2005 TSX - Paint polished

The steps were:
1. Wash with 2 buckets method + grit guards in both buckets
2. Clayed with Meguiar's clay bar
3. Polished with Prima Swirl
4. LSP is Menzerna Powerlock Sealant

Tools/materials used:
1. Cobra chenille mitt
2. Optimum soap (new formula)
3. Dodo juice clay lube
4. Griot's garage 6 inch ROP
5. Griot's garage 3 inch ROP
6. 5 LC 6.5 inch CCS orange pads
7. 2 LC 6.5 inch CCS red pads
8. 3 Griot's garage 3 inch orange pads
9. Plenty of towel from Cobra and Octane Guy aka Showcardetailing.com
10. Stoner's invisishield (Didn't feel like bringing my Prima Clarity)

Before pictures:

Car's so dirty it looked grey to me from far away (but then again I'm color blind, so haha.)











OMGWTFLOLBBQ this looked really bad in person








After polish/before LSP and final wipe:




After LSP:

I tend to get the hard colors for some reason (black/white).
I have a love/hate relationship with black cars, hard to buff (and wipe), but look so nice when done right.

I know right, the whole car exhibited a nice blue hue because all the blue pearls were popping like crazy.
