First Detail Ever, 2007 Honda Accord, Nighthawk Black

[brig2221]

I wanted to brag a little and show off my first REAL detail job ever. I have been washing cars since I was a little kid with my Dad. Only in the past few weeks searching this forum and few others like it, have I been able to figure out how to correctly detail a car.



Here is what I did:



Wash

Claying

Wash

Klasse AIO

Topped off with P21S Carnauba



Here are the pics. Let me know what you think!

looks good...you`re on your way to a full OCD diagnosis like the rest of us.:lol



any plans to work on that celica i see in the garage? :bigups

Looks great!



I bet it`s dirty already! haha. I keep telling myself my next vehicle won`t be black..but everytime I wash and/or wax..it`s worth it!

It`s funny that you say that.



It is our third car, my wife`s baby. It has sat in the garage for the past two years and has only been used twice. I spent nearly the whole weekend on my new car. I shutter at how long it would take me to do her given it`s condition. It also has a leather interior that needs work bad!



To answer your question, yes, I plan on tackling the Celica. I plan on purchasing a PC soon, and I think her car would be the PERFECT tester for product and technique. I will most likely get to it this summer.



If I get that one done and done right, believe you a me, I will have some tremendous before and after pictures because the before pictures are going to be atrocious!

nice...you`ll be surprised how much the celica will improve with a PC. enjoy!

Very nice! Really wet looking shine. :) Too bad no sun to capture the blue flake though.



BTW, you should slap David McDavid for putting their horribly ugly dealer emblem on your new car. A heat gun and dental floss will have it right off though... ;)

[brig2221]

I was going to ask about how to remove those things. You are right, I HATE them!



What is a heat gun, and where does the dental floss come into play?



I have seen others say take a hair dryer to it to melt the wax underneath and then remove, but that just doesn`t sound right, or good for the car for that matter.

Looks awesome and it`s the only colour. Enjoy!
