Honda paint frost white

[pocon1]

OK, so I took another whack at my car, a 98 integra frost white, paint code nh-538. Apparently it is not clearcoated. Is white single stage really just that tough? last week I used perfect it 2 with pc on 6 and a green sonus pad. Made one good pass over everything followed by megs #9. This week I decided to try my new poorboys polish. Used 2.5 with new lc white polishing pad and ssr 1 with white pad. Seemed to be a little glossier, but I still found some scratches that I think should have come out. Should I have tried the yellow lc pad? Appreciate any responses.

yellow or orange or ssr3 for really deep scretches.

I find the yellow LC pad really steps it up for helping the polish cut. You should def try the SSR2.5 with a yellow pad. I did and got great results. The "deep" swirls you may either need more the a PC or simply more aggressive polish. Remember there are certain limits that a PC can obtain and to which polish you can use with a PC. I have learned to live with it....of course until i get a rotary

I have the exact same paint on my Integra. What I did was.

Clay-bar
AIO x2
Z5 x3
Z2 x2
NXT x2
Natty wax x2

There is mad reflections now, considering the paint is 14 years old, I had the Zaino bottles sitting beside the car, and I had near perfect reflections.

I will have to try and post some pics, very soon.

Thanks for the replies. its not so much that I have deep scratches, but that I cannot seem to make a dent in them. I don't have any swirls but I have what looks like tiny little pinpricks in the paint. You need a good light to see them, but I am trying to see how far I can take this.
Hadboosttroy, I looked at lists of honda paint and according to several websites frost white paint is not clear coated.

if thats what they say fine i guess, but check out honda-tech.com and do some searches and i think you may find otherwise.

According to paintscratch.com, frost white and championship white do not have a clear coat. Every other Acura integra color for that year does.

2003 Hondas in white arent clearcoated either

Frost white, isn't clear coated, from Honda/Acura dealership

So, from what I have read, this pain is just hard as heck? That I need to attack it more aggressively to make a change in it? Is it that much harder than say Volvo or Range Rover paint?

My '02 Odyssey is white and has a clear-coat!
