The following are some before and after photos taken of a customer's Honda Accord with the Advanced Exterior Detail service. Some photos include descriptions of the problem areas. Click on the small photos to see the larger images.
After the vehicle is washed, dried, and clay'd, the vehicle is assessed of all of the scratches, scuffs, and imperfections that can and will be removed.
The first of these photos shows the scratches which covered the trunklid, creating a hazy look. All of the scratches were removed, two photos with the flash was to show that there were no swirl-marks left in the paint.
The next photos show some more serious scratches, they are much larger than the others but are still shallow enough to be safely removed.
Here we have a multitude of fine scratches that are commonly seen behind door handles which have indentations behind them.
Water spots, sap and bird-dropping etching is also frequent in the clearcoats of vehicles, in most cases they can be removed.
Once the vehicle has been polished, it is rinsed off and dried to remove the polish dust, then a glaze is applied via the buffer. The vehicle is then waxed and the rest of the process is finished up.
