    Decided it was time for a little touch up on the GF's '05 Magnesium Civic.

    It rained all day, so the car was relatavily clean.

    DD MF's
    Adams Detail Spray
    Adams Purple Clay
    Lusso Revitalizing Creme
    Lusso Oro
    Menzerna Top Inspection
    1z Glas Polish
    Sprayway Glass Cleaner
    Menzerna FMJ
    Blue CCS Pad
    Flex
    German applicator.

    The Hood was already in really good shape, having given it the IP and 085rd treatment about 6 months ago. I just wanted to freshen up the wax.

    I wiped the hood down with the QD, and followed with the clay. Nothing serious. Followed with the Revatalizing Creme on a blue CCS pad on the Flex at speed 2. Then followed up with 2 coats of Lusso Oro.

    While the pictures don't show any improvement, there is. More depth and shine from the metallics.

    Additionally, I treated the windshield with a clean with the Sprayway, clayed with the Adams, cleaned again with the 1z Glas Polish, then Menz Top Inspection, and finally a coat of FMJ.

    I did this on my windshield a couple days ago, and the results make me giggle. The water FLYS off the windshield.

    Looks good, I like the reflection on the second picture, nice thing is they look to be at the exact same angle too....I notice the difference but then again that's just me :2cents:

    The german applicators are nice. The White side is moderately firm, while the red side is very soft. I kinda wish it was a little smaller, but they're really pretty nice.
