Agreed, Finish Kare 425 (FK425) is the bomb!!!!

Surf City Garage's Speed demon wax detailer, is also a good product to use to keep dust away.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be sure to check out the products mentioned.

So far the sealant is holding up great, Ive driven through a lot of buggy nights,intense downpours for hours and a few hail storms (NY WTF?) and it needs a handwash again. Water still sheets off nicely. I'll let you know my findings and report back on the initial durability and ease of the wash.

clay
dry,
tsr,
glaze,
sealant, removed with mf towel mounted on buffer pad using the pc
instant detail spritz, removed with MF towel by hand.

No tire shine I know.. I didnt have the one I wanted, I dont like the glossy wet look so rather then put it on, I'm waiting for the Wolfgang which has a nice satin finish.

Anyway the only complaint I have is the car attracts an incredible amount of dust. I followed all the steps properly and let it cure longer then recommended in ideal conditions but it looks like my car went through a field of flowers in a matter of hours. I used the instant detail spritz afterward and it cleaned up very nicely but still almost seemed staticly CHARGED. I purchased this kit not only for the tsr but for the claims of it giving debris no foothold on the paint.

The surface is super slick and I'm just wondering why this would happen. I have yet to hand wash it after this process which was recommended to me but I have driven it through a light rain for about 5 mins which left some water spots due to pollen stuck to the car. A tad disappointed and wondering what could be wrong there.


Anyway, C&C is welcome and thanks for looking.

i have wolfgang total swirl remover 3.0 but have not used it yet from looking at them pictures of the rsx it came out clean and bad ass. how bad was the swirls before? i've used the wolfgang paint sealant 3.0 and i find that i have the same problem with staticly CHARGED when buffing off the product other than that i like using product

Very nice work, the reflection is super. It may be hard to maintain, but black is beautiful when properly polished.

The swirls were not bad but apparant at any close up of the paint in the sun. I believe the product is great. I realized I only worked it in about 80% of what I was supposed to do and it left me with about 10% of the original swirls remaining but these were large circles with large patches of perfect paint in between. I wasnt upset by this because I realized this after I had sealed so next time I'll really work it in.

Again thanks for all the comments, this forum has taught me so much and I still have a lot to learn but the support is what truely makes this site great.
