Finally got my iPhoto to work, so here's some pics I took of my 2014 Honda Civic LX in Modern Steel Metallic.


Process:

Interior got glass cleaned, plastics protected with UIGP, and carpet and upholstery got CarPro Cquartz Fabric and Leather Coating

Wash with Duragloss #902, 2BM, microfiber wash mitt
CarPro Spotless on exterior glass (due to some water spotting on glass)
IronX Lemon scent
Clay with Dodo Juice clay and DJ Born Slippy
Blackfire Wet Diamond paint sealant
CarPro Hydro2 on wheel covers, fender wells, and the front grille
BF tire gel on tires
Aquapel on windshield
Griot's Garage Glass sealant on side and rear glass and side mirrors



Post PDI inspection

Thanks for looking! :xyxthumbs:
 
Congrats on the new ride!! Did the dealer hook you up on the tires or something?? I just don't understand why not ride them out for a year or 2.

The car came with Firestone Affinity tires on it (which I suspected it would). From the reviews I read on it, it really was not that great of a tire, specifically with regard to ride and traction in inclement weather. By swapping them out, I got (some) credit for the old tires (I think about $300), and only paid a difference of about $230 (including mount and balance) plus tax for a set of Michelin tires. If I were to wait a year or two, I wouldn't get credit for the old tires and would have to pay full price for a set of tires, which seemed silly to me.
 
Congrats! My friend has a 2012 Coupe in that color and it's so nice looking when it's polished and waxed.
 
Some more pictures. These were after a waterless wash with PB Spray N Wipe and a coat of Blackfire Midnight Sun.
