I finished the Fit up today, looks pretty good now. Coming from owning a solid black car to this color, it's good and bad. The good is that you can't see every little imperfection in the paint but the bad is that it just doesn't shine that well. Anyway, here was my process:

1. Wash with Prima Mystique, 2 bucket method with Grit Guard in soap bucket

2.Dry using "flooding" method and waffle weave towel

3.Polish entire car with Prima Swirl and Menzerna Intensive Polish using a PC7424 and various foam pads.

4.I went over the entire car again with Prima Amigo (glaze) with the PC and a black foam pad.

5. I then applied Menzerna FMJ by hand with foam applicator.

6. Lastly, I sealed it all with Duragloss Aquawax. The headlights and taillights also got FMJ and AW. The wheels got AW and the tires were treated with Zaino Z16. The weather was shitty out today so no outside pics, just in the garage.

 

I wish I had the time and resources to detail like that. *drool*

 

Looks Great!! What do you mean it doesn't shine that well???? 'Looks damn shiny to me. Lot's of nice metallic flakes in it too.

 

damn north east weather

I want to wash/wax my car

 

So do it, I live in CT and I had time to wash/wax last weekend

 

ooooo~! looks good, davela

 

wow nice job cleaning..nice shine

 

WoW! look at the shine in the hood!!

I just washed my car today as well, nice and smooth

 

looks great! I have no clue what you mean by not shining enough, if you can see the metallic flakes, you did a pretty damn good job

 

Ya but a day later there is salt and crap all over it.

 

thats true, but that nice new coat of wax keeps it from sticking as easily, or you could move to CT, they use sand

 

Is my Fit has the metalic flake also As I look outside and there still about 5 feets of snow.
Your car look assome

 

Thanks for the props guys!!!

 

You did a great job on your car! It looks gorgeous and you can tell you put alot of sweat equity in it!

 

nice job, i also have a SSM jazz, shinny as it is, cant compare with a darker color car...
