So this is my new Accord V6 in "cool blue". No before pics were necessary. I believe the sole reason for gas going up is because I bought a V6 instead of the 4 bangers I've always had in the past. But anyway... the products used were the souveran sizzling shine kit with Klasse SG and the pinnacle wheel and tire kit. I love it all. The car in the reflection is my next project (very neglected 92 Acura Legend that I saved from the pound...) will post that ASAP

Paint looks good, but spray the wheel wells w/ some aerosol tire dressings and it will be very nice first detail.

Nice job! I would also do the wheel wells. Even if you just always wash them to keep them clean it makes a big difference on the looks of the car. AG can become an addiction.

Well done, for the first time detailing looks good. I like the reflection you achived, paint has a nice depth to it.

hahaha good thing you posted

hahaha becuase it's hard to look at a car and not notice it hahahaha but no worries. It's like swirls, everywhere I turn I see swirls hahahaha. I remember my frist time....I missed a few things that I caught on pictures and went back and tried to fix it.

The car looks good, thanks for sharing oh and the pictures look good to me...mind you I'm not a Pro at taking pictures iether...but with practice and a little bit of ready (which I've started to do) thing will come.

WELCOME TO THE ADDICTION!!!! :)

dont worry about the wheel wells, I used to think (before I came here) that i had a secret of spraying tire dressing in them to make em clean looking....

Here's how to get around cleaning the wheel wells...move the camera :righton:

I was pretty impressed with P21S Total Auto Wash. Sprayed the wells and hosed it down good. Then sprayed some NXT Instant Shine. A pretty good 'no touch' solution.

Great pics and great job on the car, nonetheless.
