I have been on the hunt for a car for months. I had found tons of potential cars but they always failed my inspection because they had paint issues, too many defects, poor repairs, or general issues that I just didn't want to deal with on a new(to me) car. I knew I was asking a lot but I was not ready to give up on my search or sacrifice what I wanted so I was patient.

Enter this 2010 TSX. Found it at a local BMW dealership, one owner, immaculate service records, great price, and had all the features I wanted. It passed my inspection, and I only found 2 paint chips on the entire thing. Low mileage for the year too. Took it home the same day and I've been chipping away at things over the past few weeks trying to get it up to my standards. I documented my progress. Sorry for the sizing issues, this is all copied/pasted. Please let me know if you have any questions! This is my first contributing post here, looking forward to seeing everyone's work as well.

Congratulations on your purchase. Car looks really good, better than it ever was!

Can you please share what was the prep work done to get this finish. What swirl remover etc. did you use to work.

Thanks again..

Nice job, what product did you use for the exhaust tips? Mine are getting pretty bad.

Oh sorry all, never saw that I got any replies to this thread. Here's my process:

I used only M205 from Meguiars, with some spot correction done with CarPro Fixer. I have a Flex3401 so the power was enough to push through any bad swirling without using too aggressive of a compound. The car was finished with a paint coating - Optimum Gloss Coat.

The exhaust tips were done with P21 Polishing Soap and some Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish.

Just curious as to what product you used on the Door Panels, black trim (sunroof and wiper cowl) and what you used on the key to clean it up.

The car came out amazing!
