93 Honda Accord. Swirl City!!

[03COBRA]

Well my Aunt Kay's B-day was a couple of weeks ago. So I decieded as a gift to her, I would detail her car for her. I had no idea it was something she had always wanted to do. She thought it was a luxury thing to have it done. So here it is.

She had been pretty good about washing the car over the years. However, that car wash came in the form of a gas station car wash. This thing had brush swirls/scratches all over the thing. The reflection was pretty bad, if any at all. Now to the results.

Process:
--Wash (Meg's Gold Class)
--DACP Via LC Cutting Pad w/PC On 6 (X2 on Roof, Hood, Trunk)
--Poorboy's PwC Via Meg's Polishing Pad w/PC On 6
--S100 By Hand

--BnB On Tires, Trim, Wells
--Meg's APC on Wheels, Wells, Lower Panels

Before reflection of hood:

After reflection:

These are dog scratches on the trunk, notice the antenna?

Now you see the antenna!

Hood Before:

Hood After:

Roof Before: Notice no reflection at all?

Roof After:Notice a nice reflection?

Hood before in shade. Notice how dull?

Hood after in shade. Notice how clear?

Front fender, notice all of the small car wash scratches, no shine?

Front Fender, notice how wet the look is.

Now the finished pics:
--Wash (Meg's Gold Class)
--Menzerna FP II Via Meg's Polishing Pad w/PC On 6
--Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant By Hand
--Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax By Hand

--Meg's Hyper Dressing 2:1 Wells, Trim, Tires.

in the words of my college friends when drinking a lot....."Good job duuuuude". Looks really good. Huge difference. I wish I could find someone with a car looking like that so I can bring a shine back! Detailing new cars isn't as rewarding as that.

Looks great ...
My compliments to you on the pictures too.
Many times people take before and after pics at different angles or different lighting to make their work look better than it is ... Yours show the actual results

Great Pictures. I agree with Kimwallace I love the before and after pictures it really gives you a good idea of the work you put into it. The results are defiantly something to strive for.

You obviously did a great job on the detail, but I am equally impressed with what a great job you did of documenting your work!

So many times the before and after pics are just too different to make good comparisons because they are taken at different angles, under different lighting etc. These are all very close to the same angle and lighting.

Congrats!

Nice work. I bet she felt like she had new paint! Having a detailed car isn't just rich people with bling.......

You said. That's how she felt. She is terrified of driving it in the rain! But I told her the hard work is done. Now I can come by every couple of months and polish it up a little bit and she will be good!! Thanks for the comment.
