Here are some pics of my MDX I detailed yesterday. Process is......



Wash w/ EO wet car wash

Clay while washing

AIO

NXT

dress tires w/ #40



I clay the whole car except for the roof and after I AIOed the roof it felt a little rough :rolleyes:. NXT was very funny, after I applied it to the whole car and after about half an hour, my garage smells like lime :D. Removing NXT is easier than AIO, maybe it's because this is the first time I detail my car?? I don't know. I heard somewhere that said NXT will remove AIO but I still did it anyway. Here are some pics. I will be doing more work in the summer including polishing with Menzerna twins with a PC.

Wow, an impressive absence of door dings! Every MDX, including my fathers, that I've seen have dents and dings on the side panels. I've always been disturbed how thin Honda/Acura makes their metal panels.

LOL :D. Thanks, I've been a good boy parking the car as far as possible to advoid dings.
 
Thanks :). This is the first time in my life to ever wax a car. Pretty good for a newb don't you think??
 
Wow! Great job! I love the MDX's.



I think NXT was soo easy to use because AIO is such a great prep for a final coat.

Ranney, your Ultra Fine MFs (yellow ones) are excellent for removing AIO, NXT and that final wipe :D. I love it :xyxthumbs
 
Good job!



Questions: When you meant clay while washing, do you mean you use the clay while you're using the car wash shampoo? or while you have the water hose next to you washing the car? It seems like a really good idea for a big car...

This is what I did. I wet the car with water, go over a panel with soapy water and a mitt and use that soapy water to clay :). When you're done, rinse that section and go on to another.
