Hi, Last week, I had to have my front bumper repainted on my 2013 Honda Civic EX sedan. The color is called Crimson Pearl, which is a burgundy color. A shopping cart left a long ugly scratch that I could not live with. The auto body shop I use is a highly respected AAA approved shop in Central...

Interesting....so ALL the experienced, professional detailers here who are machine polishing out swirls are actually doing more harm that good?? Or with the proper technique, no harm is done? To me it just seems logical is every time you buff/machine polish, you are removing paint and...

Well, I figured I as least give it a shot. But again, they are so minor I have to point them out to anyone! I was told by the manager of a very reputable auto body shop in my town that you really should NEVER machine polish your car's finish, just to get rid of light swirling and spider...

Hi, For the VERY light surface/spider webbing scratches I have on my trunk lid on my 2013 Honda Civic, I brought some Meguiars Scratch X and plan on applying this weekend. Do I have to than re-wax after using Scratch X?? Or is the Scratch X all I would need? Also, what type of applicator pad...

Hi, I have a 2013 Civc EX, in the Crimson Pearl color, which is a darker, burgundy red which is just 3 months old. Unfortunately, due to sloppy and poor dealer prep, I have some VERY light spider webbing/surface scratches on some panels, most notably so on the trunk lid and front hood. These are...

2013 Honda Civic EX, 1521 miles.

Unbelievable! Again, I ask why on earth would I lie about my detail here?? When I said I had VERY light swirls, they actually were more like VERY fine spider webbing, but spaced out and not tight like swirling, if that makes any sense. The pictures I have taken will not be able to see this...

Well, I took a bunch of great pictures right after the detail that I have ready to go and post, but I just cant figure out how to attached them to this thread. This forum for pictures doesnt seem very user friendly. If someone here would be nice enough to assist me, I can post the pictures!

Are all Quick Detailer sprays pretty much the same....Meguiars, Eagle One?

Well, for $180.00, to my eyes, my Civic looks amazing...mirror finish and smooth and slippery as can be.It sure looks like the nicest Civic in my area, and they are TONS of them here in Central NJ! No other Civic I see has a mirror shine like mine.

Sounds good...I will pickup both than.

Hi, My detailer used Blackfire Total Polish and Seal as the last step for my 2013 Civic EX. Which Meguairs product would be the appropriate one to use for light touch ups on top of the Blackfire....the Quick Wax spray or the Quick Detail spray? I was thinking one of these products would be a...

I dont know if he measured the paint thickness or not. He did not mention that to me.

I read that machine polishing removes just a minuscule amount of paint, so if you own a car, lets say 12 years, a once a year polish should not be problem for the life of the car removing too much paint, is that right?

Hi, I had my initial exterior detail completed on my 2013 Civic EX. He machine polished out all the light scratches and some swirling and finished with a sealant and told me im good for about 7,8 months. So going forward for my next detail in the spring, would he need to do the machine polish...

Wow..not a single response!

I dont get it, guys...why so critical and suspicious of my detailer?? My goal going in was for him to remove all the light scratches and minor swirls from sloppy dealer prep and he accomplished that. ALL the scratches and swirls are gone, and he applied Blackfire polish sealant and my Civic...

HI, So when my 2013 Civic is due for its next full exterior detail in the spring, I will attempt to do it myself, with hand application since I like in a condo community with no hose or outside electrical outlet. I will use the 2 bucket ONR system, but I would like advice on the best sheapskin...

OK!
