Can this shine anymore?
Hello friends! :itsme:

I was back from KL, meeting KC. I had to start my first detail after the trip.


This was my baby, a 2004 Honda Civic V-tec. (Not anymore! She’s someone else’s now. But I still love her.)
Obviously, being a house member, she expected more attention from me. So, I couldn't choose any other ride. I remember KC saying take care of the family first!

(I’ve lost a lot of pictures of her due to a data transfer gone wrong. What’s remaining is from mobile phone).

This was her state - a wild black stallion that deserved to be tamed and pampered.

I started off early dawn, before the rays of the sun warmed our small island. I set myself a target of finishing it early. Washed, clayed and the “hard-work-fun” comes into play.
No fillers, No waxes, just the usual Menz stuff and the rotary.

I was exhausted in the end. 2 days of hard work, non-stop. Painful back, goldfish eyes, popeye’s arms! I went out early morning the following day with all the pain. And my baby was there, so sweet, so cute, it smiled. The pain disappeared, I felt blessed by Almighty, reignited.
