    Well, we actually didn’t go to white castle but Larry(leungly) did go to Hammer town for a bit of a road trip. In Hamilton, there was a dark blue 07 civic that was said to need some attention. Nothing major, just minor swirling and the odd stratch. It was a bit of a hike to Hamilton from my house (1.5 hours) but I owed the owner huge so I had to make the trip.

    The Process

    We only did the outside paint correction on the car.

    The Wash
    Uber sponge and White Schmitt with 2BM
    AM Wash and Wax
    Gilmour Foam
    AG CWC for the tires and wheels
    ARO for the wells
    AM 777 for the badges
    Clayed with Riccardo Blue, AM Body Shine for Lube
    WW towel for drying

    The Correction
    Poorboys 2.5 on a DA (Larry is not up to the rotary yet) on the trunk and bumpers
    Menz PF on the rest of the car with a Green GI pad
    The Roof took some Presta UCCL on a yellow edge pad then the Pf

    The finish
    Wiped car with Aquasol and Body Shine
    Applied KAIO with DA and white pad
    HD Wheel Gel on the Tires
    CG Liquid Extreme shine on the Wells(mostly because I like the smell

    And the end reaction on why I love doing this:
    Bryan, the car looks awesome! The swirl marks and minor scratches are gone and my car sparkles. It has never looked this good. You guys did an excellent job.

    Amazing difference!

    Props for doing that out in direct sun. I havn't made it to that level yet, I'm still a shade guy.

    Sounds like quite a road trip.

    Nice job on the Honda Bryan. I give you guys kudos for working outside. Unless I can be comfortable, I'm not doing it.

    I work in or out, I prefer inside but you work with what you have

    I like my Dual Action Polisher just fine however I do want to upgrade to the new Meguiar's G110 V2 (yes I know its the esentially the same as the 7424XP).

    When time becomes a real factor in my details I think I'll add a Flex Rotary to the arsenal but for now I'm good.

    Yeah it was really good working with Bryan on this Civic in Hamilton.

    How is the gloss on the HD Tire Gel? I was interested in picking it up. Do you use a lot of product?

    save yourself the $200 on the G110 and upgrade to the flex rotary. I just bought a flex 3403 VRG and went to town on a scrap hood I got from my friend. It was a bit tricky at first but you're only going to get better by constantly challenging yourself and adapting.

    I don't think you're gonna improve your skills by getting the G110....so it's not exactly an upgrade.

    The fact that you used a DA already means that you had more experience than me when I started. SO instead of just outgrowing the G110 with 1 car just get a rotary and ask bryan for tips. Heck it was bcuz of Bryan that I bought the Flex when I came down to Toronto to see him.

    do it do it do it.

    I can't see the pics right now bcuz im at work but will check those out soon when I get home :) congrats :applause2:
