so i started yesterday, did the inside with Poorboy Natural look, work very well to me used about 5oz for the whole inside..

today washed the car with Dawn 2oz with 4.5gals of H2O 2-buckets-2 grit guards ,car has never been that soapy ,looked very clean after drying it.. then i Clay the car " Meguiars Clay kit the new 1 " very easy job thought it would be way harder,looked so nice after buffing it off .. With there MF that came with the kit..

Ill be washing the car again when i get home from work friday when the sun starts going down, to get all the clay stuff off "Meguiars Gold Class" then dry...

Then im gonna start playing with my new DA GG 6" i have five pads 2 white -2 grey -1 blue i ordered 6 more pads from auto geek should i wait to get the wright pads or will i be ok? im putting on Ultimate Compound & No.845 will i be ok or will i need to put a Polish down too?

Thanks: SlavO's

Welcome to the site. You can get some pretty nicely finished results with Ultimate Compound. It really depends on what paint and what color it is. If it's a lighter color you might get away with just the UC but you might see a little hazing after the UC on a dark color paint such as red, dark blue or black.

yup,use the white pad with UC & then use the grey pad with the 845 and you shuld be fine,now if you would have had a darker car like Dave said you would have to polish afterwards.

BTW, those Accord coupes are really good lookin' cars, under appreciated IMO, has a "Germanic" look in silver for sure, also like it in that blue color, stunning after a detail I bet!!

I think the Random Orbital DA i have did the work.. i tried my hardest to do it like Mr. Griot did in his Instruction DVD .. And the product i had was very easy to work with... it really wasn't that hard the hardest part was trying to do the work in my little garage. ?? I just got a new truck but it will not fit in my Garage im about to start to detail it as well the paint feels really bad.. so are there products i can use in the sun light??
