I usually detail friends sports cars that are pretty dam nice already when they come to me.

Today I detailed a girls beatup honda civic. It was alot of work and not worth it if it wasn't for the alterior motives. :D

But it was kind of rewarding to see something so bad and when I was done it looks like a different car. One thing I discovered was using the clay bar to get stuff off wheels amongst other places. Wheel cleaners didn't work and I didn't want to use anything harsher. I used a whole bar getting all the goo off.

I would have to say the biggest improvement was the door jams and front bumper. They look like I repainted them.

One thing I couldn't seem to get looking good was the steering wheel. It was chalky white residue that didn't come off. Any ideas what could remove that?
 
Pictures, please....of the girl AND the car, thanks.
 
The #1 rule in every deatilng forum is that when you post about doing something to a car, you MUST post pictures.
 
Yeah, post some pics of the girl so we can decide if it was worth it or not.
