  2. Bugs, faults and irritations (8G)
    Hi All this being my second Honda civic 8th gen, after almost 14 years since I had my first one. I had purchased it in generally good nick, the dude I bought it off had it valeted and it was for the most part clean. However... the glass in front of the tachometer had a watermarked effect, and...

    Hi everyone, I bought a 2006 1.8 petrol Civic two weeks ago, and loving it! There are a few teething problems, but nothing out of the blue. One thing that's bugging me is that the front right (driver's side) windscreen wiper arm is covered with a white-yellow colour. It looks like it's...
  4. This is How To ... (Guides Only) (8G)
    When I bought my 2010 FK3 there was bright green mold all around the rear light cluster. This is a well-known fault with the 8G Civic and is to do with water/soap getting trapped in the light cluster drainage channels and turning green. This is much like the pond scum you'd get on any poorly...

    Hi all. Got an 08 nighthawk black civic type S, and it's looking a little worse for wear compared to when I bought it a year ago, and is just in need of a little TLC. I have been browsing over the cleaning forum for quite a while and in short I don't even know where to start product wise as...
  8. General Discussion (8G)
    Hi, anyone got any recommendations for cleaning up/restoring the plastic wheel arch trims, mine a re looking decidedly faded. I do remember there used to be a product on the market called Back to Black, but not sure if that's suitable, or even available anymore.

    Hi guys, My mate called me the other day to say that some inconsiderate person had left a small scuff on his door whilst he was at the shops. I said I would have a look and whilst I was at it, give his car a wash and some of my new Soft99 Fusso Dark :) Anyhoo, on with the show... How the car...

    Evening, A while back, Tom contacted me to give his 8th Gen a good machine polish. Alas, the weather ruined our plans and he has since got rid of his Type-S. It looked as though I was never going to get to work on his car! With the weather being constantly crap and the nights getting shorter...
