Worked on this Accord, right next to the AMC Javelin.

Car was left outside for few years under trees. The dirt was thick and hard like a varnish.

1. Iron-X'ed the paint---The varnish like dirt didn't allow the iron-x to reach the paint!
2. Took 4 buckets to just wash the darn thing!
3. Then redid iron-x. Worked.
4. Washed one more time.
5. Soapy water/Clay towel. Clayed the car.
6. Rinse and Dried.
7. Deep cleaned door jams and hood/trunk channels.

This took approx 4 hours just in the wash!

1. Pull inside and did test.
2. BlackFire One step/Rupes yellow pad and CBeast. Meh....dull haze like surface was still there.
3. 3D Speed and McKee's Redline polish pad and CBeast. Bingo---It actually cut the surface haze.

Thanks to CBeast and forced rotation, Was able to get this done in 3 hours! Record for me!

Total: 7 hours.

Onto pictures.
 
Keep rolling....
 
Gotta keep going, don't stop now...
 
After polishing with HD Speed....
 
Holy Lord.

You are a better (more ambitious) man than me, Tommy. Lol

Great save, my friend. :)
 
White is so rewarding when it goes from yuck to Bling! Great turnaround on that Accord.
 
Wow!!!! Incredible work and patience!

Amazing before and after! To do all that in a day the owner must’ve been thinking they witnessed a miracle
 
Good quality work.
Now the client can be happy with his car, instead of wanting to trade it in.

Wow! Can’t believe someone would let it get like that. Nice turn around

Are you sure it wasn't buried in the ground instead of under a tree? It certainly appears that you brought it back from the dead.
 
TMQ-
When I looked at those photos I thought the car was silver underneath all the grime. LOL

I guess then that whatever fell on the paint acted as a sealant to stop any etching. Your work was exceeding the customer's expectations and perhaps your first thoughts too!

By the way, just tried my CBEAST and yes, it is a real charmer. I am no longer getting dizzy watching the plate spin and stall.

Bring on more great results but find something less challenging, that was a long 7-hours.
 
Epic transformation Tommy! Wow. Very well done. It's a completely different car now!
 
looks great,,I can't believe someone would let a car get like that,,especially with the retail value of an Accord being so high
I was in the market for one of those last week after I totaled my 2010 Black Accord on a deer hit,,I would have even bought one in that condition but the prices on used cars in through the roof at the moment so I bought a nice little Equinox AWD instead.

Keep us posted on your experiences re CBeast!

So far loving mine and I'm able to reduce a 10-13 hour detail down to 8!

Love being able to go fast. Gosh how much faster will it be if I had the corded Beast?

Wow, thats a total turnaround. I don't understand how people can wait till the cars end up like this!

I would REALLY like it if anyone can make a video on this. I would like to clean the hood and trunk channels of my cars but have never been successful.
