    08 Honda Accord Revival

    Customer wanted to bring some life back into this 08 Accord with 85k. Wasn't looking for perfection so settled on an AIO. Accord had heavy RIDS and swirls on the outside and pet hair and thick grime on the inside. Customer took it to a local place in NJ and they refused to detail the car. Sorry no before pics besides the wheels and no sun shots because it was about to rain.

    Interior:

    Megs Carpet and Upholestry

    Megs APC +

    HD Protect

    Metro Vac n Blow

    Many brushes and tools



    Landau Top:

    Scrub with brush and CG CWG

    Protect with 303 Fabric Guard



    Wheels and Wells

    Megs APC+

    Iron X

    Megs wheel brightener

    Many brushes and tools

      Thanx. Iron X first, let it sit for 5 mins then agitate and then WB and a ton of various brushes.

              The Accord turned out great. Not sure the Accord is made for a top like that IMO.

                The only thing nice about the top is I didn't have to polish it lol, thanx fellas.

                  Looks like you did a great job! Well done

                  What percentage correction do you think you achieved with the D151?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                        Thanx! It knocked out the swirls and white haze and lightened RIDS. In hindsight I should have compounded the hood and trunk, as they were the worst, and then hit it with D151.

                          Nice work! D151 does make for a killer AIO, doesn't it?

                          That roof treatment is the first I've seen like that on a Honda, but it's pretty popular on Cadillacs (the late Sevilles for the most part) and a few other larger sedans in my native SE Michigan. We almost never see those here in SoCal, although I do know someone with a Jaguar S-Type sporting one....... and it's not a great look on that Jag. IMHO, of course!

                            Yep I love it Mike. If you notice I added a drop of Duragloss 105 Total Polish to the pad, IMO this does 3 things cuts down on dust, makes for easier removal and extends protection. Maybe in the future D151 can be tweaked and make it even more awesome.
