respected brother

only car shampoo wash , never surf wash as surf creats swirls and light secratches on car skin, also never hair shampoo to car , surf and hair shampoo sucks natural oils of paint and make the skin dry where as car shampoos having necessery paint oils and waxes to enrich paint.

only use micro fiber wash mitts or micro fiber clothes to wash/ dry car skins , no more rs 10 wala cloth

use quality waxes like trutle, mother, meguiar's ( well many other good options in world but not in pakistan ) no more formula 1 wax as its having micro polishers which quitly eat clear coat of car skin, also these ordinery waxes lacks uv protections which cause col fade, reduce shine from skin after some time and make the surface dull without life.

having 2 kinds of waxes

i prefer synthetic waxes on lighter shades like white , silver , sky blue etc as aim is for high reflections with longer protection as we dont have margins to deepen the colour in such light shades, while on dark shades i love to apply natural ( carnuaba based waxes ) waxes as aim is to deepend, darken the paint with rich deep gloss
problem is our enviornment having dust and pollution and natural waxes attract dust so top up with detailer spray wipe which reduce static charge so less dust attraction problem

NEVER DRY DUSTING

these are some basic precuations

This post has literally added flavor to this thread... what a master piece of information... Ahmed yar bro.. thanks a lot for sharing for the benefit of all... though i am very selective and precautionary while treating my car yet you pin pointed certain facts that i was missing unknowingly... Thanks a lot man... Jazakkalah

Ahmed Bhai, you are really a gem of a person.. its your mistakes and efforts that are making people more aware and knowledgeable about how to keep and maintain their rides properly as they deserve to be. Talking of me, before exploring your thread I was so na?ve and ignorant that I have kept some really nice rides in dark colors which deserved to be treated well but idea of getting them waxed or detailed never ever crossed my mind. I’d got the same city in polish metal metallic like you do but changed it after a year with taffeta white as color was no more appealing to me and MASHA ALLAH the way you have treated this color has really made me fond of it again.
Ahmed Bhai, I have made a list of all the things you have recommended for my ride and hopefully my brother will be leaving to Bangkok on a short official trip, I have requested him to get these items for me or otherwise I will get them from Hyperstar if things don’t go as planned.
Bhai jan, I’m feeling so privileged and honored by your kind offer and would definitely love to avail the opportunity and get my snow white treated by you, it will make her feel so special and pampered.
Insha Allah I will drop by sometime soon after checking your availability and convenience.
Thank you so much!

sath bhai/ brother and sath thanks ?? u are more than welcom dears u all are like my young brothers

asif bhai due to my job i travel abroad and my experince for bangkok hell expencive in car detailing products, u dont belive prices are 3 times higher over there compare to pakistan due to local import duties
well u can source microfiber sets from big c ( their flag ship store just in front of world trade center bangkok) or texco loutus stores
2 months back i got a set of 12 microfiber clothes @roughly rs1800
well china most economical in microfibers , last month i got a set of 3 from walmart shanghai @rs150

for deatiling stuff usa most economical so u can request any relative or friend who coming pakistan to also get few things from u

rest will make plan to detail ur snow white on any sunday inshalla , also wishing to have its test drive as start saving money to upgrade my Orca ( black rolla ) to civic inshallha

Some pictures on motorway from Lahore-Faisalabad-Lahore.
For those who have concerns about stability of the car at high speeds; let me assure you that you wont feel any wobbling or swinging even at the speed of 200Kmph. Car remains very calm and composed and would excite you to push it hard.

@Pyromaniac...Congrats on purchase

Ahmad Yar!!! Suggest treatment stuff for cabin too. Appreciate if u list down necessary stuff for exterior/interior detailing that one can bring from USA while considering lighter and darker shades. Many thanks for sharing your valuable experience on detailing.

They've changed gear ratios to a great extrent ... For 8th Gen RPM is below 3K even at 130Kph ! .. At 120kph RPM shows 2250-2300

devilslayer (devilslayer) 2012-11-01 05:55:03 +0500 #311

Stay safe; drive within limits!

BUT, Civic's fun surely begins @ 150

Nice thread and great pictorial review...

Bro, the RPMs you mentioned are for prosmatec transmission. The one in question is MT. Reconsider your post! Its literally not possible for manual R18 to have this rpm @ 130kph.

Merciless (Merciless) 2012-11-01 06:25:02 +0500 #315

Hey Thanks bro for the effort! Appreciated a LOT!

I just wanted to see that the cut off is the same as ours or not. Its the same. Not so razor sharp as it should've been!

Merciless (Merciless) 2012-11-01 06:27:55 +0500 #316

No they haven't! To the best of my knowledge, your 8th gen is a PT. This one is MT. The gear ratios are 99% ditto copy of the 8th gen. (compromising on 1% as I haven't made a precise study yet).

What? Unstable at speeds? Rotflmao! Who said that? The guy must've owned a maserati all his life! LOL

Merciless (Merciless) 2012-11-01 06:28:59 +0500 #317

If any, get rid of the eurostars and get the wheels balanced and aligned. Then place a bet with me worth a 1000$ that the car is unstable.

umair2203 (umair2203) 2012-11-01 07:04:41 +0500 #318

Reconsidered and Acknowledged ! You are right buddy ! I overlooked this !

Reason given by an honourable member in his thread,

Since the car came home today my father got time to look at it and have a drive and the only word he spoke after coming back was that we are not keeping this car ..you need to sell it

reason for this
1) very low quality used
2) very less road clearance
3) unstable at speed above 100
4) This gen of civic needs both normal petrol and Hi octance else it engine will be doing knocking

P.S
No offence meant to anyone.... I seriously need to check the above as i am in great confusion abt wat to choose Altis or Civic... datsy posting it
