Can Meguiars work its magic on...

[agp423]

My 01 Accord has been through a really bad hail storm, and there are many small dents all over the car. Is there a Meguiar's product that I can use to fix these? If not then what would you recommend?

apg,i've had that here too,but sounds like your's has been more bothersome.Has it actually made dents?

Buy a new car, unless you go to a respectable dent puller, a shop will most likely fill them in with bondo and repaint, and to me, thats not so great...

If they are not to deep. try a paintless dent repair. I had severe hail damage on a car once. The pdr did a fantastic job. Highly recommend you giving them a try.

They aren't too deep, but they're still visible when you look at the car from within five feet. What's NPDR?

NoPaintDentRepair..Sounds like that would be your only choice?

Is the paint damaged?

Another vote for dentless repair. The local guy here did a great job on both my S2000 and my Taurus.

Re: Can Meguiars work its magic on...

I don't think the paint is damaged. I don't see cracks or anything on or around the dents.

Make sure you check the dealer out first. Ask to see some of their work and understand the process. You don't want to have someone else screw it up.

Off topic question, because I don't want to fill this forum with my threads...

This is how I'm cleaning my car now days:
NXT Gen Car Wash, clay w/ QD, SwirlX, NXT Gen Tech Wax

How much improvement will I see if I replace all those things with the Pro-line equivalents

Is it the Caddy or the Honda that you're using these steps? Let's assume it's the Caddy and the paint is in good condition. The products above are going to work well as long as minimal correction to the paint is needed. That being said, your wash technique is what you should be focused on. The darker the paint color the more important/evident wash technique will be. For example, I have a Acura MDX in black. Honda paint is very soft and swirls appear in the finish if I look at it wrong. Consider investing in GritGaurd (x2) and the two bucket wash system, high quality lambs wool or MF mit. I'd also suggest buying micro fiber towels and polishing cloths, if you haven't all ready. Not all MF is the same. Meg's stuff is really good. Just my 2 cents...

Mainly the Caddy, but the Honda too once in a while. Both cars have light color paint, but the Cadillac is a little darker. So you're saying that I shouldn't bother switching to the pro line?

You are best off to start you own post
Your not clogging anything, that's what a forum is for.

Posting your own questions in someone else's thread actually creates more confusion.

For your Honda:

Consumer Line Process

NXT Car Wash
Smooth Surface Clay Kit
ColorX
NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0

Pro Line Process:

M62
C-200 Blue Mild Clay
M06 Cleaner Wax
M26 Hi Tech Yellow Wax

Are you working by hand or machine?

If you want to use the Pro Line stuff then go for it but if your working by hand on your daily driver then the consumer line products will work fine for what your trying to do.

Products like SwirlX and Ultimate Compound will work to remove swirls by hand and machine, so you do have swirl and scratch removers in the consumer line.

bottom line: if your looking for a simple process for a daily driver, stick to the consumer line since the Pro Line products will most likely have to be ordered online. Unless your PBE store carrries a lot of stuff.

I think he actually started this thread and then just asked an off-topic question.
