2017 Honda Civic Touring Edition
Cosmic Blue Metallic

18,000 miles
1.4 liter turbo 4 cylinder
174HP/162 TQ
28mpg city/42mph highway!




This is a new client’s wife’s car. He wanted it ‘shined up’!

The paint was in good condition, just some hard water spots, minor marring/swirls and a couple of scratches, and it was very dirty.
It received a minor correction and a ceramic coating. The metallic is really popping now and it is good looking daily driver!



The ‘details’:

Washed with SCG Pro shampoo and MF mitt.
Wheels cleaned with Sonax wheels cleaner.
Tires cleaned with Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Wheels sealed with McKee’s37 Hydro Blue.
Bugs sprayed with Kenotek Anti-Insect.
Heavy dirt areas sprayed with Adam’s APC.
Clayed with Griot’s medium mitt.
Engine bay cleaned with Adam’s APC.
Flex XFE15.
Misc. foam pads.
Polish Angel Invincible primer.
Misc. MF towels.
Gtechniq EXO was the LSP.
McKee’s37 High Gloss tire dressing.
SCG Pro glass cleaner.
Metro vacuum.
Adam’s quick interior detailer.


Thanks for looking!

Love that color! Did you not dress the front black plastics? Also, I notice you almost never use microfiber pads and was curious what your thoughts are on that? I've only used them once and compared to the foam ones I originally was using, the microfiber pads worked FAR better.

Thanks pauly!

black92: I did. I coated them. However, they were stained with something that I could not remove. The owner took it to a car wash and they used something to remove bugs or something, I'm willing to bet it was acid based, and it stained the front trim.

I do use them, and wool, when necessary. I will use them when I need to step up my cutting power.
