What products do I need to improve my paint....

[ABOO]

Bought the Civic a couple of weeks ago, as its Nighthawk Black, is swirl and scratch city!!

Now Honda paint is known for been 'wafer thin! So am going to be doing by hand. So am needing some recommendations for best damage repair products please peeps...

Autoglym Super Resin Polish & Extra Gloss Protection gets my vote, I'm sure some expert detailers will be in to recommend some other products though

Removing swirls and scratches by hand is very very very hard as I found due to not having a DA/Rotary.

The usual 2bm wash, tar, ironx and a claybar then. I would get a lake country hand cut pad some menz 106fa/ Menz203s. Follow that up with some poorboys blackhole to fill what's left and top it with a nice LSP. That will give you a lovely looking car for a while.

Correcting by hand is never going to happen and you won't be left with the finish you want. Once the PB Blackhole wears off they will just come back. Get it someone who knows what they are doing for a full correction.

Am wanting a full correction at some point, anyone on here do Yorkshire area?? Just want to try and improve a little bit possibly in short term.

Have been tempted with buying a DA on a couple of occasions, but paint is a major concern I have with this car. It really is thin, paired with me never been near something like that is not a good recipe! Are DA's just about idiot proof? Because I am an idiot...

I have used that combo on 3 cars now and while it does work a tiny bit it's by no means a match for a DA, it's bloody hard work aswell. If there is a better way by hand I would also like to know but as far as I'm aware that's it, that said its time for me to move onto a DA I think.

How about just a nice combo to improve the appearance? Something like Auto Finesse Tripple followed by a nice wax or some AF tough coat. Very simple combo. Tripple helps clean the paint, removes some light marring whilst filling the worst of it.

Rejuvenate is the other product but carries less filling by hand.

That's all I'm looking for at min Gally. Not expecting miracles, but I'm sure improvement can be had with a day and some elbow grease...

Cheers for product recommendations mate..; )

The one Jay polished is a proper polish. Tripple is much easier to use and work with but will of course have less real cut than 203's.

I'd suggest some thing like this:

http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/meguiars-microfibre-applicator-pad-cat24.html

By hand it'll work great. Then seal in with something.
