With a little bit of work, this car can really turn out great. I advised the owner to do the following: 1) Either buy new wheels or refurbish them (including a complete acid strip, refill & re-spray) 2) replace the tyres because they are all perished 3) Re-spray the bonnet section or at the very least, touch up the rock chips. 4) seal the undercarriage and the arches to prevent rust. 5) Ceramic coat the paintwork using two coats of carpro CQuartz UK 3.0 and one coat of carpro Gliss.
Looks like the drain in the fuel filler is blocked. Great work considering it was in such a poor state, I think you’ve probably just doubled its value! 😂
The detail brushes just a generic brand from Amazon. I tried a few out and I found these are quite soft. I do have some 26JPN brushes that are quite expensive but very high quality. I use them on more expensive cars. For the wheels, I use a tuffshine tyre brush and EZ wheels brushes.
Big improvement but after using a clay bar the car should be machine polished to remove any marring caused by the clay if not a glaze or paint cleanser applied by hand or machine nice video though 👍🏻
Thanks Paul. I was planning on machine polishing but I ran into a few issues. Firstly, the rain prevented me from doing anything. Also, the paintwork was extremely bad. There were lots of chips & peeling (although not easily noticeable on camera). The swirls required a heavy cut, but I didn’t want to risk getting under the clearcoat & damaging the paintwork further. I ended up using Aqua coat by AutoFinesse because it provides touchless protection for at least 3 months. I contemplated using a paste wax, but again, I didn’t want to touch the paintwork unless necessary.
Another good job and a filthy car, don’t forget the tar removal also, and at-least a hand polish after clay, what clay do you use? Does it show up the muck beings it’s orange??
@@HirschPower the purpose of a presoak (in this case Surfex HD) is to do two things: 1) it acts as a degreaser and cleaning agent, so it begins the process of breaking down any contamination, as well as softening the layers of contamination (first layer is usually dust, followed by road film, then followed by other heavier contamination) 2) it acts as a lubricant, so when you use the pressure washer for the first time, the friction from the pressure washer doesn’t cause the particles of contamination to further embed themselves into the clearcoat.
Enjoy the video but we were 10 minutes in and you were still washing the front wheel, would like to have seen more polishing etc 50/50 old and new paintwork especially on a black car looks great 👍
@@LostDetails. i know the struggle mate 😔. Just keep the pannel wet. And if needs be just do a small section at a time nd that way the soap wont dry onto the paint buddy 👍
@@TheRoku7 thanks for the advice mate. I’m still a beginner, so I’m getting to grips with detailing safely, which is why I’m working on my own/friends cars.
@@LostDetails. You will always get trolls mate. No matter how "open and honest" you are.... how kind you are.... how accommodating to folk you are.... once you get one, you will suddenly get a load. Necessary evil but dont be frightened of using the block button. Yes they may come back on a different account but it makes them do work to be able to do it, once isnt an issue but if they have to keep doing it, they will leave you alone in the end. Never engage the trolls....
@@LostDetails. can I guess where you are based on the background? Are you near the dog track, Belle Vue, in Manchester? That road looks familiar. I'm sure there are loads just like it but it does look very familiar?
@@sleepingwarrior4618 thank you for the advice. I haven’t gotten any hate yet but I’m certain it’s just a matter of time before I do. I’m based in London. My road does however look like a lot of roads in Manchester and Leeds, and looks almost nothing like a normal London road.
@@LostDetails. it's a shame because the traffic noise spoils the video....try muting the sound and playing some none copyright music in the background....I can deffo recommend some good channel names, "NoCopyrightSounds" is deffo worth checking out on TH-cam...."DG MUSIC - Bass Boosted" is another one worth checking out....it might take away a distracting part of your work and replace it with a pleasurable part instead....just a thought...
It’s for anonymity. Masks have been used for centuries for this purpose yet you’re fixated on corona. A gentle word of advice Mr Clifford. Please keep an open mind before you judge someone you don’t even know. Thanks.
@@LostDetails. if you run an open business. There is no point in “anonymity”. Like anyone can go to you and ask for a detail and see your face. No reason to hide :) Especially if you do a good job :))
That was one thorough wheel clean, the suspense of the rinse off was killing me 🤗
The kerb rash on that wheel was all round the rim....such a shame.
Nice screws holding the arch on LOL what a heap

