This is a 2006 Honda Civic Si. Car was in great shape, the owner keeps it very clean. Mostly hand washes, well kept and protected. The car is Rallye Red, which I knew would have an awesome shine with the right polish.



Since the surface after putting a light on it, was relatively hologram and marr free, it had spider webbing, and for something minor like that with awesome shine, I selected Menzerna 106ff with Pinnacle Soveran to finish it up. Car was washed, clayed and then polished & waxed. Since webbing and marring was minor, I used the PC on this car instead of the rotary.



Here's the hood before:

Between the Menzerna and the Pinnacle, I was disappointed that the sun wasn't out because the shine would have been awesome in the sun. I was really hoping for it, but between washing the car in 29 degree weather and then it clouding over, my typical luck..... :banghead:
 
Not a big fan of the car but the paint looks amazing. Those before pics weren't too bad. Owner does a pretty good job maintaining the vehicle.

Agreed, he is a car enthusiast himself, so all-in-all, this was a fairly simple detail.



Thanks guys :D
 
Very wet shine! Excellent job on the swirls too. :up



Honda's paint being relatively soft is a mixed blessing. A pain to keep swirl free but pretty easy to correct when it needs it.
