2015 Honda Accord - new car prep w/ CQUK

[Corey@OptimalDetailing]

This is my little brothers 2015 Honda Accord. He recently graduated from the University of Central Oklahoma and I couldn't be much prouder. He has been saving some serious money for when he did graduate so he could treat himself to a new car. This was my treat and my gift to him, free new car prep w/ CQUK, he certainly earned it.

After multiple phone calls, questions, concerns, and tips, he ordered his new car specifically requesting the dealer NOT TO TOUCH IT! They did a good job and with 2700 miles on the odometer, he finally got a chance to drop it off to me. What was odd was only the driver side had some type of build-up that Iron X, clay, and several APC's could not get off. So we polished away and saw a drastic improvement.

Products used:
2BM - Chemical Guys Citrus Wash n' Gloss

Decon - CarPro Iron-X w/ Meguiar's fine clay bar

Wheels - CarPro Iron-X

Tires - Shine Supply Wise Guy, dressed w/ Chemical Guys VRP Dressing

Polish - Shine Supply Classic Polish

Machine - Gloss-It Evo21 w/ Meguiar's 5" Polishing Foam Disc, PC 7424 3" w/ Lake
Country polishing pad

Protection - CQUK on all paint and wheels


Pre-Wash photos.

Very minimal defects throughout the car. The goal was to enhance the gloss to a serious level then coat it.

Post-polish.

The metallic was trying to jump out of the paint!

Drivers side front door build-up.

I really started to fall in love with this paint.

Beautiful work there Corey! Nice in depth picture documentation show what you did.

I'm sure your little brother was overly ecstatic with the way it turned out.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks all! This was a quick in-and-out job due to the holiday weekend my time was limited.

Mike - I didn't take as many pictures as I would have liked or that I usually document. Wasn't much to it besides a few select areas and my family had a weekend packed full of events to attend so all of this was completed late at night or between everything! I do thank you for the compliment though.

Very nice job.

Love it! And he will love the coating too because this paint scratches very easily even with good wash/dry techniques.

Truer words could not be spoken...

My Accord is covered in scratches, and I barely even drive it.
