Turkey Day Detail....discretion advised!!

i had to take some pics of my sisters car i just detailed on turkey day....her car sits outside allday and bakes in sprinkler water.

it was so dirty, and covered in so many water marks it felt like sandpaper.

i hit it with a coat of 4stars medium cut , which got rid of the water spots but not the swirls....so then i hit it with PBs 2.0 that tackled the remaining swirls. sealed it, waxed it.

wow please dont let your car get like this









after 4stars....still swirls, but those are up next.





hard to tell cuz its getting dark because it took so long










how bout that pearl paint...hondas are so forgiving

i have swirls in my paint i used scratch remover and hi-tech wax all made by meguires. When i was done i could still see the swirls but not as bad. How did you make them not visible anymore? Great job on the car BTW

the swirls you see are after i used the Four stars medium cut polish, but then i hit it with PB 2.0, and that product really is a life saver. it got rid of almost every swirl, i used it second just because i think it is better with swirls than 4star, but i think 4 star is better with water spots, and some other things.... but really the PC is the tool of the trade. and should get all the credit

oh and i dont really know if the paint is NBP, but it looks damn near the same as mine..so ill go with that until i find out what its real name is.
