2016 Honda Accord V6 Sport - My 3rd Detail (With actual pics :P )

[emmjay]

Hello all,

I decided to sell my 2014 VW MK7 Gti as it was driving me mad with all the problems and bought a trusty 2016 Honda Accord v6 Sport on 30th December 2015 - that is made for this market.

When I received it, it was night, so it got washed and clayed and sealed. It was only a few days later that I noticed it covered in swirls and scratches.

I decided to detail it as you will see below, enjoy and please comment on where I can improve

Thanks for looking

Looks great. I really wish the Accord Sport was offered with a V6 in the US. I love the look of the Sport but want a V6 as opposed to the stock 4 cyl. You have to jump up to an EX-L in order to get an available V6. And to get the wheels/tires I like I'd have to go up to the Touring model for even more $$$.

Love powerlock with colorlock on top (2 coats each). Had the car been detailed already by the dealership before you bought it?

Nice job!

These two.

Would have been awesome if the the whole car was captured for bottom photo.
