2008 Honda CRV with 50,000 miles. Interior wise the CRV was good, exterior wise it left a lot to desire. The exterior was heavily swirled with RIDS sporadically in the paint, very dull in appearance, water etching, and the plastic trim was dull and discolored. Paint overall was medium hardness, not as hard as 'vette paint, but harder then Subaru. We did have trouble with the doors though. The doors were very sticky(like a subaru) and held on to the compound. No amount of technique changes or pad changes stopped it when using 203, with the 106FA it was fine. We did end up having to do an IPA wipe down to remove the compound between passes. After 20 man hours it looks better then new inside and out. Quite a transformation and quite pleasing to look at now! Oh and thanks for viewing!!! Wash CG Citrus Wash + Gloss P21S TAW Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner Swissvax Wheel Brush MF Wash Towel.
