Default Did some rejuvination work today...

Well, today I decided to do my mom's car which is a black 2000 Accord V6. The condition before hand was mediocre at best. I clayed the main parts (hood, behind wheels, mirrors, etc), then re-washed, and then got to work. I used the exact same procedure as I did in my previous post which Ill post up later on. The car hadn't been washed in some time except for some hack job by the Honda Tech's at the stealership. Anyways, onto the pics:

Umm, this is how it looked before hand...

And here are the swirls which you can see were very bad before I got to work.

Right before I washed it:


Now, I forgot to take pics of the process itself, but I used:
Wash with Meg's Gold Class
-Two Buckets
-Grit Guard
Dry with Microfiber Towels
SSR2.5 w/PC 7424 speed 6; Wolfgang Concourse Yellow Heavy Cut Pad
SSR1 w/PC7424 speed 6; Wolfgang Concourse Orange Pad Medium Cut
Mother's Carnauba w/PC 7424 speed 2; Lake Country Black Finishing Pad
Mother's Reflections w/PC 7424 speed 1; Wolfgang Concourse Blue Finessing Pad

Annnnd, now the results, Ill let the pictures speak for themselves:








Yea, that took about 6 hours, and I just did the outside. Inside is tomorrow, I ran out of light, again.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I appreciate it. And yea, mom was quite surprised because she didn't know I was doing this, so she gave me 100.00 (which I wasn't planning on getting). Woohoo! Anyways, yea, GO BUCKEYES!

Big lawns, beautiful houses. I'm just to used to these flat boring neighborhoods in Miami I guess.
