Default Presidential Detailed: 2006 Honda Civic SI

The owner of this car just picked it up a couple weeks ago and gave me a call. The overall condition of the car was pretty good and we just did a "basic" 1-stage polish on it. The car used to have a wind visor for the moon roof, but the owner took it off and it had left some pretty serious clear coat damage from rubbing on it so much. There were also some pretty serious scratches on the roof from what seems like a laptop or books being sat down and slid across the finish often. I ended up using M105 compound on the entire roof and top pillars(between the roof and doors) and it did a pretty good job. The owner was very happy with the outcome as was I, especially for a single stage polish job.
