I can see the same water spots on the spoiler and right by the tail light that I could see in the before pic.
BTW, still working on that project for you. Just been consumed with work and life. Let me know before it gets to the point where you cant wait anymore.

My usual job runs me around 2 hours and I dont use 1/3
of the products you use. Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 14, 2009, 02:59:56 PM Quote from: "evo6011" How long does it take you to detail it? My usual job runs me around 2 hours and I dont use 1/3 of the products you use. it took me about 4-5 hours to do just front hood and fenders and somewhat wash the car (including claying which i forgot to add to list of products) thats why ppl who do it charge so much for this, and its well deserved couse time,skill and patience it takes to do it is not to everybodys par Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: v6sicksspeed on May 14, 2009, 03:11:24 PM man, i wish i had time to do this now.
last weekend i did a ton of repair work and did a minor detail to the car, but nothing like this. Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: skizot on May 14, 2009, 03:14:15 PM Now that I have gotten into detailing on a whole new level, just washing the car the right way can take a couple of hours, if you factor in the time to correctly clean the wheels, arches and wells. This is before you would even touch the car with clay, polish or wax. Now factory in the time it would take to clay, polish, wax and detail the rest of the car and also how bad the condition of the car is in when you start, no wonder why it can take some detailers upwards of 20+ hours to do it the right way. WELL DESERVED what they make is an understatement, but so much more fun to do it yourself.
Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 14, 2009, 03:19:24 PM i wish i had just black without pearl. for some reason i dont like it right now. but maybe couse its seems easier to see paint correction on paint without pearls and it will look more black
Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: AV6NHBP6SPD on May 16, 2009, 09:05:17 PM did one side today. looks a hell lot better now same panel just several shots(thats actualy rear panel thats in first post
this is result of menzerna IP->PO106FA->85RD->po115 and FMJ (although half of this if not more was only after IP) (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t55/sy272004/Car%20Details/My%20accord/IMGP0258.jpg) (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t55/sy272004/Car%20Details/My%20accord/IMGP0257.jpg) (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t55/sy272004/Car%20Details/My%20accord/IMGP0256.jpg) (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t55/sy272004/Car%20Details/My%20accord/IMGP0253.jpg) Title: Re: Started Detailing my car Post by: Deep Gloss on May 16, 2009, 11:14:11 PM Much better... glad my suggestion on polishing steps helped out... I can def. see tons of micro marring in the half that was not done that was left over from your previous polishing session with power gloss and orange pad combo...
