We have with us the all new Honda Civic Turbo. Just collected a day before we came over to work on it. The owner did mention that the car was in pretty good condition, but as we all know, even brand new cars comes with paint damage. In this case, its pretty obvious there was a poorly done PDI.
Upon arrival, we did our routine walk around to spot obvious damages around the car.
But since its a 1 day old car, there was no obvious damage on the car.
Next up, we did the LED check light inspection. Hologram spotted.
On other sections of the hood.
On the side fender, hologram and light swirls spotted.
While we were washing the car, we noticed the surface of the paint was really coarse. This was the claybar before.
This is the claybar after. Noticed the edges of the clay. Some metal particles and tar was picked up in the process.
We then moved on to restore the crappy PDI damages. Before.
After paint restoration.

After paint restoration.
After we completed all the damaged areas, we did an IPA (alcohol) wipe down and double checked the surface.
Triple checked the surface just to confirm.
The surface is now ready to be coated.
Entire process took us about 5hours to complete. So check out the glossy finish or a properly corrected and coated brand new car. This is how we feel brand new cars should look like.
