Magic Detail: Civic Type-R

Hey guys,

Still alive, been mega busy lately so haven't had much time for forums. Nice to see this section ticking along nicely, and that many others are now starting to have a go and get involved with caring for their car properly.

Just a short one this, some highlights of a recent enhancement / light correction detail I did on a premier edition EP3.

Matt.

Thats lovely i like the ep3 shape wouldnt own one though

These late model Premier's are nice - they have proper Recaro seats with adjustable leg support, and of course being the facelift model benefit from the lighter flywheel. Very good car. Hot Hatch of the naughties for a reason ('02-'05 inclusive, nothing could get close).

Lovely job Matt 8)

Regret selling mine a lot actually, i had the Gruppe M and K-Pro on it and adored it :(

really good, what products did you use debo?

Polishes: 3M Ultrafina, Scholl S40, S17+, S3 Gold Edition.
Pads: 3M Blue Waffle, LC-HT Crimson Finishing, Gloss-it Polishing, Gloss-it 145mm Wool.

It was only a single stage enhancement / light correction here btw, so if you're wondering why so many pads and polishes were involved, it's because some panels had been resprayed. The paint was generally 'sticky' (a term you'll probably have read over on DW), so it was causing a few problems with micro marring which resulted in my changing pad/polsih combo's a few times, and even switching between Rotary and DA machines to combat this.

HTH.
