Hey guys. Long time lurker, first time poster. Let me first thank all the very knowledgeable members for helping me learn and teach me new skills. Now on to the reason I'm posting.

I purchased a 2007 Acura MDX back in January and since then the scratches on the wood trim have been bothering me like crazy. After much research I finally came up with a plan and removed all the trim from the car.

Here is the process I used:
Megs 3.5' mf cutting pad with M205
Megs 3.5' mf finishing pad with Menzerna PO 85RD
GG Pre-Wax Cleanser to remove any polishing oils
I then coated with Opti-Coat

It came out amazing. I have a few progress pics and 50/50 shots but I'm on my IPad and can't figure out how to post pics. Mike or anyone else if there is a way let me know. Again thanks guys I have really learned a lot.

Look directly above your post, at the end of your typed header "... Polished", on the menu bar, find the button that says "Upload Photos". If they are too big, they will not upload. Once uploaded, you open the picture in your gallery, and at bottom of each picture will be a link. Copy the link to each picture, go advanced when posting, click "Insert Image" button and paste the link that you just copied. Repeat for each picture.
