This is a Honda that got a paint correction detail and is now ready for the winter.

all CG stuff. Scratch & Swirl Remover, EZ Creme Glaze, Extreme Top Coat and dressed everything with VRP. undercarriage got Bare Bones. cleaned the inside with InnerClean and dressed with VRP. spot cleaned seats and floor mats with White Lightning. Used a Porter Cable 7424xp with Lake Country flat pads (orange, blue, and black).

paint was pretty dead/dull and had no protection on it at all.

Nice. How the heck did you fix that bumper?

got it nice and hot and got my hand behind it and popped it out. you have to do it a little bit at a time. start with the easier stuff on the edge and work your way in. after it was completely popped back out, i kept the heat on it and tried to continue to re-shape it to the original shape. i'm just an amateur at this but it was the second one i've done and had success both times. it's good to have a helper too.

i just used a hairdryer but a heat gun would work too. probably need to be a little more careful with the heat gun though.

Nice job on the CRV, every time I get a phone call about detailing a CRV, I know what to expect, because every CRV I have ever detailed has been totally trashed and hammered, both inside and out.

oops. that should be Lightning Fast stain remover instead of White Lightning. :doh:
