    Honda Civic Hybrid just detailed
    It was referred to me by my good friend, 2 months old, 1 careful driver, but was knocked by a motorcyclist ...urgh..
    car looks cool, but under the sun, RIDs appears here & there, some minor scratches on the driver side doors & passenger lower doors (till i point out to the owner)

    This was the 4th/5 rides i detailed, thru out 4 days of break (wash another 3) .......everyone think i am car crazy...but i just cant stand doing nothing other than starring at dirty rides.....while having a stay over at my bro place....hand polished his whole car, didn't thought of writing up (should have taken pics) 3 longs hours....didnt had a Meguiars stuff, took his bottle of Soft 99 polish cream & scrub through the whole car (full of marks & scratches) Now my arm is feeling like Arnold Schwarzenegger
    What i did : in 5 hours
    2 bucket wash
    APC for wheels, arches with many brushes

    Wipe down & Gold class for interior
    Gold class TAR remover

    Clayed with mild clay & Last touch
    M 80 with CCS Polishing pad/9227
    M 80 with CCS finishing pad/ROB
    NXT by hand/TLC
    UQD to finish
    1st time seeing Hybrid engine, hard to believe, u cant hear the engine cranking sound & idling too. the moment you depress the brakes, the engine stops & its on electric motor. the moment you go down from a sloop the engine will recharges itself . electric power assist engine....1300 cc on Fuel & 500 cc on electric.....its hype thing in Malaysia now

    No engine detailing was done due to the shortage of time


    The Honda Civic Hybrid is a hybrid powertrain version of the Honda Civic sedan. Honda continuously variable transmission and Integrated Motor Assist hybrid system thus creating a first fuel-efficient hybrid sedan in its model lineup with some styling differences between the USDM and JDM models. Due to a delay in rolling out the second generation, the first generation Civic Hybrid selling slowly in malaysia for a price tag of RM 129,000
    lower front skirting was knocked away by a motorcycle & mark left behind



    the owner didn't even realized there is a scratches & marks




    closer pics


    closer pics

    all the above is from My camera for after shot pics shot by another camera


    Gold class Tar remover at work


    new found souvenir


    Pics before details, stained door


    Stains removed


    Tatata the final results

    suddenly the pearl re-appears again...feeling like Capt Jack Sparrow again


    I just love The depth


    the Last time that the owner saw this glow was the day he got his rides, 2 months ago & he is smiling away to see his babes glowings










    Buffing off NXT

    Applying UQD
    final inspections

    final inspection - it was close to 8.30pm (as i am fighting against my Fatigue & hunger)





    Hybrid



    mamamia


    the owner is happy to re gain his chariot glows again



    i can see the smiles on the owner face, ease off all my muscle aches








    I just dont know why but i just love looking at bumper slides area




    I never expect 5 hours on such a new ride, but as i looked back i miss every moment & encounters (challenge) that brought smile to owner as his rides glaze again


    after this, went to eat my dinner & had a quick bath...off i go to detail my own ride till 12.30am (prior in detailing this I actually hands polished on a Proton Persona who was badly deserted by he owner, causing both my arms & shoulders sores till today)



    Once again thanks for taking your precious time & effort in viewing my Art
    Comment & feedback is highly appreciated & treasured.

                              Thanks Eddie
                              Careful & very careful.....too sensitive...soft.....esp dark colours
                              I like honda's paint alot...although knowing the problem of it
                              soft & very delicate...since it is a RAW mixes paint...the colour some how outstands itself from others...the glossy look is easily achieve with #80

                              Pearl white my favourite......

                              P/s i dun why so many honda came looking for me :-) i want ferrari's n lambo's
