  • 07 Honda Cvic SI

    I must say, Honda paint is SOFT. I was blow away how soft it was. I only used a Flex, a yellow polishing pad and 205 and got the buffing job done in about 5 hours.

    I was thinking about charging him less because I got dont early and didnt break a sweat. But then I look at the interior and changed my mind.

    Products used
    Clay
    FLEX DA
    M205
    Yellow Polishing Pad
    and NXT 2.0

    Interior was
    APC+
    M40
    M39
    Hot Wat Extractor
    and Megs Glass cleaner

    Engine bay
    Super Degreaser
    M40

    I was VERY frustrated with the interior because while I was working in poor lighting, I thought I was going a awesome job but when I pulled it out into the light there was still dirt hidden here and there and dust. The seats were suede and that didnt help either.

    Either way, here are the pictures.

              I thought it was a pure black but after closer inspection it had flakes or whatever in it. Looks awesome though.

                  06? I forgot to check the VIN to see what year it was exactly but from the paints condition I would have thought it was a 99 :P

                    Definitely an '05 or '06.

                    Either way, great job. I had a friend that had one of those cars. Same black color, but he used to use one of those big brushes at the coin-ops

                    Of course I told him that's like using sand paper.

                    Detailers clean places nobody see. Detailer see's things nobody else see. But if you ask a Detailer to see how a dress looks on a woman, they are blind.

                          The car could be anywhere between a 2002-2005. 2006 is where the body style changed for the Si. Good work though.
