Recently had a customer bring in a 2008 Civic EX NHBP
car was in pretty bad shape. After taking measurements of the paint, if safe enough to compound the paint. Was getting average readings of 4.5-6 mils
One fender got replaced had 20mils of paint on it which is not uncommon.
Customer Also requested the engine bay to be degreased and dressed up. Also the headlights to be restored. Front carpets were extracted from stains and protected for future spills.
