This car was last done in March. The NXT was on its last leg. The car has 83k on it, daily driven but only a few miles, garaged at night. It was in good shape as I wash it weekly (well except the last 3 weeks) and use M135 QD often on it. Sorry no before pics.
Pructs used:
ONR
Prima Amigo
Meguiars NXT 2.0
Distilled water
Prima Hydro
NXT tire cleaner
AA tire foam
Tools:
PC 7424
Wheel Brush
Lots of MF towels
1 large cotton towel
Lowes GS
Small brush (was the kitchen scrubber)
Pads:
LC Foam 5.5" CCS white pad
LC Foam 5.5" CCS black pad
Washed the car with ONR and Lowes GS, first time using ONR this tuff is great, perfect for the area because we are under tight water restrictions, even if we weren't I would still use ONR especially on cars in the conditon the Accord was in. Dried teh car with 2 Orange Viking Drying towels.
Cleaned the tires with NXT tire cleaner and brush also used this for wheel wells
Cleaned the wheels with a MF sponge and ONR (used left over from wash), dried with an old bathroom cotton towel.
AA foam on tires and whell wells
Cleaned the with Distilled water and Walmart WW towel, finished with Priam Hydro and MF towel.
Used Prima Amgo with white pad speed 3
NXT 2.0 black pad speed 3
Also used NXT on the black trim

Thanks for the replies everyone.
My luck my 2 cars are not the best for getting a nice mirror finish. I have this 9 year old Accord and a 14 yr old White Lincoln lol. So one of my friends gets a free detail when I need a real test car lol.
