In my past years of driving, I really haven't cared much about my vehicle (a 99 Dodge Dakota) in the past, so I just Dawn soaped the bastard every time if I wasn't dragging it through a car wash.

I definitely am not going to do that with my Si.
A good line of products for beginners is the Meguires line. I use Zaino personally, and like you this is the first car i've cared to detail at all - I am very pleased with the Zaino products I have.

The retrofit - you know how BMW's and higher end cars have projectors and HIDs? The really bright white lights... well there is a vendor on this site customlightz who will take your headlights (gotta send them out to him) and for 300 in labor + parts/shipping (look at another 500+) he can retrofit those projectors into the civic headlights. A lot of people on here have them with great success and if I could afford it I would go for it as well.
