New Car Prep - '12 Civic Si (Polished Metal Metallic)
Anybody who has tried to find a 2012 Civic Si knows just how hard they are to come by. This Si was found by our very own skyfox23 who sold his babied '08 NBP TL-S (details of which can be found in my past topics) for something a bit more thrifty at the pump.
This was just a wash-and-protect job and for a brand-new car shipped all the way from Canada by rail, I was surprised by how little came up on the clay. I was unable to find my camera which is quite literally falling apart so only after photos are available.
Process:
> Wash
> Clayed with Griots' clay and Speed Shine as lubricant
> Sealed using Blackfire Wet Diamond and allowed to cross-link for 12 hours
> Topped with Collinite 845IW and cured for one hour
> Tires dressed
> Splash guards, door sills and door panels treated with 303 Aerospace

Nice shots Portland. Hey, how do you like the Griot's clay? I just bought some, but haven't used it yet.
