This incredible looking FK2 Civic Type R came in for some long term protection.

The Civic was bought a couple of months ago as a replacement for the owners previous BMW M3 (detail here - http://www.detailingworld.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=399727 )
I won't go into detail, but if you're going to roll an 3 series with the carbon roof, make sure nobody is sitting in the back :driver:

Onto the detail then.
The car had sat on a dealership forecourt for many month being wiped down daily.
The owner has a great eye for defects so booked the Civic in for the same package he had previously.

Full safe wash and decontamination
Major Enhancement Detail
Ceramic Pro 9H+ (3 layers of CP 9H)
Ceramic pro Light
Wheeks removed and coated inside and out as well as the Brembo brake calipers and hubs.
Ceramic Pro Rain for all exterior glass
Interior surfaces cleaned and protected.

The car on arival.

Just because it was bothering me.

After the initial cutting stage there were still some deeper scratches so these ares were cut again before refining.

On reflection, I didn't take as many photos during the polishing stages as I thought :eek:

Thanks for reading :)

Richard.
