    Car hasn't really been washed since then, so decided to wash today

    Started as follows

    Rinse done
    snow foam, 3 to 1
    2 bucket method, don't know shampoo need to get some of my own
    dried off
    pro detailer by chemical guys to get to spots that were missed
    done some waxing later on in night, still looking good

    What you think ???

    Hey bud you know using the tcut is killing your paint? thats maybe why your car keeps going pink, because your clear coat has been polished down to a very low limit.

    Whats best way to bring it back to red? Never had a red car before this one so its a bit new to me! Has it got clear coat on red? Even with the srp u can get a little red on the polishing cloth

    By clear coat i ment lacquer, yes it does. Honda paint is really really really soft lol so does need a lot of extra TLC when working on I dont know the best polish to use on Honda's so I wont lie to you, give polished bliss a call! they will sort you out. I cant understand why you would have red on your cloth with SRP that would only happen with old school paints, Is it red Tcut? if it is thats what you will be rubbing off, as its just a horrible dye.
    Thanks

    Cheer mate, like i say didn't get to do the glaze which would have worked it down a bit more, i need to get stuff soon in order to do more correction.

    dave came me some pete's 53 that he had left, i think lol, just applying that the now, came up great for amount of dirt on it, as it parked on a road

    That stuff seems very price mate, was just going to get orbital and cut some more where more correction is needed. Go over with a glaze, seal then wax.

    What does this blackfire kit replace, as in, is it the sealant and wax ????

    mind i'm still learning,

    Needs some better photos taken. It is difficult to see the depth from such small ones.

    Protect your finish...

    Yeah thought so, ie that;s what i meant when said is it like sealant and wax, i seen that kit at 130 includes a wax ???

    I think you said you had the kit that cost 80 quid ?????, was in previous post ages ago when was talking about wobblys bbq,

    anyhow, need to get myself a orbital polisher and some polish, as i have the determination to spend days on it.

    Not going to be used as much when goback to uni so might aswell spend money on polish instead of petrol lol

    should get some better pic up soon, meeting dave a week on monday for a bite to eat on his way back down south, will get some ncie one's up then with the " silver bullet "

    I have the £130 one, yeah thats the wax too, not to sure how much I would rate the wax though it doesnt last that long. But the rest of it is really good to use
    Thanks
