    from experience, how hard would the factory paint be on a 1993 honda civic? I`m trying to judge whether or not a pc would take car of some swirls, or if a rotary is required.



    (i dont have a pc yet, and dont want to waste my money buying one if it wont have any affect, or else ill be doing :waxing: all weekend)



    thanks guys!

    Just wanted to make sure it`s not white as it wasn`t CC`d back in those days and it`s rather difficult to correct. As long as it`s original paint, the blue shouldn`t be too hard to correct but will take time and the proper process.



    While that picture of the white car is nice, I know what 2.5 as a one step really leaves paint looking like. It`s not acceptable for *me* as it leaves all kind of hazing when not followed by something else.

    Hm.. What do you guys think of 1993 Acura dark purple paint? I`ll be polishing out our Acura during the summer and I`m looking to figure out which Optimum products I`ll be needing.
