Greetings,

I love my Fit, but since first day I notice some crazy orange peel on my car. I know that Honda paint is know to be thin like a crack addict. So I waited until a safe method was available to do it.

This is the before/after pic


Huge difference..
And here is a video of the work done..


What do you guys think? I will be careful in the future not to induce many scratches since I'm not sure this paint will take another heavy polish.

 

I'm cracking up at the "before" pic.

 

it was really bad. Not as bad as a MB, but bad to what I'm used to.

 

Yeah what's up with Benz paint having so much orange peel? I've noticed that on quite a few of them, new ones.

Nice work on that polish OP it looks great.

 

Thanks... car looks so much better now. I will be upgrading a few stuff once it's paid off.. in about a year.

Benz uses a ceramic clear coat, and dries up in about 5 to 15 mins. It doesn't give enough time to the clear coat to "sit" on the panels, hence the orange peel madness. The good thing about that is... the car looks like new under shade.

 

That is a HUGE difference. Good job OP.

 

Thanks. If anyone needs any help on how to let me know.. this is safer than wet sanding the whole car.
