Detail: 2004 Honda Accord

[RUSSH]

This was definitely one of the most swirled up cars I've ever done.



I started off by soaking the engine compartment with Simple Green.



Washed with Auto Magic EZ Suds

Clayed

First stage was with a yellow pad and Auto Magic BC-1(setting 5 on PC)

Second stage was with a white pad and Auto Magic BC-2(setting 5.5 on PC)

Third stage was with a blue pad and Auto Magic Wet Wax(setting 6 on PC)

Glass wiped with Stoners Glass Cleaner

Tires, fender wells and engine dressed with Auto Magic Dress-it



Before and after shots of the engine

Some before shots of the paint

Right half of the hood done with first cut

Full hood after the first cut

I didn't get the full results that I wanted, but very satisfied with what I got. I ran out of sunlight so I didn't get any good, true after pics, but the car was definitely improved.

Great job!



With the simple green, what dillution factor did you use?



Also, did you just spray it on, let it sit, and the rinse it off?

Actually I didn't dilute it. I just misted it over the dirtiest areas, then let it soak for a few minutes.

wow, no washing it off? just let it dry before you used the Auto Magic? Looks great!!!

Definitely a huge improvement!

Wow! Looks absolutely great. Swirls have been minimized, perhaps even eliminated, and you left it with that deep, glossy wet look. I'm sure they will be a repeat.

Looks like a stellar version of Honda's typical "Milano" Red. Or maybe they call it something different these days.

nice job :up ! those acura (TL?) rims don't look too bad on that either...

Looks nice! But why do you apply wax on speed 6?

I like the wheels as well...they really bring out the overall look of the car.

I always have. No cutting or cleaning is involved. I still move it about an inch per second to make sure that all areas are covered.

That Auto Magic Wax is something else

Very nice depth.
