Started as a simple wash and turned to much more

My sister has a 2014 Acura TSX, black I might add. This car has some nice body lines. She knows not to run the car through soft touch car washes, so she doesn't wash it. So she asked me to wash it before The wife and I headed back to Tennessee. I brought with me a majority of my arsenal but left behind my Menz polishes.

As I wash washing I noticed the car wash trashed, bug gut baked on, bird droppings with some etching, sap, and some water spots. I would not be happy with leaving with a wash and waxing over it all.

After washing I went to anauto parts store grabbed some White wax and tarminator and went to town.
Products Used:

CG Honeydew 2bm with micro chenille wash pad
Stoners Tarminator and bug sponge
Nanoskin Blue sponge with ONR clay lube dilution
Eagle1 AtoZ for the tires (2 passes)
Durgloss all wheel cleaner with a small wash pad and a wheel whoolie
Meguiars White Wax mixed with Ulrimate Polish applied with HF DA and LC White Flat Pads
M26 applied with LC Blue pad
Megs Hyperdressing 1:1 on tires and wheel wells
Aquawax on the wheels
M40 on flat plastic on mirrors and between side windows
Eagle1 never-dull wadding polish for all metal surfaces

Sorry not may pics but time was limited as we needed to get on the road. It needs a good two step correction.

The White wax was not giving the results I wanted so I added to 2 drops of UP with 2 drops of White and got acceptable results. I threw on the M26 over top just because it is easy to use and looks good on black paint.

Looks good.

Next time try using white wax on a cutting pad like an orange flat LC pad. It ups the correction. I used it that way for this truck that I did.

That turned out great! Ford paint is rather hard and can take the extra cut from the pad and finish great. The Acura how ever was soft, I test spotted the orange and it left some marring. That how I came up with adding a little Up my dad had to it.
 
Well I last week I asked my sis how she was doing to maintain the car. So she sent me a beading shot.

Apparently leaving work at night she ran over this uploadfromtaptalk1435018670781.JPG

I guess I will be cleaning up the buffer trails from the body shop now Lol

Yeah, that was actually a new bumper too, about three months ago a dog ran out in front of her. The dog was ok, the car got a new chin.
