So Thursday night I receive a call from a local gentlemen. He tells me that he had his black SI Civic compounded by a body shop after having the rear bumper sprayed. He then tells me that it's covered in holograms and looks horrible. After a little small talk I ask him how he found out about me. His answer- " I found some of your write ups while searching on the Autogeek forums." From here he found my facebook page and realized I was real close to him and he immediately contacted me. So we setup for him to drop off Friday night and I would complete the car on Saturday.

Boy was he not lying about the damage done by the body shop. They really hammered down with a rotary. I will let the following pics take it from here.



















Wheels were prepped with Iron-X and Tires cleaned with Tuffshine tire cleaner.






There was also a ton of compound in the cracks, jambs, moldings etc etc.






After washing and a light prep with a fine nanoskin mitt I was able to start polishing.

Polishing was handled with my Flex 3401 polisher, orange pad and Menzerna FG400. I finished with HD Speed a white pad then topped with Nattys red paste wax. Tires were dressed with Blackfire Total Eclipse tire shine.
