    2016 Accord new car prep

    2016 Accord new car prep. Why dealers don't do a proper prep is beyond me. Lady was beyond happy with the results.

    Decon of the wheels and paint



    Deep foaming coverage with the foam cannon

    Clayed, paint prepped and inspected, and ready for 2 rounds of sealant. One a synthetic based sealant, second a hydrophobic acrylic resin

    Sealant done

    Interior prep



    Wheels coated with sealant and tires treated

    Final round of sealant completed on everything ( plastics, rubber, glass, trim)




    Final inspection

    Looks shiny to me!! Were there any minor/major defects you had to correct along the way?

    Very few minor ones. It was in really good shape actually for having sat on the dealers lot for a while, which means they likely ran it through the tunnel paint raper at least a few times.

    Looking good! What did you use to seal up the trim plastic and rubber parts?

    Surprised you didnt have to do any minor polishing after claying it. My accord had crazy marring....definitely needed a once over with a polish. How I wish I had white paint :P

    There were some light touch ups needed here or there, and that was done, but nothing wide scale.

    Trim, chrome, and everything rubber but the tires I used the hydrophobic sealant.

    They were 2 that aren't sold here, unfortunately.
