Well thank you for that!, but.... don't you think that since you are in this website, and you know a lot about detailing (because you said you learned a lot from people in this web site), and... .... ... Could you say something? I'll hang around for your answer instead!

Thanks everybody!

Well, there's so much to know about detailing. And you said you want to know everything as there are vasts amounts of knowledge that go into detailing a car to make your paint like brand new. I could advise you to go buy a rotary, a DA polisher, car shampoo, micofiber towels, clay bar, waxes, sealants, quick detail, polishes, compounds, the list goes on and on. So you see it kinda depends on exactly what you're looking for and the present condition of your paint. Do you just want a quick one step wax, or do you want to completely correct your paint like brand new with multiple tools and products? Just trying to help you out bro. ;)

Hey! I'm really happy that there's people like us in this website. Thank you beforehand for all your future help (:p). Anyway, i really wanna get the best out my cars paint. I bought it a month ago and i have washed it 3 times so far. I had used for the last 2 washes a new blue colored chammois that does the job reeeeeeeaaally good. I'm happy with it, and i'm keeping it, so discard that. Now, i'm using the Mr. Clean kit, and let me tell you it works great. I get better water pressure, and the soap seems to do it really good. I haven't waxed my car yet, but i have used Eagle Wet Spray On Something that you spray on the paint (it actually works extremelly good with windows as well) while the car is still wet. The combination between the chammois and this product do it reeeeeeaaaly good. The windows finish is spotless, and the paint is really good.... but it is not a real wax yet. Now, a little proble i have is the inner side of the windows. I haven't found a good product to clean the really good. I need something that cut that grease like dirt haze that's on them after a while (you know, dirt, smog, your own breathing. It comes out when is like morning or cold, etc)...

Well, that explains what i have done so far. What do you think buddy? I have a few scratches also, and i bought this red colored Turtle compound that i either don't know how to use, or it does not work. HELP!

thank you!!!

Cool...[8D] Word of advice, ditch the turtle wax compound, for light to medium scratches, use Meguiar's Scratch X and rub in the direction of the aerodynamics of the car or if you have a DA it is machine safe too. What year and model Civic you have? The present condition of your paint is the determining factor for what products to use.

Hey! Thank you for your info! Now, i own a 2002 Civic EX. The paint shines, but it's not the best. It has a lot of scratches unfortunately. Only two are visible; the others are only minor and you must look at them to the side the really appreciate them (appreciate??). Could you let me know more...?

Thank you very much!

were can buy royal blue

Get a clay process done. It is a gritty wax that pulls those fine scratches out of paint, also removes anything you can't see, but can feel in your clear coat. And always, always keep your car waxed. Build up that wax coat and you will have a great looking car.

Check the "Member/Group Buy" section in the classifieds. There is a number posted that you can call to get two bottles for $20 + shipping. 2 bottles is about a years worth, even if you're extremely anal like I am
