it. But Thank You for the information you truly are the Greatest Automotive Technician there is Eric. I’ll report back on what I find but first I’m still working on fixing the Roof lining leak I Have starting to think it isn’t the Drain tube.I don’t consider my self a novice actually more a intermediate person when it comes to Automotive Technology I learned a lot from my dad before he passed away. so He explained a lot about the Honda J series engine. specially this one so I know what to expect from adjusting the valves if I mess up which will not happen.

But I have seen some people on another forum replace them. In fact I was going to replace mine on my 03 Accord but decided not to because you have to take off this plate that houses the ATF filter and to me it difficult to get to so didn’t go though with it. But you can if you want to I don’t see any harm it could cause. It might be better to change it if you can because I know the ATF filter gets clogged with metal shavings and dirt. Also there’s not really a Interval for it cause Honda say’s it will last the life of the Transmission which I doubt that.

I have had the Honda Factory service Manuals for quite some time now and that I follow them exactly how there are written. the only reason is that I’m just doing the Valve Adjustment to help smooth out my cars idle. Also I have been knowing that one of the camshafts Timing marks specially on the rear bank is off half a tooth. But it was like that way before the dealership did my Timing belt. So I don’t worry about that. its just the crankshaft pulley is off but I look in to it and see what I find. Thanks for the reply

I’m probably going to do the valve Adjustment on my car before It hit’s 140,000 miles. Because I don’t want it to go that long with out one. Even though I have seen some Honda J series V6 engines go with out a valve Adjustment for along time. so I’m going to remove the Crankshaft pulley and check to see if the Crankshaft pulley Timing marks line up with the Marks on the oil pump. When I put the engine At TDC. like I said before I rotated the engine following firing order and it was lining up with each mark on the front camshaft sprocket. so I know That’s where it supposed to be. It’ just the crankshaft pulley timing marks that where off completely. so Ill remove it to verify if at least the crankshaft sprocket is lined up. so I can have more peace of mind when I do the adjustment. Thought I would give a update to this thread.
