Honda Integra Type R

Well-Known Member
This Honda Integra Type R has been off the road for a while, stored away gathering dust.
The owner is taking it to the Retro Rides gathering at the end of August and wanted it freshened up for the event.
I know what you're thinking... it's not a retro car. I thought that too until I was reminded that it's 15 years old now. The DC5 shape has really stood the test of time in my eyes.
On arival the car had very badly ingraned dirt all over it.

First up, the wheels were cleaned using Auto Finesse Imperial, with Verso used on the tyres and inner arches.

ODK Arctic snow foam was used to soften the surface dirt and grime.

Worked into the window rubbers, badges and trims with a few detailing brushes and Auto Finesse Verso.

The car was filthy with lots of heavy dirt so a strong wash of Chemical Guy's Citrus Wash & Gloss was used to break down as much as possible during the contact wash.

The car was carefully washed, rinsed, loosely dried and the tar and fallout was removed.
Auto Finesse Iron Out pulling loads out of the paintwork!

The entire car was then clayed using a clay cloth and the Chemical guy's shampoo mix.
 
Inside it was looking much better already.

good work as always, RRG has a cut off at 1994 or specials that were already in production then, personally i dont agree with the dc5 being able to be in anything than the normal car park. i hate it when i see hords of imprezas turn up, dont mind the classics but last year there were nearly new motors there
