A customer of mine called to have his sister`s MDX detailed as a present for her. Just wanted a good interior cleaning and the outside detailed. Nothing fancy, one polishing step would be fine.
We started like usual, an ONR wash while using the test Opti-Raser clay sponge.
The paint was typical of an 8-year-old SUV, although less bonded contaminants than I expected. Light to moderate spider swirls and one deeply etched bird bomb on the driver`s side C-pillar. All we were doing was one polishing step so I went with Optimum Hyper Polish using an Optimum microfiber cutting pad using my PC 7424 XP on speed 6. I`ve found that OHP and the MF cutting pad tend to do wonders on Honda/Toyota paints. I was not disappointed at all. Other than a few random RIDS and the bird bomb etching, the paint was about 95% corrected. Very noticeable improvement in depth too.
Here are a few before shots followed by the afters
A couple half `n half shots, first one the right side is unpolished, second picture, both sides polished
The paint was sealed with Optimum Opti-Seal, the exhaust tips polished with Optimum Metal Polish, tires/fenderwells dressed with Armor All, rubber trim, mud flaps, etc dressed with 3D Trim Protectant.
