These are pics of my 07 TSX. I greatly appreciate the help all of you have offered, therefore without you my car would have never came out this way. I have not been able to download pics of the interior but I need to add them to this later because it looks GOOD.

Here it goes!!

This is my hood before.....check out the swirls


Hood After.........No swirls...All you see is the blue flakes in the black paint!!



Before....again swirls galore!


After....poof gone!!








I just like this pic. You cannot see anything, just think it looks cool. It looks dull but I guess it was the lighting!


Not sure if you can tell but this is a pic of the trunk. The shadow is the underside of the spoiler. Under the spoiler TSX is engraved and on my camera you can read this off of the reflection. Awesome, see if you can notice it!



Well that is all. Thank you to all that made this possible. Like I said before I will be adding new pics from the interior at a later date.
For all the NOOB's (even though I am one too) listen to these guys I am living proof that they know what they are talking about.

I want to send out a special thanks to Patrick and Danny. You both offered support, techniques, and advice which allowed me to reach the desired outcome.

Kyle, you did an awesome job. Welcome to the world of detailing. I guess now you can say you're an obsessively compulsive detailer/enthusiast.

What were your tools or weapons to tackle all that?

Just nice to note that i guess for ppl who want to follow your awesome work.

Nice job, please list your products and process!!!

Wash: Meguiars NXT
Clay: Grey bar and Lube kit
Polish: Poor Boys SSR2 (PB SSR2) with a white and orange pad (had to do it twice due to amount and depth of swirls/scratches) I started off, on a small section, with the white but that did not work the way I wanted it to so I used the orange all over then used the white again to finish.
Sealant: Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (UPP) with the green pad.

I used a Porter Cable (PC) 7336, and a 6"backing plate. The pads came in a kit.
I also used a bunch of Micro Fiber towels.

I got everything from Excel Detail. Like I said Patrick is amazing. He is extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Good luck and thank you for all of your comments.

I know for sure he used a PC with a 6" BP and some polishing pads (Polishing Kit?), clay bar, I think SSR2 for removing swirls and for the LSP - Four Star UPP. Oh, I forgot, MF WW towels for drying and MF buffing towels. Most or all the products/accessories, I believe, were purchased from our authorized vendor, Exceldetail.
Kyle, this one's yours and you get to explain the process as well your experience . . .

Kyle, simply amazing..........Be patient my friend, you will get even better! Once you have played with a few products, you'll come to find what to expect with each product. I cant say enough, "learn product characteristics" and your on the road to Ultimate Paint Care...You did a fine job for a first timer.......(PC wise)...

WOW ... those swirls have been pissing me off for AGES and now I can get rid of them... You should paste a link to this in the DIY thread in the TL forum. I don't think anyone has posted anything about detailing
