Before going more aggressive, make sure you're doing enough passes/pressure/product. Honda/Acura paint is soft and doesn't take much to correct.

Also curious what compound/polish, pads, and buffer you used. And on the # of section passes.

Great choices but I'd go with m105/205 to start with instead of that ultimate. "One step" stuff sacrifices usually on both sides.

Gotta love that XP eh? Thing is amazing.

This is what I use...Love it!!! I don't use a porter cable though. I use a high speed buffer polisher and a 3M perfect-it soft black pad.

After 30k highway miles ive finally saw the damage done to the front. Top of the hook is a small chip that went throw the clear coat almost to metal. very small but when you see it, it kind of pissed me off.

That should correct the swirls but not the orange peel. Orange peel has to be wetsanded and buffed out. Not something a novice needs to venture into. You can really fubar your paint.

What kind of cloth are you using to remove product from the car? If you are using the wrong cloth, that can leave swirls.

He wasn't the main detective, but another one. I think they only showed him twice, both times on TV when somebody was watching the news.
