Honda Civic - Tidy up

[1990tom]

Hi,

Another one from a few weeks back - Did have it booked in, and kept getting re-shedueled due to commitments, and finally it was arranged, a few days after Leeds Festival - He warned me it would be filthy...He told me that the car had fairly bad swirls all over due to poor washing and always being flogged up and down the motorway whilst filthy - Spreading the dirt :(

On arival

Bilberry on the wheels - Medium Strength
Arches and tyres with super-degreaser

Tar and glue remover lower half - 2 mins - Wipe off (No need to clay, as he did it 3 weeks ago and didnt want this service)
Practically entire car done with Menz Polishing pad and 3.02, with refining done using refining pad and PO85Final Finish...
Sealant used was Poorboys EX-P stuff....

Anyway - Enough of that - Photos

Starting with the wheels - I have done a few quick washes on this car before, and always forget about the wheels and how lovely the colour is.

Heres the transformation!
