Well, I've been wanting to take a shot at detailing my mom's car for a while now, so today was the perfect excuse. It's a 1995 Honda Civic that's had its paint beaten to death in automatic car washes and I think it's only been waxed once back in 96. The swirl marks and scratches were so bad, it gave the paint a "haze".
Here are two pics after a complete scrub down.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get identical "after" pics, because she lives in a valley and the sun went down.
Here are the steps:
1) Washed with Meguiars car wash concentrate (this pink gel I have from a while back) and dried.
2) Meguiars Swirl remover 2.0 applied with random orbital buffer
3) Meguiars ScratchX applied as needed to areas with deeper scratches (then another pass of the 2.0 over top of that).
4) Meguiars Deep Crystal Polish, also applied with random orbital buffer (with fresh pad)
5) Meguiars NXT tech wax, applied by hand.
6) Meguiars high gloss tire spray.
In fact I think the only non-Meguiars product was the water
And the results:
Needless to say, mom was pleased with the results.
