Default just got a new civic si!!!

i cant believe it. i have been having trouble with my integra and my mom, out of the blue, asks if i want a new car!!! i got a standard black si. i am getting fog lights 18in wheels and splash guards. i will post pics as soon as i clean it up. any suggestions for cleaning detergents? i currently use kit car wash. i want to keep the swirl marks at a minimal.

the key is having two wash buckets, use one with soap/water and another with just water.

rinse your mitt in the water before you go for more soapy water.

i suggest megs gold class for darker colored cars.

ok... i did what you said about the buckets but i used 3. two with water and one with lather. it wasnt too bad. i was nervous the whole time. after i washed i went over with klasse aio and then the hgsg. looks pretty good. to any other 06 civic owners... do yalls washer nozzles work. i tried to spray mine earlier today and nothing came out. i am going to honda tommorow.

they might just have forgotten the fluid. the lines also need to be filled before the fluid comes out, fill it up and hold down the spary button for a few.


i thought you weren't supposed to wax a new car? :dunno:
