2002 Civic

[Sal329]

This car belongs to a member here, 2doorvic. He lives in the same area as I do and we started talking about his 02 Civic. He said he enters in a lot of the local shows here in the area, and wanted to learn how to polish his car. I told him to come over, so we started saturday at about 8am finished lil after 1:30pm. Hopefully before the big show we get another chance to polish to work on the car, need to polish the headlights, dress the fender wells and clean the engine.

Washed with ONR
Rims cleaned with SC Grime Destroyer and ONR
Rims protected with DG 501
Tires cleaned with APC and ONR
Tires dressed with Meg ASD
Clay with Meguiars white clay
Glass cleaned with SC Clearly better, Walmart glass towels and waffle weave towels
Polished with PC 4" LC Flat orange and 5.5" LC CCS orange pads, Primed pad according to KBM, applied pressure for a few passes, then used just the weight of the PC for a few more passes
Would have liked to followed up with 205, but we needed to be done and honestly 105 left an amazing finish behind
Applied Danase Wet Glaze
LSP this time was Clearkote Carnauba Moose (first time using this and it is going to be used a lot more)


Not to many before pics, Josh and I both took just a couple pics


The entire car looked like this

Re: 2002 Civic

Great Work!

How did you clean the tires with ONR? Sprayed with APC then agitated with a brush dipped in ONR?

Re: 2002 Civic

The garage is my parents not mine, I wish I could have done a good overhaul to it but it will not be mine to use much longer lol.
I spray diluted APC or Surf City Grime Destroyer, then use a soft brush with ONR and clean, spray with ONR from pressure sprayer, use a MF towel to dry.
