My first Before and After....

[Jake11375]

I`ve been a member here for a few years and I must say one of the features I love most about Autopia are the before and afters. Well, we had a little snow here last week and my car got filthy dirty. :idea So, I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to do my first before and after. (hopefully many more to come) Just a simple wash and wax nothing dramatic. Anywho, here it is...



Process:

Wash with Meg`s Deep Crystal

Simple green on wheels, tires

Rinse

Dry with microfiber

Meg`s Cleaner wax

Top with Meg`s #26

Second to last pic you may notice a difference in the front fender. It is unpainted. A hit and run in Home Depot parking lot. :wall So I have the panel on but needs to be painted. Most people can`t tell unless I point it out to them. I keep it waxed and polished up.

Great job! :getdown



Not necessary to label before and after pics. :D

[Zerrus]

VERY clean Civic. I wish more people around here had the same taste you do.

[Mad iX]

Is that deep or what?!

Very nice looking black car. I like how the wheels give it that stealth look.

[Scottwax]

That is a really good looking Civic!



Interesting product choice too, cleaner wax topped with a wax. :)

[gav'spurplez]

perfect "1st"



gotta love filthy befores and deep afters

[klnyc]

wow nice EG.

Great job!

Thanks for the kind words fellas. Scott, Meg`s cleaner wax suprisingly does very well at bringing out the flakes and depth from dark metallic paint. By itself, it attracts too much dust and doesn`t bead for too long. #26 seems to help with that.
