Freshly Imported Honda Integra Type R Detail

[Music] [Music] hi there and welcome to another car cleaning guru video in which I give this freshly imported 2002 Honda Integra Type R a comprehensive clean [Music] despite the 12 year old car clearly being in good condition it had just traveled thousands of miles across the globe and so it was decided Authority tail was in order to remove any contaminants it may have picked up along the way and give the unmistakable championship white paint with the clean and protected finish it deserved the first step of course was to give the car a good 3 firm from top to bottom to help soften and lift off any loose dirt and contaminants making sure to include the wheel arches as well as the wheels themselves which many people seem to overlook we're firm in the car once the Corrib be blanketed in a thick layer of foam it was left to dwell for a few minutes before being worked into various areas that accumulate ingrained dirt with a soft bristle detailing brush in hindsight some degreaser or general purpose cleaner could have been used here to aid the relatively weak foam in lifting up months worth of ingrained grime although foaming alone is fine for regularly maintained or familiar cars for those you're cleaning for the first time or those that may not have been detailed for a while a designated cleaner degreaser would help to give the firm a little extra bites once the firm have been worked into the various areas is thoroughly rinsed off at pressure to ensure as much dirt and contamination was removed prior to contact washing as possible now this is probably one of the most important steps of the car cleaning process and so it's worth spending some time and being particularly thorough prior to the washing of the body from while the paintwork was still wet the wheels were cleaned one at a time using a strong yet non acidic wheel cleaner through a foaming spray head the Ray as if the waves were purposely overlooked here as they were due to be removed to allow the Brembos to be real a curd and so we're going to be cleaned properly off the car a later date the faces of the wheels however were agitated with a soft bristled detailing brush to lift out stubborn brake dust as were the Brembo calipers themselves before a designated wheel wash met a regular shampoo solution was used to further clean the white wheels prior to rinsing now it's important to use a mitt instead of a sponge on painted wheels for the same reason you would avoid using a sponge on the paintwork the mitt also allows you to take hold of the spokes and clean dirt from behind the witches sponge may miss once all painted faces of the wheels have been cleaned the wash mitt was used to give the tires and wear watches a good scrub prior to rinsing shampoo solution alone was used here although a diluted degreaser or all-purpose cleaner could be used for dirtier cars a thorough rinse of the wheels tires and arches resent perform to remove as much remaining dirt as possible as well as all cleaning product residue which is important if you're using a strong clean also be sure to get the quick blast to the outer wheel our chair is at the end to remove any product overspray prior to washing the body because the car was going to be polished I opted not to wash using two bucket technique to save some watch needed time instead go with a single bucket with a grit guard and the lamb's wool washing it in a methodical manner I washed the type off from top to bottom a section at a time turning the mitt frequently and reloading it was shampoo as well as gently rubbing it against the grit guard at the bottom of the bucket the aim here wasn't necessarily to give a gentle detail wash but more of a thirst group to remove as much imported dirt as possible prior to polishing or protecting [Applause] finishing with the lower skirts and bumpers to prevent contaminants from the generally dirty lower third of the vehicle being drawn over the rest of the paintwork directly after Washington before the suits had time to dry I thoroughly rinsed off the car to remove all traces of shampoo and any remaining glue stairs the next stage was to clay the car to remove any bonded surface contaminants that washing Guillou may not have removed prior to polishing this is done while the car is still wet and an added lubricant in the form of a detailing gone maintenance sprayers applied to help the clay glide over the surface without scratching or marring the paintwork only very like pressure is applied just enough to prevent the clay from slipping out from under your fingers and it is drawn over the surface and sweeping linear motions until the paint work underneath feels perfectly smooth with no areas of drag or friction a single panel at a time has worked at the clay and it's turned or folded in between if ingrained dirt and contaminants have being picked up to prevent them from being drawn over the next panel I'll call the days the clay bar can be left to sit in a bucket of warm water while the washing takes place to make it more malleable and easier to work with after all areas of being played with the lowest of course being the luxe the cars given one last rinse off to remove any residue prior to drying a plush microfiber drying towel was used and pried with the same detailing spray surprisingly a damp towel absorbs water far more effectively than a bone-dry wall again the aim wasn't to give a pampering patting towel-dry but just to quickly remove as much of the surface water prior to polishing as possible larger drying towels are great for sucking up water but can inadvertently be drawn across the ground when wearing gone lower areas so I find it's best to either fold them in half for employer 200 drying method to keep them safely away from the ground [Music] in between drying and polishing address the tires with a durable non silicon product and designated microfiber applicator pad now some prefer to leave the dressing to the end as the tires may attract polishing dust but as I was going to be using a relatively slick dust free product I chose to dress them prior to polishing making sure to catch any overspray with a damp microfiber towel from the freshly cleaned wheel faces on to the polishing which was in fact the pre wax cleanse more than a heavy abrasive polish with the brilliant dodo juice lime prime a light abrasive dust free deep paintwork cleanser that can be applied by hand or machine and it doesn't stain workers or plastics hence my lack of masking using a flex direct drive random orbital machine alongside a Lake Country polishing path spread the product over the surface of the paintwork on a low speed before cranking it ought to wear it in thoroughly focusing on a slightly larger area than a wood officer always before link a multi-stage polish where the cleanser in applying just enough pressure to keep the Machine under control overlapping each pass by about 50% as I went this process is actually more to do with the deep cleansing of the paintwork than his aggressive polishing despite how it may look the aim is to work the cleanser in enough to ensure any ingrained dirt and light oxidation are removed prior to protective product later being applied I worked on metal parts of the car with the machine before easily removing the user-friendly lyin prime residue with a plush microfiber buffing towel which shows to where the product into bumpers and plastic parts by hand to save having to switch to a smaller spot pad on the machine and because they simply didn't require machine application using the stiff side of a foam applicator putt I work the pre wax cleanser into the remaining parts using both circular and linear motions ensuring all areas have been sufficiently covered before giving them a final buff off prior to waxing [Applause] I used p21 s carnauba paste wax and affordable yet premium quality wax that comes with its own small applicator part for ease of use the key to successful wax application is thin even coverage I spread the wax over the surface in mostly linear motions following the contours of the vehicle applying only fingertip pressure depending on the wax in question as well as the conditions in your own personal preference you can either apply it a panel at the time and then buff off or apply to the entire vehicle before buffing here I chose the latter as the weather was cool and so the wax needed a little longer to fully cure as one of the final steps in the detailing process well thing must be done with care to ensure no whack smears are left behind which could compromise the overall finish so again we're methodically from top to bottom and spend some time ensuring all residue is removed which can sometimes be tricky on a white car [Music] once the buffing was completed I had a few small areas of plastics addressed just to finish the job I applied black while with a small sponge applicator pad and buffed it over with a dry microfiber towel until the desired finish was achieved before giving the windows a quick spritz with an ammonia free glass cleaner fluidly where can get in with a lint-free glass cleaning cloth as a final step you could give the car a light mist and buff over with a detail spray to remove any remaining wax dressing or glass cleaning smears but with the light fading and being confident I'm buff them to like a buff no more I called it a day there in order to get some finishing shots which I hope will help to show the integrity bars championship white paintwork in all its glory [Music] comments and constructive criticism a more than welcome I'll be back with another video for you soon and until then happy car cleaning
