Had the pleasure to work on this 1992 Civic. I was surprised as when the customer described it as "just a civic". When he pulled up, I see a turbo/IC, customer interior, full bodykit, big rims, ect. Very nice.



Anyways, it was a nice relaxing day today. Total detail time only took about 4 hours! I made record time for this detail. :)



Process for exterior:



Wash

Hand polished with SSR2

Topped with Souverian

Tires got some "dress it right"



Process for interior:



Vacuum

Scrub mats, as well as hose them down

Didn't touch the seats

Dash and other plastics got "natural look" by poorboys

Glass was scrubbed with a microfiber then buffed out with anouther MF



Engine Bay:



Cool (Stupid turbo timer kept the car running for almost 5 minutes after I took the key out) :(



Degrease with "Gunk"

Dress with Hot Shine

Engine components dresseed with the Water based dressing "Dress it Right"

Nice work, Steve.







Any reason you chose to hand polish it? No durable sealant/wax for the upcoming winter?

There were just certain areas that required polishin at all, and I hadn't hand polished in a long time. Thought I'd give it a go. No need for a durable sealant, as it was going into storage when I was done with it.

Excellent work - did it have a stereo setup in it?

Yup, but his car was broken into earlier, so I couldn't open the rear window mostly due to one of the gas struts popping out and scratching the crap out of the rear hatch. :furious:
