Default Honda Civic Type-R Supercharged - Detailed (Loads of Swirls)!

Honda Civic Type-R Supercharged

It was dropped off to me around 9am so i took a few pics quickly of how it was looking:







The first thing to do was Snow foam:




After this i went round the whole car with some G101 and a detailing brush, mainly the Indicators, grills, badges etc.


I then rinsed the whole car down, and cleaned the wheels using some AB Very Cherry and a few different brushes, i love the finish on these by the way, painted anthracite and then the faces diamond cut


Very Cherry sprayed on the wheel


Then agitated

Rinsed off




I then also scrubbed the wheel arches with some G101 and a brush
The next stage was to wash the car using 2 x AB buckets & Grit guards with an Adams Polishes Wash Pad and Autosmart Autowash Shampoo
.



After i washed the whole car i rinsed off again with the Pressure washer and then clayed it using some CYC blue clay and Autosmart Reglaze as Clay lube.


Once the whole car had been clayed, i rinsed down and then sprayed it with some Meg's Last Touch before drying off with a couple of Blue drying towels.

I then taped it up ready for polishing and got a few pics of it i the sun and under the Brinkmann Torch to show the swirls and some of the scratches. I think the Honda paint is pretty easily scratched / swirled as an S2000 i did previously was very similar.
