JDM Accord, A Black Beauty

Gen2

New member
This JDM Accord is less than 1 year old but due to improper maintenance method, there were scratches, swirls and spider webbing found all over the car. However this is not the main reason why the owner came to me, there are some kind of stain marks found mainly on the bonnet and the front fenders (looks like some overspray but cannot be removed by claying).



The process is as follow,

1. wash and clay

2. IP/RMG mix (70/30) + Orange pad + DA @ speed 5

3. Clearkote Vanilla Moose + green pad + DA @ speed 4



Here’s a side by side comparison of the before and after,

This is the stain I am talking about and it took me a few more passes with IP/RMG to clear that out.

5. Buff off the residue with JW Carnauba Jett with MF towel by hand

Thank you going through the posting, any comments or questions are welcome.
 
You have got to be kidding. That is the most shiny reflective black car I have ever seen. Great job and nice pics, especially that last one!
 
Is it a real JDM Accord, or is it an Acura TSX with swapped badges and a body kit? It looks like they got the full Mugen body kit
 
WOW! Outstanding work and photos. That shine is beyond anything I've ever seen and I'm sure it looks even better in person.
 
Honestly dude that is the most beautiful black car I've ever seen... MAN is that shiny!!



Great work dude very very very nice :)
 
You did an amazing job, gotta love a clean black car!



Is it me or does everything about that car say Acura with Honda and Accord badges? The headlights, tail lights and body lines are an acura TSX. :think:
 
And Canada too!



A TSX's engine is slightly different. I think outside of NA the Accord is know as the Inspire, but it isn't 100% the same. The last gen of inspire was a TL...its quite confusing.
 
Ok, that makes sense. I like that "car" with the Accord badge on it better than my wife's American Accord. The body styling is very nice!
