So here is the final result with my trials and tribulations of super soft honda paint, and trying to get the most possible correction within a time/price limit. After the customer picked up the car, he was very pleased with the work, and I went over with him how the paint was going to look in the sun, and even showed him under my different lights just what to expect (picked it up at night time). I was able to get arounf 95% corrected though..

Aaron, I can't thank you enough for detailing the car for the price we had discussed. I still would like to have the opportunity to buy you a nice dinner or something since you worked so diligently the whole time it was in your posession.

I have no problem admitting i haven't a clue when it comes to washing a car properly other than soap and water, but now I will be sure to be calling you before every wash to make sure i'm dong things right.

EVERYONE THIS MAN IS GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES!!!!


Thanks for taking care of her for me Aaron, i wasn't worried at all the whole time. You're a cool down to earth guy with much to teach about keeping the S looking sexy

Wow, the car looks great. Nice improvement.

I plan to get one soon. But I've seen people hit cars with 4-5 passes of wool and M105 and then finish all the way down perfectly and not even remove .5 mil which is pretty good. Which PTG do you use?

Oh yeah, I was just talking about in general that you can hit cars fast and heavy, and it'll be fine. I do agree about the paint thickness though, I was just making a generalization. As far as compounds, I just ordered M105 because PowerGloss is just garbage. I was also thinking about M85 and M95, how do you feel about those? I was thinking that M105 is so versatile that I wouldn't need a "less cut" heavy hitter.

I want the defelsko, but can't justify the $600 for it. There was one that someone recommended to me that was only like $280, and I think it read in microns as well. Damn jake, we need to talk more! I know I could probably learn a lot more from you, we should meet up some time

Done!

Speaking oh "heavy hitters" This is my next venture, Im looking for something stronger, but not sure where to look. It seems as if most people like M105 or M95, or the Menzerna alternatives.

Whats the difference between M95 and M105 as far as cut/gloss? And how does it compare to the Meznerna?

My strongest combo is Menzerna IP(not SIP)and PFW/orange pad, should I get SIP AND M95 or M105??

Great job!

Yea, I am definitely going to have to get the car detailed. I am just waiting for all my mods to come in so it can be camera ready =P
