    Quick one step polish and wax 2008 Civic Si

    Well I have a group of civics coming in and this was the first. I used to own an 8th gen Civic Si and one of the local groups here has a few members coming in for some work.

    This car was in rough shape. Did the normal wash with CG honeydew and my foam gun followed by a nanoskin fine decontamination.

    This car is a daily driver and the owner is on a very very tight budget while in college. I only did the exterior and this job came right in at about 4 hours with a lunch break for my son and I.










    I wanted to get the most gloss and correction I could with one step on this soft honda paint. Started with my flex 3401 and a white hybrid pad with Menzerna pf2500. I tried fg400 but it didnt seem to finish out so well on my test spot when I took it out into the sun light.













    And the end results

    When I said one step polish I meant one polish step not just an all in one polish/wax. I apologize. I used Menzerna pf2500 with a white hybrid pad and my lsp was menzerna PL followed by liquid souveran.

    Wow great job!!! That's an amazing turn around for a 1 step and more incredible that you finished it in 4 hours!

    I hope the owner appreciated your work and will try to maintain the perfect finish.

    Came out nice. Boy those Civics really are all horrible with the windshield cowling, my brother-in-law has one and it looks just like that, almost white.

    He's very happy. Also got him set up with some proper towels and car wash supplies. So it will stay looking good. It's nice working on these newer Hondas the defect removal is super quick. I really like working on them.


    Thanks everyone on the feedback. I've been doing cars on the side for over 15 years since before I had my drivers license. Just recently I started documenting my work and trying to get my name out there and not just be word of mouth. Things are picking up and this year had been crazy busy.
