- Here's another corker to come through the workshop!
This 2009 FN2 Civic Type R came to me in pretty average condition. The wheels were deeply engrained with dirt, the interior was pretty disgusting with lots of mystery stains and a worn out gearstick gaiter, the paintwork was hazy and there was some damage to the rear bumper.
You may recognise this Civic Type R from my 'Chop To The Top' series where i am trading my way up from a cheap car to a supercar. I am highlighting each of the cars from the series so far in one of these 15 minute edits over the next few weeks so that it is easy for people to get an understanding of what was done to each car in a quick, easy to digest video with no talking!

Amazing what hard work can do! Detailing a car like this must be very rewarding! Awesome job
Cheers Terry. It's always great bringing a car back from average to like new!
It's great once it's all done that's for sure!! I had the championship white one looked phenomenal fully detailed!! 😍
Lovely job
Truly amazing job Johnny - business as usual! 👌🏻🤩👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Johny when your doing your chop challange can you do price reveals and we're you are so far I'm trying to do the same but it's hard to get bargains right now
Hi, thanks for the comment. I am planning on doing a re-cap episode soon which will detail the Chop To The Top process so far and whats been spent / earned to get where i am (hopefully that'll be of interest). The market right now is tricky, lots of over-inflated prices so you're right - it is a bit difficult but i'm sure things will start to level out soon!
@@JohnnyGetsCash thanks for replying yes that will be great I watched everyone of you videos 😁
@@flippingcarsrepairs thanks very much, I appreciate the support!
@@JohnnyGetsCash is this your trade being in the motor business
@@flippingcarsrepairs Yes, I do have several income streams but my first and main trade is car dealing 👍
Sweet looking motor. I would buy that for a dollar.
good job nice car had 4 years pleasure to own 1 liked more ep3 on track but everyday use more fn2
Wow what a fantastic job johny that must have took a day or so looks brilliant, what car cleaning product are you using 😁
Cheers! I use a whole range of different products / brands. If there is anything specifically that you want to know about give me a shout and ill help as much as i can!
@@JohnnyGetsCash What number can I reach you at? I'm from Germany 😅!
Brilliant job Johnny, well done mate.
Cheers Ken
epic job bud! thanks for saving another fn2 from the heap!
i hated and loved my crystal black fn2, nothing shines like black, and looks amazing, but the paint on a fn2 is butter soft, just washing it wrong, i.e no pre wash or double bucket with guards causes all sorts of problems, hell i could swear that just having it parked on my drive caused marring and holograms!
i always found that, correction wise, megs 205 with a medium orange lake country pad worked wonders on my paint, what compound did you use?
Thanks Craig! You're right - when it's clean, Black is a gorgeous colour, but keeping it that way is tricky to say the least! I agree, Honda paint in general seems to be on the softer side and needs treating with caution. For the correction on this one i used my 'go-to' compound - Meguiars Ultimate on a medium / medium soft pad. That's the set up i use for 90% of the correction work i do, only varying when conditions dictate!
The paint is kind of thin on these, but even with a standard wash and basic wax it shines like new. Plast-X on the headlights and rear perspex. I had mine parked next to a 21 VW and there wasn't much difference.
Your attention to detail is exceptional 👌
Thanks Chris - It's all about the details!
G'day mate, normally I think wow that is a lot of effort for such a small return. But, I feel this car was worth it.
By the way, do you have a video on how to respray the bumper and back of my car, please? The trailer came off the hitch and smacked the back of my pride and joy causing some minor dents but the panel shop wants $2000 that I just don't have. Thank you :)
Cheers Darren! I love Hondas, they're just so well put together and in this case it was one of those cars that didn't look too bad at first but after some graft it really came up like new and was an absolutely beautiful example!
RE your trailer incident, that sucks, sorry to hear about the damage. I don't currently have a live video of that sort of damage but funnily enough the tailgate of the Fourtrak i'm restoring has a trailer hitch dent right in the middle of the rear door so i can demonstrate the repair process on that in the hope that its helpful!
@@JohnnyGetsCash Thanks mate, I have a good Idea but I don't want to mess it up.
Hey amazing job. What were you using brushing the carpet?
Very Nice
Amazing work.
Cool
Please watch INC INTERNATIONAL EDITION pls
Amazing how much would something like this cost?
wow what a shine, spectacular job.
This is brilliant. How did you paint the touch ups? Was there a base before the nighthawk black? Was there a clear coat over it?
That was aerosol nighthawk Black over the repair (filler). I didn’t use primer as it was a small area and I was working the paint out into a fade. With regards to clear - there was a clear coat applied over the fresh paint, yes 👍
Hi Johnny. Amazing work!
What did you use to cover scratches?
That was filler / re spray done as a smart repair 👍
Wish you could do this on my type R... Purchased off a farm in Wales at 156k miles on it
Blimey, that sounds like it might be a bit of a project!!
Hi Johnny, what's the brush you're using on the carpets? Is it any good for dog hair?
Cheers Larcs 👍
Hi Larcs, That's a silicone hair remover. They are very good at drawing out pet hair and other loose fibres ready to be vacuumed up. Here's a link: amzn.to/3GfaljL
@@JohnnyGetsCash Brilliant thanks 👌
This is my My old car I just recently sold it! Was one of the cleanest fns I've owned
how much do these go for? Kinda want one for my second car but in a years time or so.
Only just seem this ( only just bought a FN2 ), unbelievable transformation, I don’t suppose you offer this service ? !!
Great choice, Chris! The FN2 gets a bad rap sometimes but I think they’re phenomenal cars! I used to do a lot of sale prep / light restoration work for customers but these days I seem to be so busy with my own projects I haven’t looked for the work! Where are you based?
Hi Johnny
Thanks for reply , I don’t know much about them yet but always wanted one , great to hear you rate them. Mines ok but would really look better with something like that awesome job you did to that black one .
Based in Coventry
You can work on my car any day!!
How long did it take you in total for all this I have the same car 😅👍!!! Really good job the previous owner unfortunately left it so dirty for me too!!!
In total this was around 2 days to complete 👍
@@JohnnyGetsCash Respekt🔥😏👍!!!
Nice work bro
What kind of brush is that that you use on the carpet?
That’s a silicone block brush - great for removing engrained hair, fluff etc!
Great work.
Thanks!
Amazing job you did with the type R! Loved the video
Cheers!
