The car was pretty mangled, scratches, swirls, and so forth.

I had to wetsand some scratches.



Process;



2x Menzerna Powergloss, yellow via PC speed 6, hood and trunk

1x Menzerna Powergloss, yellow via PC speed 6, sides/roof

1x Menzerna 106FF, white via PC speed 6, everywhere

1x Optimum Poli-seal, black via PC speed 4, everywhere



I am really impressed with the outcome as most of the defects were removed and the car no longer looked like it went to some Leb Car Wash.

During: (top/leftside completed, bottom/rightside untouched)

The TSX looks great!!! I have the exact same one, except with ebony interior.



I am surprised you needed to go to the extent of using PG with a yellow pad x2 though.



I've never needed anything more than IP and an orange pad to get out some pretty good scratches on my car. I swear my car has some of the softest clear I've ever worked with. I can actually get 90+% of the swirls out with just FPII and a white pad.



I'm wondering if there is a difference in the clears between US and CAN markets???
 
This was my first time using PG so I figured what the heak, and gave it another go to see if it made a difference on the trunk and hood, it got 90% of the defects out the first time..



Is there anyway to make PG dust less?
 
Nice work on the black TSX.



You can add some RMG (25-30%) to the PG. It will reduce dusting, but somewhat reduce the cut.
 
Nighthawk Black Pearl is an amazing color. My 2001 Prelude is that color and it just looks amazing when done right. Good job!
