This is a Black Honda Accord which had very bad orange peel on it's original factory finish. The owner then sent it to a polishing center which further damaged the surface with poor surface prep, leaving the finish full of swirls, scratches and the original orange peel condition untouched.
The first thing I did was to wet sand the car with 1200 grit followed by 1500 grit to correct the orange peel which was then followed by compounding the surface using #85, #83 and #80. The surface was then waxed with NXT and allowed to cure overnight before being re-layered again with NXT. Total time spent on car was around 16 hours but would you look at that finish! Problem is, I've only got one of them 2 megapixel cameras so what gets captured is pretty limited definition-wise. Enjoy!
Before: Notice the paintwork's orange peel on the reflection of the flourescent tubes compared to the windows.
Before: More orange peel.
