This is a complete detail that I did for Mario, who was a friend of a painter at the body shop. He wanted a complete detail on his new 08 Honda Accord Hybrid that you just bought. Process took a total of 9 hours.

Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the interior. The interior wasn’t bad at all. It did get Poorboy’s Bio APC 15-1 on all the leather seats followed by Poorboy's Natural look on the leather and all surfaces. It also got a vacuum.
The exterior needed help badly! Exterior had many deep scratches that needed correcting along with swirls and a few MASSIVE bird bombs!

Exterior process...
-Wheels hit with Poorboy's Bio APC 10-1 and Wheel Wax applied after.
-Bird bombs soaked with Poorboy's Bio APC 10-1
-2 Bucket wash with Meguiar’s Gold Class. Then rinsed.
-Clayed with Meguiar’s clay with ONR as lube
-2 step correction, using PC 7424XP (surfaces taped off for safety)
*Step 1 - 105 with LC Flat Orange Pad
*Step 2 - 205 with LC Flat White Pad
-Vehicle was then rewashed with Megs Gold Class and dried
-Sealant, Poorboy's EX-P
-2 coats of wax where applied
*Poorboy's Blue Paste Wax then,
*Poorboy's Red Paste Wax
-Windows where cleaner with Rain-X glass cleaner.
-Tires dress with AA Extreme Tire Shine.

Before posting I was trying to remember if it was an 07 or 08', but sided with the 08' lol. I was wrong.

Thanks for the correction and feedback :props:

I'm always waiting for someone here in California to get hit by a California Condor. They have a wingspan of up to ten feet and weigh up to 29 pounds. Since they have been seen eating all kind of corpses, like deer, pigs, sheep,and horses. And many kinds of aquatic species, such as perch, salmon, seals, and even whales their droppings are probably "quite noticeable".:detailer:
