i actually didnt get a chance to polish my muffler, or wax the door jambs and under hood which i will do tomorrow...i had to cut the grass hopefully the last time this year ;) anyways, i will be cleaning the garage tomorrow and will try and post pics of the garage...here are some more pics of the civic..the swirls are on my car were light and 80 cleared up the majority of them...due to the overcast all day yesterday which made detailing excellent...picture taking was not so good :hairpull

thnks man...the motor is good but it could be better ;) the white really helps to show the dirt. what i do is clean it once a month with degreaser, while the engine is cold...then i use compressed air to dry it. i dress all the rubber with 303, the here's the secret :idea ..i spray the entire motor with hyper dressing...but shhhh dont tell anyone :LOLOL
 
Intercooled said:
I have heard of the hyper dressing on here. Who makes that?





meguiars makes its..to my knowledge it only comes in one gallon sizes :nervous2: and being that you have to dilute then well it will last for a long time..you can mix it 4:1 (4 parts water to 1 part water) or 10:1....i mix 10:1 and use it for the wheel wells to

yeah the shift boot is stock. I used303 after a mf wipedown, funny you mention because after winter i plan on getting a b&m short shifter along with a new shift knob and a shiftboot :woot2: i heard good things bout shift boots from this place and they make custom colors, I'll probaly go with black with red stiching, an ebrake boot, and an armrest pad :getdown

wow !! nice combo .. i too can't wait to use #21

#21 is awesome, word of advice though if you plan on using pc pads, wash out you pads immediately because they tend to stain...dont aske me how i know :sadpace: but even if they do stain, they can clean up just takes alot of work
 
Absolutely amazing looking! Everything looks great :2thumbs:



How long did you wait before you layered your #21? 24 hours I'm guessing? I wasn't 100% sure it could be layered because of those "fine" cleaners. I also plan on using #21 for my car during the rough NJ winter. My car is in serious need of just a wash, let alone a complete detail, but I avoided last nights snow by putting it in the garage :chuckle:



btw where abouts are you from in NJ?
 
WOW! does that look fantastic!

I have the exact same car and year in Eternal Blue Pearl.

I can post pics of what a civic looks like after driving around in the salt and sluch all morning.

It almost looks as good as yours.

..Almost. :chuckle:



Nice job!
