98 Black Honda Accord (worst swirls and holograms ever)

[david11g35]

So my buddy told me about a week ago that he had bought a daily driver at a auction but the car had lots of swirls and was in bad shape he asked if I would take care of it. Last night he text me if I wanted to do the car today July 4th. I said sure bring it over so I can start on it tonight. When I saw him pull up my jaw dropped. I told my self what did I get my self into. Personally this was the worst paint I had seen on a car. It looked like it was washed with scotch brite and lots of holograms. So I got to work last night and finished this afternoon. Megs Mf pad and D300 made easy work of the car I was very impress also colli 845 was great and easy to use.

It took about 6hrs today for the correction and everything. Megs D300 and MF pads made easy work of the car. Last night I worked on it for about 3hrs. washing,claying,taping up and the test spots. So about 9hrs in total

Why do clueless people even attempt to make cars look nicer?

I mean.... did the guy that work on that paint really pat himself on the back and go home thinking he did a good job with it? He should be banned from ever "buffing" anything but his ballsack ever again.

Great save man.

Thanks.I know this was a repaint so the holograms where most likely made at the body shop. There was compound in every crevice.

Great turnaround. Awesome work. would have been amazing to see the before pictures in the sunlight, if they looked that bad in the night I cant imagine how they looked in the daylight. Great results it looks almost brand new. Those 9 hrs probably make you feel like a million bucks in looking at the before and afters.

It was pretty gloomy the whole morning in a way it was good because i didnt need to take out the EZ UP.The sun didnt come out till about 2hrs after i was done. But yeah it would of been nice to get so sun shots

That looks great! I have a white one and they are often cursed with oxidized paint. Awesome job!

Holy crap that was tore up! Great job. I have come to realize that the megs MF system works great on softer paint. Harder paint, BMW etc., I have not had that type of correction. Again great job

The before and afters of this Accord just guaranteed the Meg's MF system on my next order. Nice save on that paint!

 

[Armenakadino]

That is a pretty crazy turn around, Nice work.
