Polished my black car today (warning, Honda content!)

I guess the intimidation is over. This is the first time I've let myself really mess with a black car. I'm going to take the wheels off again tomorrow until my suspension goodies get here. That's why I didn't spend much time on them (ok, no time).

Porter cable
Lake Country pads
Pinnacle Polishes
Pinnacle Sealer
Yellow pad/fine polish on trunk and passenger door
Orange pad/ fine polish on whole car
White pad/ultra fine polish on whole car
Black pad/Paint sealer on whole car

I ordered some Lusso Oro from a detailersdomain.com group buy. I'll do the final wax in a few days when it gets here. Here'e the link to the group buy if anybody is interested in Lusso Oro:

I recommend detailersdomain.com to anybody. Phil's customer service is second to none.

That's coming. Christmas and the HREs wiped out my car fund for a little while and I've only had the car a few months. I'm going to order some KW V3s within the next few weeks for it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. This is the first time I've tried to really work on a black car. I think it turned out ok for an amateur.

Car looks awesome. Nice work. I just ordered some Lusso Oro as well from DD. Should be here tomorrow. I can't wait to give it a try.

LOL, I love the last shot, she is a hottie!

Looks good! One thing, once you start to keep you car appearance up, it can be a little consuming on a black car!

I used pinnacle polishes for paint correction and Pinnacle finishing glaze/paint sealer for protection..... so far. I ordered Lusso Oro a couple days ago and will apply that for added protection and depth as soon as it get's here.

Thank you, and there's nothing wrong with Hondas. I have 2 of them. I just know that I'm on a primarily Porsche site. It was tongue in cheek. Even if I could buy myself a 911tt right now, I'd keep the S2000.
