    Honda Civic Type S

    This was booked in for a 1 day Enhancement Detail which consists of just a single stage machine polish. On the soft Honda paint this did a great job of clearly up the swirls and some of the scratches present resulting in about 90% correction leaving behind just some deeper random scratches

    First up wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned using Billberry and Megs Super Degreaser


    Vehicle was then given a foam with a citrus degreaser and worked into all badges and panel gaps and pressure rinsed off




    I then proceeed to wash the car using Megs Shampoo Plus and a merino wool mitt. vehicle was then clayed with Sonus green and Megs last Touch as lube






    Vehicle was then pressure rinsed off again and dryed using a Sonus drying towel


    paint measurements were taken and vehicle was then machine polished using Menz 106ff












    Front wing had a scratch which was wet sanded using 4000 Abralon pad






    After all machine polishing was complete i went around vehicle with Dodo Lime Prime in preparation for first coat of Dodo Supernatural. This was left to cure for half hour whilst i dressed engine bay with 303 aerospace and treated exterior trim to Swissvax nano Express.


    First coat of wax was buffed off and a hour later a second coat was applied and whilst this cured tyres were dressed with Zaino 16 and wheels protected with Zaino CS

    Few finished pics after vehicle given a wipedown with Zaino Z8




























    Thanks for looking

    That`s way more futuristic-looking than the ho-hum model we get here in the States! Nice work.

    Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.

    Gleaming.....where are you from, I think I have only seen one detail where it was partly sunny. Reminds me of the old movies based in Ireland or England where everything is dark, cloudy and damp.
