This is my coworkers Honda Accord Type S. He used to have a Honda Civic TypeR, which I detailed a year ago.
The paint wasn't as bad as on that Civic, but I still couldn't make a 100% correction due to a one working day. Some deeper rids were left behind. However, the overall condition is better than before.
It was a one step polish, except the rear bumper, which had two steps.
I did the outside detailing only.
The process was:
1) Pre-wash
- Korrek Lensitil BR Solvent Wash Spray
- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam
2) Wash
- Turtle Wax Big Orange
- Two bucket method + Mother's Sheepskin Mitt + mf mitt
3) Claying
- Zaino Z-18 clay
- Turtle Wax Big Orange as lubricant
4) Polish
- Menzerna PO106FA + Lake Country CCS White polishing pad (used most of time)
- Menzerna PO85RD 3.02 + Lake Country CCS Green Heavy polishin pad (used as the first step on rear bumper)
- Flex XC 3401 VRG
5) LSP's
- Autoglym Super Resin Polish
- Red Moose Machine Glaze
- Collinite 915
6) Tires
- Autoglym Instant Tyre Dressing

Thanks!
The paint was unbelievably soft compared to my own car...
At first I didn't believe I could hit it with only PO106FA and a white pad to achive some results.

Nicely done. Well you certainly have a career in detailing if your current career ends. Eric must have worked up one hell of a sweat.
