    my first big detail

    so this was a car I purchased from an insurance aution. 2016 fusion titanium 40K miles salvage title. Ive never had to buff a car that was in this bad of shape. I used the minimum I could but some places took more work than others to get them to clean up. the heaviest I had to go was medium cut cleaner on a heavy cut LC pad. I had some scratches that I just couldn't get out with the buffer. I have never wet sanded a car before so I didn't attempt it.

    Don’t worry/think about wet sanding. You did just fine. Some RIDS on a daily driver is normal.

    Great work.

    That was a huge undertaking.

    The results are incredible!

    Great job, man.
    It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

    Wow that looks good, the turn around was on point, perhaps as you learn more you can decide to wet sand certain areas, to further refine problem areas, I too just bought a 08 Acura RDX Tech from auction, it needs some polishing to bring out the shine. Thanks for sharing can’t wait to the same,,,my first big detailmy first big detail
