Here are some pics of my MDX I detailed yesterday. Process is......



Wash w/ EO wet car wash

Clay while washing

AIO

NXT

dress tires w/ #40



I clay the whole car except for the roof and after I AIOed the roof it felt a little rough :rolleyes:. NXT was very funny, after I applied it to the whole car and after about half an hour, my garage smells like lime :D. Removing NXT is easier than AIO, maybe it`s because this is the first time I detail my car?? I don`t know. I heard somewhere that said NXT will remove AIO but I still did it anyway. Here are some pics. I will be doing more work in the summer including polishing with Menzerna twins with a PC.

Wow, an impressive absence of door dings! Every MDX, including my fathers, that I`ve seen have dents and dings on the side panels. I`ve always been disturbed how thin Honda/Acura makes their metal panels.

Wow! Great job! I love the MDX`s.



I think NXT was soo easy to use because AIO is such a great prep for a final coat.

Ranney, your Ultra Fine MFs (yellow ones) are excellent for removing AIO, NXT and that final wipe :D. I love it :xyxthumbs

Good job!



Questions: When you meant clay while washing, do you mean you use the clay while you`re using the car wash shampoo? or while you have the water hose next to you washing the car? It seems like a really good idea for a big car...

This is what I did. I wet the car with water, go over a panel with soapy water and a mitt and use that soapy water to clay :). When you`re done, rinse that section and go on to another.
