Very nice!

I just finished up doing my 2013 Crystal Black Pear Accordl EX-L Coupe... I also had a 2013 Civic Si Sedan, they look so nice in TW like yours!

That looks awesome. I just got the exact same car and just ordered all new supplies for it. I am excited for my first black car. I am going with Blackfire Polish then wet diamond, then a coat of souveran a week or so later. Great Job looks awesome

I just sold my Habenero Red Pearl Civic Si. It was a sad day! I loved that car, had it since the end of 05. Got good money for it and needed a four door.

thanks. It's def a pain to take care of a darker colored vehicle compared to lighter colored ones. My friend reminded me that after a wash, dust will show up on the paint in a couple of hours.

thanks, I don't own any fancy foam gun. Just got one from harbor freight for $7 lol. Best $7 I ever spent

Nice Work!

I have a Rallye Red 2008 Civic Si, what machine polisher and pads did you use. I'm afraid of learning paint correction with my soft paint.

Also does harbor freight still sell the foam gun? I can't find it.

I LOVE it. The Si is a fun little car but I missed a lot of the creature comforts of the Accord; push button start, dual zone climate control, keyless entry, leather, touchscreen audio, etc.

The Accord V6 Coupe with a 6 speed is a 278hp beast, 5.7sec 0-60, and a nice way to go.

I did everything by hand lol, and nice! 8thgen si's with the k20's are incredible. They should still have it, its called the car wash nozzle.

Ahhh I see, and yea v6 accords are sweet, love when they have a aftermarket exhaust

Just a question. The Accord is practically a new vehicle. I am assuming the paint is still in a good condition. Why did you decide to go with Ultimate compound? Would this product be too much cut for such vehicle?

Good job by the way
