05 Red Civic

[dietoremain]

Ok when I first got this car in front of my house. Wow. It was caked with dirt. The wheels were so dirty they were black. And there were plenty of swirls..
This is after destroying my clay bar and taping away all that trim! (yes that is me, haha).








This is after a pass of #80 on the hood. The paint on these is pretty soft thankfully.















Sorry I know theres not much reflection shots the sun was going down. I finished it off with a coat of #21. I am happy as was the owner. Not to mention the inside was as bad as the outside. My dad took care of that.

Of course I used:
Gold Glass Car Wash
2 bucket system with grit guard
APC
Rubber and Vinyl Protectant
#80
All Season Dressing on the tires and the trim.
all topped off with a coat of #21.
I am quite happy for the owner she is a coworker of mine and works two jobs. She wants to take car of her car now that its cleaned up! Thank goodness. I gave her a wash mitt and gave her a few tips.

My next venture will hopefully be a black '96 BMW 328i. I cant wait.

Nice work on the red.
Allthough I would never buy a red car - you can get them quite easily to their potential.
