Park Avenue Detailing: Honda FIT

gtpaul · 09-23-08, 08:00

This car was covered in touch car wash swirls. Luckily Honda paint is somewhat soft!
There was a long deep scratch from someone who keyed it, and as you will see it was somewhat hidden after wetsanding with 2000/3000.

Process:

SIP/OP with Orange CCS
PO106FF with Green CCS
Collinite 845IW by hand

Great work! I agree with the paint being soft, on my FIT I was able to take out most defects with a PC

Thanks a lot Paul for the information.

So, you use this as a pre-soak to make sure every area of the paint is "lubrificated".

I'm starting to write a list of products/accessories/etc that i need to build a "good detailing kit".
I'll add this item for sure.
I'm not ready to start buying now, but when i'll be ready, i'll make a thread to ask questions and opinions on different product.

Thanks again.

the great thing about the foam gun (unlike the foam cannon/lance) is you can use it to both pre-soak AND wash the car. as i've said numerous times, i don't regret purchasing the foam gun one bit and is worth every penny IMO. it will definitely come in handy in the winter with all the mud, grime, etc..

I use it generally on dirty cars to loosen off dirt. Others use the foam gun to provide lubrication for washing.

I Foam>Rinse>Wash>Rinse>Clay>Rinse

If I get a lot of compounding dust after I'll foam because it get's in the cracks and loosens it out.

Must have IMO
