Awesome work on that terribly neglected Civic! Love the dog too...
Great job.
 
Wow looks like a brand new car! Great resurrection Andrew!
 
Makes me miss my old '07 Si! Great job on bringing this one back to life!
 
u swapped out the car for a new one right?! lol nice job bro! love the dog too!
 
I really appreciate it when someone goes the extra mile to correct a white car. most people give up after they see their polishing pads turning white.

But as you have shown, white can show some of the best results ever.

Extra props for taking the wing off. It's really worth the extra effort.:props:

thanks. the wing had to come off. i can explan my wet hand compiounding method if you wish. ask nicely tee hee.

heres some feedback my customer posted a few weeks ago on a local car forum.


This is my car and it looks amazing afterwards. The before was from about 1.5 years of build up from not washing it.
About the rear bumper, unfortunately I got rear ended and the shop obviously sucked at color matching and at the time, the car was dirty and was less noticeable. Now it bothers every time i see it so I will repaint it when i get the chance. As for wheels, it'll remain as I put my 18" hfp on my tsx.

Thanks andrew. Ill try not to let it get as bad again.

thanks guys!
 
Simply OUTSTANDING!

Looks amazing, as usual! One question, did I read right that you compounded by hand?
