Car Detailing for Honda Civic Si

Detailing your Honda Civic Si

A Civic Si is usually its owner's pride, which means it gets washed often and polished badly, and most of the ones we see have swirl marks from a well-meaning sponge. We fix that with a careful machine polish and protect it with a sealant. The red-accented cloth inside needs a colour-safe cleaner, and the matte-black wheels on the newer cars get a gentle pH-neutral product rather than anything that could stain the finish.

What we watch for on a Civic Si

• Red-accented cloth seats need a colour-safe fabric cleaner so the red does not bleed or fade
• The matte-black 18-inch wheels on current cars must not be polished; a pH-neutral cleaner and soft brush only
• Many Si cars carry aftermarket intakes and exhausts, so we check what is in the engine bay before any rinse
• The front lip and rear spoiler collect bugs and tar from spirited highway driving
• The aluminum shift knob and pedals smudge and are finished with a dry cloth

Sports cars: gloss, and the details that show

Low, wide panels and bigger wheels show every swirl and fingerprint. We spend extra time on decontamination, polish and protection so the finish stays sharp.
