I jet washed and then hand washed the Civic this afternoon. It certainly looks better but....
-Paintwork..which is basically black.. looks like it needs a good waxing as a minimum to remove a 'haze' all over.
-Still have the issue with rear lights. I can't find anything online about removal, Honda certainly screw things together well.. I'd like to get the radio out to look for an 'AUX' input to use for connecting external digital music sources.. but I think the engine needs to come out to do that....
-I've let the wheels.. traditional 'anodised' alloys.. get stained with brake dust etc. Mer body wax is removing the staining..sort of.. but recommendations for a purpose designed product gratefully accepted.
This is the kit I bought. My wife's car headlights were very fogged but this worked and left loads of materials over for me to do my lamps too.
