GTcarz - Automotive forums for cars & trucks. - Re: detailing a 2003 Honda Civic LX

wax - maguiars gold class is a good overall wax, if you want badass stuff,
get zaino's, it will cost you more, but you wont believe the finish, have a
look at this link, this is the side of a friends car after a coat of zaino,
the car is black, no this isn't the wrong pic, its actually the reflection,
notice the tire on the bottom right

also, dont wash your car with dish liquid or anything liek that, get good
car wash solution also (zaino =)), a good shami to dry the car and you'll be
more then happy. Maguiars Endurance is great for tire's, gives an excellent
shine and lasts for a long time. As for interior, i just use a california
brush (interior one, nice and small) it will remove all the dirt from your
dash but wont make it shiny, just leave it clean. And for your mirrors,
well, you can use a few things, armor-all as mentioned or something like
back to black. Personally, id have them painted to match the car, much
cleaner looking and then you can wax them =) Hope this was some help
