Honda Civic Type R Saloon

Overview: Mugen fettled and very quick this little beauty gets driven – hard!  Beautifully built car that is standing up well to some (serious) track-day use.

Exterior: Classic (as base)

Interior: Flex

Protection: Collinite MDE Wax + Raceglaze 55 Wax

Other: Full Clay Bar

Cleansing process: Car snowfoamed then washed.  Paintwork de-tarred then clayed with Yellow Clay (lubricated with water) and then dried with waffle-weave towel.  Paintwork then wiped down with Isopropyl Alcohol, rinsed with water and re-dried.  Wheels cleaned with AS Smartwheels (face) and VP Bilberry (inners) and then de-tarred.  Exhaust cleaned with Collinite Metal Cleaner and superfine steel wool.

Protection process: Base coat of Collinite MDE Wax applied then buffed off.  Top coat of Raceglaze 55 Wax applied then buffed off.  Tyres treated with Autoglym Tyre and Rubber dressing.

Interior treatment: Flex one hour.  Car hoovered throughout, all plastic surfaces wiped down with cleaner/dressing, glass polished.
