So I had to work on my mother's car and decided to detail and clean it up. Mind you this car has over 132k miles and rock chips galore.
I found that the toyota paint is a million times harder than a honda paint job. After first using 4500 and a white hybrid didn't do squat.
Changed up to orange pad and fg400 and it was better but not quite what I expected.
Switched up to a hybrid wool and fg400 and it got the hood better but not what I was expecting.
I ended up using LC orange hybrid with FG400 first, and then moving to a white pad with 4500, and finished with grey and WG3.0.
Also I had some problems using the hybrid orange pad with it shedding everywhere but got them replaced by the awesome guys from Lake Country Manu.
Here are the pics.
Dirty I tell you....
