  • 2010 Black Honda CR-V-Quick Clean Up

    Ok. So I actually did this car about 2 weeks ago when I was home for fall break but just have not taken the time to post it so I figured why not now.

    Anyway, if this car looks familiar, it should as its my sisters car.

    Process:
    1) Wash with NXT car wash
    2) Hit the tires, wheels and wells with a mixture of Hyper-wash and APC+
    3) Dried with Watermagnet drying towels
    4) Applied Ultimate Wax Paste via W9204 pad (4 inch finishing pad)
    5) Tires were hit with Gold Class Endurance Tire SPray
    MY TECHNIQUE
    1) Spray liberally onto all 4 tires
    2) Work in each one well with a foam applicator
    3) Let it sit for a bit (for me, until I had wiped off the Ultimate Wax)
    4) Wipe down with a terry towel
    This seems to allow the dressing to remain on the tire for longer and through more rain than previous methods. It works for me.


    I should have clayed the paint but I was being a little lazy. I really just wanted to get some protection on this paint.




















    Front end and mirrors soaking in some APC+ at full strength











    After wash











    Spraying the Tire Gold Class Endurance Tire Spray







    After wiping in with foam applicator




    Close up after wiping with foam applicator







    The streaks and excess are removed by the terry cloth leaving a very nice even shine. The excess product in the small grooves of the tire are easily removed by either compressed air or a wiping a towel in the direction of the grooves.


    And here she is all waxed up.

















    Thanks for looking!

    Great job Shawn!

    My wife also has a black CR-V ('11) and I love the look UPW gives that car. As your pictures show, the paint just looks dripping wet.

        Thanks Marc! I am a big fan of the new CR-V.

        Thanks Nick! I haven't done a traditional wash in a while. I forgot how much I enjoyed them.
