I currently own a 2006 Civic Si, Fiji Blue Pearl. Each time i bring my car in for maintance, Honda washes my car. After a while i have notice that my car has swirls and probably some scratches.. I need someone pro in San Diego area to help me out to make my car paint look fresh again. Apprecite the help.



Thank You
 
Thanks again everyone. If it works out with 06CIVICSI, I'll have to ask him to post some pics so other people inquiring can see the quality of my work. The PM indicated he wanted to restore the paint to new...and that I can do :)

Her I am. Too bad there's no sun in our County today for some full-sun pics.



Twas a 2-step buff job with a few exeptions:

-First step was PO106FF via rotary with Orange Lake Country Variable Contact pad at 1500 to 1800 RPMs with lots of pressure

-Second step was PO106FF via green AB pad (P2) at 1200-1500 RPMs with light pressure

-Finished with UPP (owner did the waxing which freed me up to perform extra buffing as needed).



Overall, I'd put the paint at 95% perfect...I think we'll have a proud owner on our hands, as you'd be hard pressed to find a vehicle on the road with less marring. We might even have an "Autopian" in the making - though I was buffing with a rotary, I offered to give him a lesson with the PC, but he wasn't ready for that. Next time. :waxing:
 
Oh yeah...after I finished, I noticed the driver's side real quarter panel was still in bad shape, as it had been repainted by the dealership. I sanded out a really big dirt nib, rebuffed with orange LCVC with HTEC+OP, then repeated the original two step buff process.



Also, the outside (verticle) portions of ALL FOUR fenders had really deep scratches, so I polishes each of these an extra couple times. Apparently, the dealership has ran this car through their onsite machine wash several times, and I strongly suspect the brushes or blo dryer portion of the wash uses plastic rollers that run along the car to ensure the proper distance, as the scratches were all identical and ran perfectly lengthwise. some of these scratches are still their (we'll "catch up" to them next time with some compound and a little wool if necessary).
 
And did I mention I love the 106FF + orange LCVC combo - it really cuts through the swirls and leaves a nearly LSP-ready finish. I seriously think I only gain about 20% more cut by going with a "compound" like PG or HTEC+OP combo, which really tears the paint up compared to 106FF.
 
Any new pictures with full sun reflecting off the paint? We gotta show these guys were not hiding anything (though there is a slight amount of deeper marring remaining in a few spots, not any that will show up in a picture) :)
