Hi Dr_Pain :) I wasn't referring to the black paint, i didn't mean it is soft just because it is black. Just that people tend to say Honda paint are soft. You are right, we will never know until we do a test spot. :xyxthumbs:

Got it, i will be careful on the soft paint. Another pic which shows there are swirls all over this car.

Hi Geeks, :D Just thought i'd consult you all before i try to remove the oxidation on a Honda Civic. This is my plan:- 1. Wash the car. (ONR) 2. Clay. (Either Pinnacles or Opti-Eraser) 3. Compound with a DA. (Opti Hyper Compound Spray + orange CCS pad) 4. Compound with more aggressive...

Cannot have many polishers? How so? :confused:

:iagree: I did it by hand, it just takes some time to get the job done.

Agree! :xyxthumbs: Okay i got it! Thank you!

Hello Geeks, Recently i'm starting to think that DA works slow for me, it always took me at least 8 to 9 hours to compound + polish + wax/sealant a car. I heard tons of good reviews on XC3401, and after watching the "DVD - How To Use the Flex 3401 & PE14 Rotary Buffer", i'm planning to get a...

Weird, i can see the photos in my thread... I've now attached them as thumbnails, photos are named corresponding to the numbers.

Not quite happy with my first attempt at headlight restoration... :( Can anyone please point out any mistakes below? 1. Soaked sand papers in a water bucket for 15 minutes, few drops of ONR added to the water. Picture below shows the condition of the headlight. 2. Wrapped the sand paper...

I'm just got one "How to Start a Home-based Car Detailing Business" for myself. As Mike said, this is a good book, so many areas have piqued my interest and i marked up most of the pages with a highlighter! :dblthumb2:

Went to all the local hardware and machinery stores, i showed them my PE14 and the double-sided adapter, they looked at me like i'm a weirdo. :dunno: However i managed to find two of these available online. Not sure if i'm allowed to post the link here, so i just posted the picture and brief...

Hernandez, rzatch, Mike, thanks for the guidance! ;) First thing i will do in the next morning is to get an extension for M14 thread pitch from local hardware store.
