Hello fellow detailers! You may remember about a week ago I posted results of my first detail with a DA on my old Mazda pickup. I decided this weekend was going to be great weather for detailing my wife's Civic. Let's see how it turned out.....
Wash & Dry:
Dual Buckets
Megs Super Car Wash with fiber mitt
California water blade
Microfiber drying towels
Clay:
Megs clay
Megs QD
Wheels:
Amazing Roll Off
Tire brushes
OTC tire dressing
Paint correction:
GG DA
Megs M105
Wolfgang Swirl Remover 3.0
LSP:
Klasse AIO (not really an LSP, but it's LSP enough for this car)
Other:
Goof Off
MF towels
Black Wow
Glass:
Stoners
On to the pics.....(and sorry for the dirty fingernails - they were cleaned up before returning to work).
The victim: Used and abused 2007 Honda Civic
Front fender popped out. It's been hanging there for about 9 months now.
Uber dirty wheels.
Left over sticker and sticker glue on the HEADLIGHT. Why in God's name would someone put a sticker on a headlight?!
Scratches.
Holograms on trunk.
Scuff marks on trunk.
Some sort of weird, oily goop. I wasn't sure what this was or if it would come off.
After a wash, clay, wash it's looking a lot better. But the oily goo on the fender, the headlight glue residue, and all the other paint problems are still there.
After Goof Off.
Now we're getting somewhere. This pic is after the M105/WGTSR 3.0 and KAIO. I hit the back half of the car with Megs 105 until I ran out. Then I switched over to Wolfgangs Total Swirl Remover. I have to say I prefer the WG over the Megs. They both remove swirls just about the same, but the WG cleans up very easy compared to the Megs. If the M105 dried up it was a real pain in a@@ to clean up, but the WG cleaned up very easy.
After ARO.
Shiny and slick after the paint correction and Klasse.
No more holograms.
Scuff free trunk.
No more oily fender. The clay did nothing to the oily stuff, but the WG took it right off.
Happy shiny trunk.
The fixed fender and a reflection of my sneaker.
Black Wow put the pop back in the trim, but that stuff is really greasy itself. I got some on the paint and it was a bear to clean off. Not the products fault, but I'm going to get some small applicator brushes next time to put this stuff on.
All done! Well, I didn't get to the inside (except the windows).
