Kei's detailed: 2005 Accord EX
I was asked by a good friend of mine to detail his girl friend's car, as he wants is GF's car look like a new car.
Upon inspection, this car sucks, i couldn't even count how many scratches it has, almost the worst "newer" car i have seen. I wasn't able to take much pictures, I didn't take many after shots, i really wanted to take some after shots under sun, however, I needed to return the car by the next morning, I had just the exact time for detailing, but not picturing.... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hope you enjoy! Wheel & types: P21S wheel Gel Jet Seal 109 Adam's VRT for dressing Clay: Sonus ultra fine clay bar ONR diluted Polish: Menzerna SIP with White Pads Menzerna P085RD with White pads Menzerna P085RD with Black Pads ISO 50/50 for inspection Protection: Jet Seal 109 LSP: Swissvax Concorso Equipment: Flex 3401 PC DA Swissvax Wheel Brush Swissvax Leather Brush Fenix TK10 The car.....

Pretty good job. The sad thing is she'll probably just run it through an auto wash next week and scratch it all up again

I just wash the wheels with P21S, then clay the wheels, finally, just apply Jet seal on the wheels, just like a wheel wax me too, i just loved to see how black color restores in its finest! Quote:

Kei, very nice transformation, especially considering you didn't use anything more than a polishing pad. It looks like the car could have benefited from a slightly more aggressive polish and/or pad combo for those deeper imperfections. You were able to produce a ton of depth and gloss by finishing with the 85RD and great protective layers.
Keep up the great work. George |
