Last year I finally went over my wifes Pilot with clay, XMT with a PC and liquid Soveirn. It looked much better at the time. I must admit that I have only had time to wash and haven't done any more paint correction. In the past I have seen several post specific to my color because it has the blue pearl also. Many people seem to be happy with Menzerna products but it also seems some have not had the best of luck due to whatever circumstances. I am definitly a novice. Should I stick with my XMT or try something else with the 20% off sale. Input appreciated.

The Menzerna polishes are a good choice.
I cleaned up my fiances 99 Accord this weekend. I used 1z high gloss (no real correction but brought out the gloss) and then used Fuzion. I really do not think this car has ever looked as good. I did a full detail a couple months back, used Prima Swirl (one of my favorite polishes), Duragloss 501 (the best cleaner I have tried) and topped with Meguiars NXT 2.0.

I have a 02 NHBP Civic SI (EP3 FTMFW!) and I use the Wolfgang Duo on it, but tomorrow I'm going to hit it with some Menz 85RD to review after using the Wolfgang TSR today. Already looks great with just the TSR, and the 85RD isn't really necessary.

One thing I suggest, since our paint is so soft, you won't need anything beyond a white pad for swirls and holograms. If you have some RIDS and such, you might try a orange pad, but you will definitely be leaving some marring afterwards.

I'm a big fan of Wolfgang TSR 3.0. Polishes out really nice and don't leave any micomarring.
