KJW Detailing
04-17-2008, 03:37 PM
Hey Everyone,
So yesterday i simply wanted to wash, clay, and wax my civic...nothing huge. That was until after claying i realized the paint was marred/scratched, or something (civic paint is really soft and although i felt extremely gentle when it came to the claying process and used a new piece, i guess it just wasn't enough.
Because of this i am doing a full detail over the course of three days (i have classes all day today so the car rest under the cover at home!)
