Newbie: Just detailed my accord today some pics

[manmanSS]

Hey guys, I'm a newbie to autopia but I like detailing my car. I just got my Klasse AIO today so I decided to detail my 00 accord.



1. Meguiars GC wash.

2. Scartch X at some spots.

3. AIO

4. NXT wax



here is some after pics thanks

sorry for all these pics

Here is some of my work on my cousins M3

Awesome work. Did you use the same combo on the M3?

 

[manmanSS]

yes same combo

 

[NEW AGAIN]

The vehicles looks good, But how does the paint feel?

 

[Tasty]

Are you implying he should have had a clay step in there?

 

[manmanSS]

The m3 was clayed 2 weeks before those pics and my accord was clayed last week. So I guess they feel really smooth and nice. But I dont know what to refrence to. Any suggestions on how I should improve. I use a orbital rotary. The accord needs some help with some swirls, they are minor. What should it use for it. Also any suggestions to make the gold paint deeper.



I guess sorry for my newbie questions

 

[NEW AGAIN]

Sorry your steps did not include claying and you did not state that you clayed the vehicle before. Clearkote Vanilla Moose should help those swirls followed with a good sealant [EX-P] or 2 coats of NXT. Good Luck

Very nice! Looks really good and I think you will find the AIO/NXT combo is pretty durable as well.

I really liked how the aio/nxt combo looked and felt. Although any tips on making the gold look deeper. At the begenning of this season I used meg cleaner wax and then coated with nxt. I dont know wht but I felt it was deeper. It was not as shiny and smooth at the aio/nxt combo but it felt deeper. Any tips on making the gold paint look deeper



thanks

I think you did real good for first attempt, you kept it simple but did good things. Both cars look pretty good the BMW especially. Everybody's cars look good but sometimes the photography helps alot too, IMHO. Look at Scottwax's photos, he knows how to make them look sweet.

Hey thanks for the advice....I did'nt have time to do a photoshoot so I just snapped some pics. But I gotta learn how to make a car look good.

Very nice work. The paint on the Accord is very nice. I like the sun shot of the hood with all of the reflections, very nice for a light color in sunlight!



Do I need to say anything about the M3, I didn't think so! Very nice work on both!
