Thanks. Actually this is my third time to use DA. After first try, the results are not very good below the sun shine. I know I do something wrong.
So the second time I use my wife's prius to test
, and I found that at speed 6, I can use more pressure with better efficiency.
The pics above is my third time using DA.
Each time you will learn something, which makes us improving next time.
I will say detailing is addictive.

Like with everything, patience is the key. Kudos to you for keeping at it even when your first result were only

It definitely takes time, and you'll learn something new on each detail. I'm glad to see it worked out so well for you on the third try.

Wow! Nice job there! I guess the 3rd time was the charm haha! Now with the proper wash technique you can have your TSX staying in that condition with only the need for a light polish with op in say 6 months or so. Keep up the great work and say goodbye to your free time as everyone is. Now gonna want you to do their cars next

I really appreciate all the comments. I even show these to my wife (she always thinks I am too crazy about detailing), now she change her mind.
Here I have some other question about how to use touch up paints. I know I can find lots of info from google. But I just want to get some 'direct" impression about these touch up paint: recommend or not? how difficult to use? what should pay attention to? Maybe I'm too worry about messing up.
