This 2010 6-speed black TSX was purchased used about one month ago and came equipped with the dealer holograms and swirls option. I did a one-step polish and sealant on over the weekend. Originally it was supposed to be my paint enhancer package but after a few test spots the one-step polish package was the better choice. The owner was very happy with the results.

Products used:

Wheels: CG Diablo, Sonax Full Effect, CG Silk Shine
Clay/Decontamination: Nanoskin Autoscrub, Stoner Tarminator
Wash: CG Citrus Wash
Polish: LC white pads, Menzerna PF2500
Protection: Opti-seal
Glass: Stoner Invisible Glass
Exhaust: Black Magic Metal Polish

Here are the before pictures.

Nice work on the TSX!

Thanks everyone!

I used the Brinkmann Max Fire Marine Dual Xenon Spotlight.

Some of my picture links are broken and I would like to fix them but I do not have an edit button. Anyone knows why?

Great work bud. If you have edited already, I believe you can only edit it once. At least that's how it is for me.

Nice work on the TSX! I have the same car in the same color, albeit an 09. Granted my car is not swirled out like that, I am still apprehensive to try removing the swirls I have, just yet. I still think I need more practice...
What polisher did you use?

Thanks! The paint corrects easily so it shouldn't be too difficult. Just make sure to start with the least aggressive pad/polish combo and work your way up from there. I used a HF DA and a PC7424XP.
