  • 1st time with PC, test section on '92 Accord

    Here are a few picks of a section of my Dad's 1992 Honda Accord. This was my first time with a PC DA polisher and I just wanted to see what I could do. This area was extremely oxidized and needed help real bad. When the weather gets warmer I am going to do the whole car, but for now all I got done was the section around the passenger side windows. I started with #80 on a 8006 pad to see what that would do. It helped a little, but I decided to move to #83 and worked that in on an 8006 pad, doing 2 applications. After that I went with one more pass of the #80 and here is what I got.

    Before:




    After:




    There is a major difference. In the spring I will do the whole car as a way to practice and work on my technique. The paint on this car is so bad that I can only make it better, so I will use it as practice. Then, I will do my car, a 2001 Acura Integra. The paint on my Teg is pretty good, but there are some light scratches from using the self car wash in the winter time. Please give me any advice that might help me improve on what I have done so far and thanks for checking this thread out.

      Looks Great! The purchase of a PC was well worth it huh!?

      Looks like you are getting results with the process you have set up. Really the only thing I can think of is ColorX first to remove the oxidation. Mybe someone else will chime in with their thoughts.

          I will definitely take a whole lot of pictures when I do to the whole car. Meguiars-Online has given me a whole wealth of knowledge and having articles with pictures really helps. I definitely want to give back to the community. Will applying the Color-X first really help a good deal? My car is silver and since I am only now beginning to get into serious detailing, I haven't yet purchased any products that would be mostly dark color specific. Any suggestions on products would be welcome... Color-X will be on my list now!!!

                THe befores and afters are quite dramatic. And to think this was your first time. Way to go , you know what they say,"practice makes perfect" think how great the car will look then.

                      Thanks for the positive comments and encouragement. Thanks Mike, I definately have the passion, I'm just working on the know-how and experience now. I am about to graduate from College, so once I'm done I will have some more time to dedicate to become more "Car Crazy" as Barry would say.

                        I think what he meant Arne is that we are in a league of our own and that we are an elite force.. Also to some people miracle workers..

                          It was an ironic joke from my side
