    This was booked in for a 1 day Enhancement Detail which consists of just a single stage machine polish. On the soft Honda paint this did a great job of clearly up the swirls and some of the scratches present resulting in about 90% correction leaving behind just the deeper scratches

    First up wheels, tyres and arches were cleaned using Billberry and Megs Super Degreaser

    Vehicle was then given a foam with a citrus degreaser and worked into all badges and panel gaps and pressure rinsed off

    I then proceeed to wash the car using Megs Shampoo Plus and a merino wool mitt. vehicle was then clayed with Sonus green and Megs last Touch as lube

    After all machine polishing was complete i went around vehicle with Dodo Lime Prime in preparation for first coat of Dodo Supernatural. This was left to cure for half hour whilst i dressed engine bay with 303 aerospace and treated exterior trim to Swissvax nano Express. [​IMG]

    First coat of wax was buffed off and a hour later a second coat was applied and whilst this cured tyres were dressed with Zaino 16 and wheels protected with Zaino CS

    Few finished pics after vehicle given a wipedown with Zaino Z8

    Wow, I really like the finish acheived! I was wondering how SN did on black. Beautiful!

    Not too sure about the design of the Civic Type S, but it's unique that's for sure.

    Awesome work, Jay! That Civic does looks awesome!
    Unfortunately we don't. Have you seen what kind of Ford Focus is being offered in Europe? They have it, we don't. Honda CRV in Europe comes with projector style HID xenon lights, they have it, we don't...I guess it is us, detailers who really understand pure beauty, an average Joe probably doesn't really care, he cares about television shows, but I don't! I won't be WASTING my time watching american idol, I'd rather go and wash my car, even if it's clean already.

    we can fix that. Let's shut down stupid show called American Idol, and open up a new one and call it Detailing Bliss!!! All and everything about detailing candies!!!
