Try some isopropyl alcohol for the top. It's very hard to remove sling once it's dried on there. Next time throw a large towel or blanket on it. Ask Phil in the Detailers Domain thread, he may recommend something. Next time tape up your door jams so you don't get polish build up in there because that too is hard to remove. You're learning grasshopper.

Looks great!


That dent looks like a good candidate for PDR (Paintless Dent Repair).
Check with your local Honda dealer and see if they can recommend someone.
I’ve had small dents like that removed from my previous Honda and my wife’s Mercedes.
Both came out flawless and cost less than $100.

nice work on black.

in the last pic, you can wee some wax/polish build-up where the base of the mirror meets the door. q-tips are your friend in this department.

nice keyhole covers too!

Nice job. I'm going to detail my car this weekend. I just hate all the effort and in a few moments the swirls come back. The dent can be fixed. Call your local paintless dent repair. I recently had a dent removed from my hardtop. Took him about 5 minutes.
