Conan777 VA Local Detail '09 TSX Neglected for four months.
Just like to say, a big thanks to Conan for taking care of this for me and the instruction given so I can never have to drive down the road with my swirled paint job.

I shit you not, this car was only given to someone for 4 months while I was deployed to take care of it.. this is how i got it back..


I'm not entirely sure how to explain what we did, I'm sure he'll chime in in a few days and fill you in on any questions.. Just wow..

For all the pictures just follow the link here..


Before then after pictures..

Before:













... The hood up close..




The fender up close..




After...



The hood..




The fender..







Finished..






I'd load more.. but jesus will this take forever to load as it is..

Ryan, It was a Pleasure meeting you and you did a Fantastic Job today, The car looks Amazing!!
Ryan and I did a complete Exterior Polish of his 09 TSX. It was an early morning and we started at around 8am and finished right around 5pm. We used the Porter Cable 7424 and the Flex Orbital Buffers. After a 10 Min demo Ryan was up and running.
We used some Blue Compounding Pads with Megs #105 compound followed up with Menzerna PO85rd on a Blue finishing pad.
Topped with Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant
Unfortunately Image shack is not allowing me to upload most of the pictures I took so these are only Some of the BEFORE Shots I have. There are some great 50:50 shots of a door panel but Image shack is saying the file is too big? Ryan maybe you have some of those on your camera??? Enjoy! 

Maybe I dont have the right network.

If you have a trusted person, shoot me a name and number. I have 2 bikes, the RL, a truck, and a Lincoln town car ready to go for the right price.

looking for a referral for someone that can do this that is in ATL. My dealer just loves to royally F-me when I tell them no carwash, somehow that translates into "yes, run thru the car wash"

Fantastic work! Love the 50 50 shots. What is this Flex Orbital Buffer you speak of?

The car looks like it was dry wiped with dust on it a few times ... they were too lazy to wash it ..

Great work tho.
