Swirl judge needed.

The manager even indicated that he understood my concern and admitted that their detail shop was not set up to produce show cars.

Who says you were asking for a show car? All you're asking for is a swirl-free car...

If you end up doing it yourself, Menzerna SF 4000 should do very nicely on a black Lake Country CCS pad. If they don't come out, step up to either Menzerna PF 2500 or Sonax Perfect Finish on a green CCS pad. I have had amazing results with those products on my 2013 Honda Accord Touring.

If you need samples, I'd be happy to send you some.
 
You could go with Meg's ultimate compound and ultimate polish if you want to do it by hand until you get the PC since its available over the counter.
 
According to my latest calculations...



An easy fix!!
Now...Let's discuss the package's total cost!!

Bob, some of your posts are just a little too over my head. Care to explain that last one? Ha

Lol his post was sarcasm, the formulas shown are just random functions that have no relation to anything detailing related.
 
Trust me, I really wanted to fix this car myself, but I am impatient and can't wait till Thanksgiving. I'm still getting a PC so I can fix my family members' cars. The detailer doing my car is going to let me watch and he even offered to teach me. I'm very excited because I've been bitten hard by this bug.

I borrowed some M205 from a buddy of mine and I'm going to try it out on my fiance's civic this weekend. Super excited.

I say correct it with Megs MF cutting pad... 205.. D300 for deeper defects..

then coat it with opti coat!

keep a spray wax on it monthly... maintain regular washes ans it will be a breeze to maintain the dreaded black beauty!


you'll be very happy and won't be pulling your hair our constantly with black paint

:props:
 
First; I agree with everyone else, what you're seeing is very minimal and easily corrected. That's just the type of problem that the hobbyist could and should be doing. Gives great satisfaction knowing you did it yourself when admiring the results. ;)

Show car finish? Seriously?!?!?!
Me don't think so. The management, detailers, and everyone else at your dealership that can be corralled into looking at it needs to be taught how to *lightly* buff paint, and what it SHOULD look like. :rolleyes: More often than not all they know how to do is whip out a rotary and tear into it. Using a DA (IE PC, GG, even Flex or Rupes) is totally out of their wheelhouse.

Credit where credit is due here. You are taking FANTASTIC strides in your washing methods. Using not just two, but three wash mitts is fantastic! :props: You're well on your way to swirl free nirvana my friend. :D

Now moving on to your choice of detailer for the correction. As far as calling it at two-stage flawless correction process to fix it.... I dunno' about that. I mean I can see using a two-stage on it, but that'd finish out fine with a single stage. Just fine indeed. Maybe one product and two stages of pad even. :dunno:

But then again, if you're doing OC over it then you do want it PERFECT before that goes down for sure. ;) The cool part about what you've said is he's willing to let you take part in
the correction process. That is priceless! :)

Enjoy that time spent, and make sure to not only take notes, but I'd say a good tip might just be in order. Remember, without you being there he'd be whipping through it in much less time. Sharing tricks, and teaching along the way is what you'll see a lot here on AG. (Although I've seen that many a 'pro' detailer outside this group doesn't want to go down that road.) Sounds like you're in for a fun day that's for sure. :dblthumb2:
