Been on detailing forums for a long time but never posts. So this will be my first writeup.

Car was pretty swirled up as you will see in the pictures. Client has been waiting all semester for me to finish school so I could work on the car. All pics are taken with a Iphone 4s, so they are not that great and photobucket seems to lower the quality.

Anyways here was the process"
GG6 with Meguiars and Lake country cutting microfiber pads
Primed with m205 and compounded with m105
ONR Wash because of so much dust
HD Polish on a tangerine pad to finish out
Another ONR Wash. There was a lot of dust with HD polish also.
Carpro eraser
One coat of BFWD

Here is how it looked after first washing it.

Somewhat of a picture in the sun. the sun was going down by the time I finished compounding the hood.

50/50 shot after compounding

Finished pics. Forgot to take pics in the sun when the client came to pick up the car

You can see a box of more detailing supplies that came in the day I finished that included Buff and shine MF pads. I wanted to compare all 3 MF pads, but that will have to wait till the next detail.

Good save!

With those big guns, you can prob compound and polish by hand.

Great job there on the black paint.

Great work, my Accord is NBP as well. Super soft paint with a ton of factory orange peel... What a PITA!!! However, when taken care of the flake really catches you by surprise and really pops out in the sun and that makes all the hassle well worth it.

Lol - He actually just scares the paint into submission... Nissan created their self-healing paint after observing his results.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

LMAO Wheelzntoys and Custom Care. I get the same kind of comments with my friends. Makes me feel right at home here

And I agree about the paint. My bro has a 2012 Accord coupe in the same color. Been about a 1 year since we polished it but it still looks great even with the orange peel.
