*Detailed for a good friend of mine*

Well, before we get started, I'd like to say that the specs on the paint after polishing/waxing are the blue flake in the paint reflecting off the sun. I could not get a good close-up of it, but it's not lint...I use microfibers :D .

So this Civic is a 1998 with 160k miles on it. It was garaged, but not really washed and NEVER protected. The process was:

Wash - Mother's Gold
Clay - Clay Majic
Rinse and Dry - Pakshak WW MF
Polished - SFP x 2 w/ LC White Polishing Pad on the Makita 9227c
Wax - S100
