Here`s a green CRV that I did last Saturday... wonderful paint, factory paint but it seems to have a shifting color thing going on... from one angle it looks dark green, from another angle it looks dark blue... :) very nice metallic flakes...



The car had A LOT of SEVERE waterstains and etched (pitted) acid rain "rings" on the hood and roof...



Before shots... (AFTER WASH!)



Hood (note that this is taken at around 930-10AM where reflections should be at it`s clearest)

Take a good look at the bright spot... Those marks are etched into the clearcoat. Kinda like a crater already. The whole hood was full of these.

The cars look great! I also noticed the Steelers logo reflection! :up I`m a little confused, you`re in Manila? Why is there a Steelers logo there?

Awesome job! :xyxthumbs Gotta love the masking tape trick!



What did you use on that huge front plastic bumper?

I just taped off the edges, not the whole thing... only where the buffer "may" accidentally hit the rubber parts... Oh, I used a thicker tape as well (2")... it`s more than enough... :D

Oops sorry, what I meant was what type of protection did you apply to the bumper.:p
