Detailed a blue Honda Accord Coupe V6 today. This car doesn't get many washes and sits outside for the majority of the time. Paint was pretty swirly but since the CC was pretty soft, I didn't need a vary aggressive combination. I would say 90% correction was achieved.
Prep:
Dawn wash
Megs mild clay / ONR as lube
Wheels:
Megs GC shampoo
FSU Wheel Cleaner Gel
Megs APC 10:1
BMT Matte Tire Finish
Zaino Z2 / Z5 50/50 mix w/ ZFX
Polish:
Megs M205 / LC orange
Megs M105 / LC white
Straight IPA wipedowns
LSP:
Zaino Z2 / Z5 50/50 mix w/ ZFX
DG AW (wasn't sure about this step but I did a wipe down anyway
)
Trim:
Black Wow
303 AP
Total time: 5-6 hours (got side tracked by lunch and some other stuff)
Now onto the pictures!
Before Pics:
Ewww :ugh:
Wheels had some serious caked-on brake dust. Looking forward for trying some P21S wheel gel and a EZ Detail Brush mini.
Sick.
Lots of swirls... paint was dull... no wax... pretty beat up.
Progress pics:
Micro-marring after M205 / LC orange combo. Damn soft CC!
The rest of the pictures were taken after a M205 / LC white pass.
After Pics:
I read a thread where someone used Zaino Z2/Z5 mixed instead of using just one. Mixed them up in a ZFX bottle with a 3 drops. I thought the end result was pretty nice.
Sun was going down so I didn't get any good sun shots.
Reflections look nice though!
The metallic flakes looked amazing!
Black Wow'd!
My TL without its bumper :tongue:
Thanks for looking! C&C welcome.
