My friends poor 1995 Civic dx



Those pictures are taken after claybar, its covered in oxidixed paint/swirl marks/water spots you name it. Im not sure about how I should approach this, Im thinking AIO / Opt Polish / Ex-P / Wax? Maybe some SSR line up? Any help or advice would be great! I want this thing to bling!



Maybe OHC?
 
Go first with a paint cleaner like Megs Deep Crystal polish by hand to get rid of the oxidation...The aio should work as well. Try applying it by hand because the oxidation ruined a couple of my pads
 
go on with the makita rotary and #80 (or #83 if heavily swirled), with W8000 pad. then your LSP... AIO might not provide desired cut as I see in the picture... :hifive:
 
OHC + orange pad

OP + green pad

Your choice of sealants or waxes.





SSR 2.5 + orange

SSR 2 or 2.5 + green

Your choice of sealants or waxes.

Hmm, SSR2.5 w/orange pad @ 5k-6k OPM will cut it. If that dont work, I would try Optimum Compound. Then follow up with OP w/polishing pad. That will take care of those haze,swirls,etc.
 
I am guessing it's cleared so it won't have any oxidation. AIO won't do anything for you especially if you use it prior to Optimum. You would want to use AIO after your leveling stage.



You'll most likely need a rotary, a cutting pad and a compound like OHC or PG. Then choose a pad and polish to remove the swirls/haze from the compound step. Then continue down the aggression pad/product scale until you're happy with the results then use your AIO if you like, then seal it.