Standard UK. Bliss sun, pissing it down, all in one vid
And as usual, the forecast is a heap of nonsense.
@@LostDetails. Government fluffing the forecasts to put people off travelling 😂
That is just a suggestion but it would be better if you just take off the wheel's
You could do with a cover or awning to keep you from the good old UK weather...quite a decent job, using some good products too!
Thanks. I’m trying to get my hands on a 5x6m gazebo/marquee. They’re really expensive.

Mans even curbed the tire
Its the vtec
Vtec kicked in too hard & disintegrated the rubber on the tyres.
@@LostDetails. Hahahah laughed out loud here
yeah, I've found Iron Fallout remover works way better on baked on wheel dirt than wheel cleaning solution does.
Awesome video 👏
Amazing Transformation
nice video， we want one like that@Lost In The Detail 😍
Hello, what pressure washer you use?
Karcher K4
The screws holding the fender molding! Ouch
Its a horrible way to reattach the arches even if the clips are damaged, Tiger seal or something similar works better and looks much tidier.
@@SpiritBlueFezST the owner said that he mounted the curb and the bottom got caught on the edge. It snapped the entire fender piece off.
Great job
Hey bro, nice video, which brushes are you using? Maxshine? Thank you!

Rule #1 when washing a black car.. wash in the shade! Good job though! 👌🏽
It was forecasted as a cloudy day with low chance of rain. As soon as I turn the camera on, the sun decides to appear :(
Hate when that happens 😣. Turned out great anyway! 👍🏼
@@LostDetails. & it still rained by the end!
Weather like a broken clock in the UK, it suits the season for 1 minute twice a day
Tyre scrubbing excellent to hear
Good job 👍
Thank you my friend 🤜🤛
How could you let a car like that get into such a bad state
Someone really doesn't understand the history and respect of this Type R...What a shame....
@@AdversaryNemesis1124 it could eazy be the other way around
Maybe he uses it hard
And he dont use it as an Trailer queen/show car like most people do
whats the first thing you are sprayig on there, from the pump container?
Surfex HD by Bilt Hamber. One of the best all purpose cleaners on the market in my opinion.
@@LostDetails. thanks for the quick reply!
Satisfying
What detail brushes do you use? One on the wheel

Amazing job 👌
Great job wouldn’t have used the same wash mit for the whole car
My type r is almost dirty like this one was 😂.
I actually bought this one from the owner, it is now my car. It was very dirty haha.

Silicone dressing on the plastic arch liners. Makes the difference 🤫

I need my Honda done ✅ too .. can you do it please ? Where u based ?
Hello,
I’m based in East London. My email is indetail.autoclean@gmail.com.
NO MUSIC? *SUBBED*
I had a feeling I knew this road, must be so annoying living on the A12 :(
Safa here.your cousin
Damn! A screws on the fender to hold it?? Owner need to be put in jail
Type R looks amazing
Thanks Naveed. As much as I like the EP3 Type R, I think the FN2 type R doesn’t get the attention it deserves. It’s a great car.
That woman running with weighted pack is gangsta
Was it a barn find?
Show us the interior detail 😋

Not extremely neglected. Just drove through a rain.
😊so geht man mit einem Honda um.
Может скажем ему?
This had to be at least £150 detail with the amount of time you needed to spend on it
It's raining !! Yet you still clean your Honda.. 😁 passion or just for views ??? 🤣
The weather in the UK changes every 5 mins. It cannot be helped haha.
That’s one dirty car
I've never seen an fn2 this dirty before lol
It’s a shame :(
Dont let them soap sudds dry in 🙈. Nice work tho

Wow how dirty was this car the tires look like they have never been cleaned
The inner barrels probably haven’t been cleaned since the car left the factory
