Civic Type-S Swissvax Winter Prep

Hello all,

After seeing some of my previous Honda details, a member of Civinfo got in touch with me before Christmas to book his Civic in with me for a Paintwork Protection Detail along with a service and MOT.

I got all the mechanical side of things out early morning so I then had the rest of the day to carry out the detail and bring the car up to the level that the owner was looking for.

On arrival it looked like this;





Close up it wasn't looking so great;











I started with the wheels, tackling them with a home made combo of ph neutral foam, TFR, and some APC - later followed up with Bilberry and Wolf's Brake Duster..



The foam combo would be used on the paintwork too, so the wash phase was significantly easier and also so I could start removing the half inch thick layer of Bilt Hamber the owner had been hammering the car with



Once the double bucket 'Magic Wash' was completed I could make a start on the decontamination processes, kicking off with tar removal and then afterwards de-ironising..





Not alot came out of the paint!



In addition to the regular detail, which doesn't involve any polishing or correctional work, I was asked to remedy one or two wrongdoings from past cleaning 'accidents' etc.

















Water repellant after application to the panoramic roof - and other glass. G|Techniq G3 for anyone interested.



and when removed you can see that lovely shine!



After a full IPA wipedown it was time to whip out the finishing products, starting with a secret sealant for added protection, and topped with Swissvax Best of Show;



Leaving reflections like this..



I dressed the arches with 303, tyres using Poorboys Bold n Bright, all the exterior trim with Wolf's Nano. When the owner arrived to collect the car, he had an additional request which was if I could take him to the location where I took the pictures of the Grey Evo VIII you guys also liked very much!

So here's the car, enjoy the final pics..
















So what do you think? Who says you can't do much with Silver??? :cooldude:

Thanks for the kudos fellas!

Robin, it's Stevey_P7's. I have also done EvoStu's CW FN2 (though he's from CTROC) but his car is known on both sites.

lol...I recognise the car now you say it lol

One day I might point the hose at my FK3

[Debo]

Do it. They've grown on me a bit since I've done 3 of these now!

Some dry shots might inspire you some more to get that hose aimed at your car
