Hi everyone, I wanted to start out by saying this forum has answered so many questions I had about my new Civic Si! Seems like a great community and I wanted to contribute, I hope someone can benefit from this info.
So here it goes.
I bought a 2018 Civic Si on the 1st and didn't really want black but the other option was a red one at a dealer I wasn't a fan of. So because of a great deal, I got at Sanford Honda, and the fact that my sales person was awesome and black wasn't a deal breaker I went for it.
The detail department at Sanford Honda did an absolutely terrible job at detailing the car, I use to work at a dealership so I understand things get busy and sometimes the detailers aren't the best equipped so I didn't make a big fuss. I decided I wanted to give my car a detail and I started looking here for ideas. Well like most I'm on a budget I would love to drop 350+ on a DA polisher, all the Chemical Guys products, but unfortunately, I can't at the moment. And I wanted a good solid detail. So I went the bargain route and headed to Wal-Mart. Here is a receipt for everything I purchased. I decided to wait for the polishing since it requires a DA tool, and I live on base so no outlets. For right at 100 dollars, I was able to get: Meguiars gold class, Meguiars clay bar kit, Meguiars liquid wax, Meguiars wheel and tire cleaner, Chemical Guys interior detailer, 1 bottle of Rain-x glass cleaner, 2 buckets, 1 waffle drying towel, 1 microfiber wash mitt, and 3 microfiber towels.
I forgot to take pictures of before, I was kinda excited to get to work on the car. I did take some pictures of the finished product and I tried to get some of the minor scratches on camera to show it will need a polish when I get the chance. Oh also bonus point I found a very small dent on the passenger side front fender that was masked by grime so I'll see if the dealership will take care of that for me.
Let me know what you guys think and any suggestions or comments constructive or otherwise lol!!!
