2002 Civic detail pics

[imported_sph33r]

Hey guys.. kinda new here.



This weekend, 2001civicex and I detailed my father's car. It's a 2 yr old civic with 53,000 miles on it and it's never been waxed. The pictures don't show how bad the paint really was.



Before:

After:

Unfortunately, by the time we got done, it was dark outside and not easy to get a picture in the same spot under the same light to show off how much it really changed.



This was done with Poorboys polish with carnuba, topped with EX and finally a coat of Natty's. The interior and engine was done with Poorboys Natural Look which I really like. It gives a nice matte finish while smelling very good in the process. We were going to spray some scent in the car but when we opened the door all we could smell was the Natural Look and that's good enough :up :up

I just want to thank Steve at Poorboy's once again. His products always amaze me when I use them.

Dale: Yes that's a wizards sticker :up



As for the color of the pics.. my white balance was off a bit so it's a bit orangy looking instead of the red it actually is. But it's close

Holy cow Dale! You saw that Wizards decal from that far? WOW! I used to use Wizards all the time but their customer servie was not the best unless you owned a shop of some sort.

Yeppers, I know my Wizards! LOL

I used to be a distributor for them, but I am not a big fan of the management there. The owner is alright at best, but his second in command (who I had to work with) was a real pain in the you know what. Great products, but Race Glaze is virtual the same line except cheaper. Wizards is right up the road from me in Hanover, MN. I still am a HUGE fan/user of Mist-n-Shine and The Water Bandit.

I hear awesome things about there water bandit. I just thought that their service was terrible and that turned me off.

Guess they really like Civic's in that family. Looks good BTW.

I hear awesome things about there water bandit. I just thought that their service was terrible and that turned me off.

The Water Bandit actually used to be a favorite here on Autopia many moons ago. I bought a couple cases from the manufacturor and sold them to Autopians at cost plus shipping (or so!). I don't know how the website service is for Wizards, but if you find a Bandit, check 'er out. I highly doubt you wouldn't like it.
