2004 Civic EX magnesium
Took care of my sister's 2003 Honda Odyssey today (sorry, no pics).
Wash, Clay, and then PB PP followed by EX-P. This was the first time I had used PB PP and EX-P (before, I had used AIO, SG, and UPP at various times).
I was impressed with easy manner in which EX-P went on. I did need to "spritz" some water onto the app to make it glide better, but I had some new mini-bottles especially for that.
She also had a 12" scratch across 2 of the driver-side sliding doors. I hit the thing with SSR 1, 2, and 2.5 with the PC and a SONUS Orange pad at Speed 6 for about 20-30 seconds each time. I even tried rubbing some 2.5 by hand with a MF and also did 2 swipes with Meguiars Scratch X. The scratch is much better -- before you could see it from 15-20 feet away, now you need to be right ontop of it to see it. I am going to order some SSR 3.0 and see if that does the trick. I ran my fingers over it and it SEEMED like I could feel the crevice, which I believe indicates that the scratch is deep and might need a professional. But I'm not sure -- it is borderline (maybe part of the gash is deep, and part is on the surface?). Anyway, it looks alot better and maybe the SSR 3.0 will do the trick.
How long does EX-P last, assuming the car stays out all the time? I may re-wash it next week and add another layer of EX-P to give it a bit more protection, would like the car's finish to last through the NY-NJ winter if possible.
Sorry I've been away, been busy, will try and post a bit more often.
