This is my first full detail on my Civic Type R FN2 which took me the best Apart of 35hrs on a typical bank holiday.
Wheels cleaned with a 1:1 mix of bilberry, washed TBM with shampoo Plus, EZ wheel brush, detailing brush and a Merino finger mitt.
The wheel were then removed so I could tackle the arches, exhaust, under carriage and brake callipers with strong mixes of Megs super degreaser and APC and de-tarred
Engine bay was cleaned Megs APC 1:8 and various detailing brushes this was then rinsed with the hose and dried with the blow dryer.
Door shuts, grills, ect with Megs APC and various detailing brushes,
Car was then foamed with Megs hyper wash, left to dwell for 5 minutes while I went round the car with a detailing brush on all the panel joints ect.
Washed TBM with Werkstat shampoo. Then moved into the garage to remove tar spots with Mark V and clayed using Gloss-it mild clay & Meg’s last touch.
Foamed and rinsed again and moved back inside for drying with the blow dryer and a PB luxury drying towel.
Wheels then removed to clean the backs fully and seal. These where again washed as the previous method but this time using Gloss it wheel gel at 1:4 and Meg’s degreaser and APC on the tyres. Wheels then de tarred and clayed then sealed with Werkstat prime strong, and two coats of Poorboys wheels seal, tyres were dressed with 2 coats of Gloss-it signature tyre gloss.
Arches dressed with Chemical guys Bare bones, hubs and callipers polished and sealed with Werkstat prime strong.
Engine bay dressed with Werkstat prime strong and 303
Exhaust was given a quick polish with medium grade wire wool and Megs all metal polish.
Paint polished with a G220 with Menzerna 203s on a LC light cut pad while the plastic panted section with final finish 2 and a finishing pad and light cut pad.
Lights and number plates corrected with a 203 on a light cut pad,
The paint work was then given a top inspection wipe down and finished with Jeff’s Werkstat Acrylic, 1 coat of Acrylic prime followed by 5 coats of Acrylic Jett.
Door and boot shuts were protected with Prime Strong and the small amount of trim with Gloss it TRV.
Glass protected with G Techniq G1
Interior given a thorough Vacuum and a wipe over with Megs APC and protected with Werkstat satin Prot, mats were wet extracted with the Vax and protected with 303 high tech fabric guard and the interior glass was cleaned with Eimann Fabrik glass cleaner.
