2020 RDX Detailed

Took parts of 3 days...bones are too old to do in 1 day anymore..

Day 1 Wash/Clay
Day 2 Polish (Meguiar's Ultimate Polish0 and Wax (Meguiar's NXT 2.0
Day 3 Second coat of wax, trim etc

One weird thing happened. Was finishing up today...went to start the car..and no start... Dead engine battery. Not sure why. Maybe jI left it in accessory mode..but I read if you do that for an hour it shuts off..to save the battery. Charged the battery and it 'seems fine'. Gonna get it checked tomorrow..

Looks great. I detail cars as a side gig and wifey drivers a black RDX. Black cars look beautiful when clean, but look like crap when they get dirty. Did you use a random orbital polisher? If so what kind of pads did you use?

Yeah I used the Meguiar's MT300 with 5 inch Meguiar's yellow soft buff pad. Also used a PC 7424xp with 3 inch pad. Pad was just some random white polish pad. Used the MT300 for the most part but used the PC for smaller tighter areas

Applied the wax by hand with foam applicator that came with the bottle of wax
