Park Avenue Detailing: Honda FIT

[gtpaul]

This car was covered in touch car wash swirls. Luckily Honda paint is somewhat soft!

There was a long deep scratch from someone who keyed it, and as you will see it was somewhat hidden after wetsanding with 2000/3000.



Process:



SIP/OP with Orange CCS

PO106FF with Green CCS

Collinite 845IW by hand

Great work! I agree with the paint being soft, on my FIT I was able to take out most defects with a PC

Thanks a lot Paul for the information.



So, you use this as a pre-soak to make sure every area of the paint is "lubrificated".





I'm starting to write a list of products/accessories/etc that i need to build a "good detailing kit".

I'll add this item for sure.

I'm not ready to start buying now, but when i'll be ready, i'll make a thread to ask questions and opinions on different product.



Thanks again.

the great thing about the foam gun (unlike the foam cannon/lance) is you can use it to both pre-soak AND wash the car. as i've said numerous times, i don't regret purchasing the foam gun one bit and is worth every penny IMO. it will definitely come in handy in the winter with all the mud, grime, etc..

I use it generally on dirty cars to loosen off dirt. Others use the foam gun to provide lubrication for washing.



I Foam>Rinse>Wash>Rinse>Clay>Rinse



If I get a lot of compounding dust after I'll foam because it get's in the cracks and loosens it out.



Must have IMO
