Default Detailed: 2006 Acura TSX on Work Emotion CR-KAIs

Wash: Meguiar's Gold Class shampoo and chenile wash mitt, 2 bucket method with grit guards
Clay: Mother's clay bar from the local Advance Auto with 1:1 Meguiars D155 Last Touch as a lubricant.
Wash again.
Correction: Meguiar's M105 Ultra Cut, G110 DA machine, and W8207 polishing pad.
Polish: Meguiar's M205 Ultra Finishing Polish, G110 DA machine, and W8207 polishing pad.
LSP: Blackfire Wet Diamond, G110 DA machine, and W9207 fishing pad.
Loads of microfiber towels: Meguiar's Water Magnet for drying, Meg's Supreme Shine and ADS Premiums.

Here is what we were left with after washing and claying:


Scratches and water marks in the roof:


Hood:


Bird droppings etched into the hood:






Cat claw scratches:




Scratches in the door handle pockets:


The hood has some pretty bad streaks in the paint too, but they were tough to capture with a camera:






Spots and streaks on the rear trunk lid too:

The paint on this car was extremely hard. Time to order some more aggressive pads! After SEVERAL passes using Meg's M105 Ultra Cut Compound:

Cat scratches are gone and we now have some clear reflections:


Bird etching and streaks are gone from the hood:








Streaks and other problems on the trunk lid were taken care of:

This is my woman's car. It looks so freaking good. Chad is amazing!!! I spy my S2000 in one of the pics!

The car will get a "photoshoot" soon.

I recommend Chad for any of you guys to get some detailing done. I'm too lazy for all that work. The S2000 is next.
