First '08 Habanero Red Civic Si Sedan

So this is my 1 week old beauty...here's the process and products I used....

Wash with Schmitt GS with CG Wash and Gloss via Foam Gun
Clay with CG Blue clay and Luber clay lube
Wash again with Schmitt GS and CG Wash and Closs via Foam Gun
CG Pro-Polish on blue pad via UDM
Menzerna PO85RD on gray pad via UDM
Danase Wet Glaze on red pad via UDM
CG JetSeal 109 on red pad via UDM
CG Wet Mirror Finish on blue pad via UDM
CG 50/50 wax with MF applicator

The wheels were cleaned with S100 and then dressed with CG Wheel Guard.
The tires were dressed with HT Grape and the wheel wells were dressed with CG Bare Bones.

Interior was just a wet MF towel.


It has an amazing pop and wet look to it! Too bad the sun was pretty much down when I took these pictures but I'll take more tomorrow and post them!

Looks good!

I've never been a fan of any civic, but I have to say, the new ones are pretty handsome!

I wish I could say I noticed a difference but I can't. I think the red is the same material as the blue just a different color, I could be wrong tho. The black actually worked out really well with the Menz on the soft clear this car has. I actually got a good amount of correction with pro polish and the blue pad, lol

I might do each one little by little starting with the lip, I love how inexpensive they are and they come painted
