    Honda Civic

    2017 Honda Civic Touring Edition
    Cosmic Blue Metallic
    18,000 miles
    1.4 liter turbo 4 cylinder
    174HP/162 TQ
    28mpg city/42mph highway!





    This is a new client’s wife’s car. He wanted it ‘shined up’!

    The paint was in good condition, just some hard water spots, minor marring/swirls and a couple of scratches, and it was very dirty.
    It received a minor correction and a ceramic coating. The metallic is really popping now and it is good looking daily driver!



    The ‘details’:

    Washed with SCG Pro shampoo and MF mitt.
    Wheels cleaned with Sonax wheels cleaner.
    Tires cleaned with Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
    Wheels sealed with McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
    Bugs sprayed with Kenotek Anti-Insect.
    Heavy dirt areas sprayed with Adam’s APC.
    Clayed with Griot’s medium mitt.
    Engine bay cleaned with Adam’s APC.
    Flex XFE15.
    Misc. foam pads.
    Polish Angel Invincible primer.
    Misc. MF towels.
    Gtechniq EXO was the LSP.
    McKee’s37 High Gloss tire dressing.
    SCG Pro glass cleaner.
    Metro vacuum.
    Adam’s quick interior detailer.


    Thanks for looking!

    Sizzle Chest:
    Did the hard water spots come off with the clay mitt or when it is polished??
    I was always under the assumption that hard water spots required some type of mineral deposit removal chemical.

    By the way, it is nice to see a Honda Civic daily-driver get the same treatment as bazillion dollar Porsches and Ferraris you detail and look just as nice!!! (Although the carpet nap was kinda short to adequately show your signature vacuum striping!)

    Re: Honda Civic

    Looks great, I`m looking to re-polish my 15 Accord with a metallic grey paint, looking for a solid one step, haven`t used PA polish yet would you recommend that over anything else?

    Also the black "matte" trim panels, what did you do there? Mine have some spots just need to be cleaned up.
