Another Magical Honda..

Magic · 12th June 2012, 21:11

Hey guys,

Here's some highlights of an EP3 I had in with me for a couple of days last week for a full fat enhancement - single stage polish, engine bay and interior detail.

The car was that bad even under flourescent lighting the difference is very noticeable..

Some headlight restoration - 2nd time on a Honda in as many months!!

And when it was finished - nothing fancy on this one, just a single layer of Dodo Supernatural Hybrid.

Interior and engine bay

Thanks for looking guys. Would normally do a full write up but short of time this week. Having a good run of Honda's, have a forum members in later this week.

Cheers,
Matt.

Thanks for the comments guys. Apologies it's only a part write up - those of you on my Facebook will get to see the full lot when I get half an hour spare to put it on! I'll try to answer your questions below;

Hi mate, due to the awkwardness of the paint on this particular car and some areas which had been resprayed it wasn't a case of one pad one polish as it normall is with most of my single stage enhancements. A breakdown would be as follows;

DA with Gloss-it polishing pad and 3M Ultrafina.
Rotary with LC-HT finishing pad and Ultrafina, and Scholl S40.
Resprayed front bumper needed Rotary with Gloss-it light cut pad and 3M Extra Fine.

The paint was soft and sticky! Lots of fun

Not this time - did that on the DC5 I had in back in April. This time it was a wool pad and Scholl S3 Gold via Rotary.

Thanks for the comments guys. Got a nice close-up shot of a 50/50 so you can really see the change in clarity - the metalflake was virtually none existant beforehand;

I have a few process pictures too if anyone is interested?
