  • Amazing 2004 Honda Civic Makeover

    Well the weather was perfect today so I thought I should head over to the parents house because the step fathers 2004 Civic was just making me angry with all the scratches and swirl marks.

    This was a huge improvement here is the process.

    1) Wash with NXT Tech Was
    2) Clay the hood, trunk and other really dull areas
    3) M83 with 8006 at 5000RPMs
    4) M83 with 8006 at 5000RPMs
    5) Gold Class Wax with 9006 and 3000RPMS

    Take a look at the photo's the sun moved so I had a hard time getting a good shot for before and afters.

    You can see the line on the trunk where I had the tape to see the results.

    Holy Swirls! the whole car was this or worse!!!! now you see why I needed to come over and detail this!


    Rings and Finger Nails under and above the handel, these were a lot worse in person


    Trunk after 1 work in with M83 at 5000RPMS on the right, wash and clay on the left.


    After I was done you can see got 80%-90% of the scratches out!


    Great shot, should have taken a before this was all haze from millions of fine scratches, its a mirror now


    No more swirls, to bad the sun moved


    So I took one of the other side which was just as bad


    5 Hours later its done and looks amazing


    After doing all this for the step father I left him with NXT Tech wash, 2 new wash mits and two buckets, and explained the wash process, he could not be happier. I told him if he keeps washing it right I will come over once a month and apply a new coat of wax for him

                        Car looks great, you did an awesome job. I must agree that you should try some #21, it's extremely durable as far as LSP products go.
