White Honda

[sparkie]

I went back to basics on this one with XMT polishes in the process… . It is a 1998 Honda Accord with 130K. Temperature was around 31* F, I hate cold weather. I like to think my wife for helping me out. Maybe I can make a detailer out of her yet…My pressure washer kick the bucket, yep she is old and I can’t get parts anymore for it. I think I got it around 1994…

Looks Good Sparkie! How many passes did you take with the XMT #4?

Nice job Sparkie. Looks like that old Accord has rust spots already. What all was on the carpet in the front floors? Folex worked on the floor mats.

I've got to try the DG #201 - your trim always looks amazing.

Nice job. Haven't seen much on the XMT polishes. Neat to know they work at 31°!

Bought my PW @ Homo Depot almost a year ago. It works quite well.

DG has a great line of products...I started out with M105 but it was acting up, it was gumming up on me...So I pulled out my XMT....
