This is a re-post. I tried posting earlier, but accidentally posted twice. The wrong one got deleted, so I'm going to re-post the entire thing. Sorry.
My CR-V now has about 5,000 miles, so I thought this would be a good time to give it a maintenance detail. I gave it a thorough correction with M205 when I first got the car in May. Since then, there's been just a bit of marring, and a few scratches/chips here and there. Nothing major, just the normal wear I expected out of a daily driver.
Here's what I started with.
The inside was worse.
Here's a nasty scratch. I don't know where it came from.
So here's the process
AutoGeek Foam Cannon (Awesome product!)
DP Extreme Foam wash soap
Pinnacle Microfiber detailing Mitts (I love these too!)
Daytona Wheel Brush
Cobra Guzzler HD
Cobra Guzzler
Wolfgang Paintwork Polish Enhancer applied via PC with 5.5" LC Green Pad
KSG Applied to headlights, taillights, and all "fake-chrome" pieces
Mother's FX Spraywax for the wheels
Opti-Bond for tires, wheel wells, and plastic trim.
Dodo Juice Blue Velvet Wax
Dodo Juice Purple Haze Wax
After the Wolfgang Polish Enhancer, I changed to a 4" low profile orange pad and M105 to attack the scratch on the hood. M105 ate that scratch for breakfast. M205/white pad cleaned everything up and made it perfect again.
Scratch
Fixed
