Detailed this Honda Accord some time ago and managed to have another go at the very soft Honda paint. This time I was armed with the latest and greatest finishing polish from Meguiar`s, M205.
Before:

ONR Wash. 50/50 shot of before and after. Swirls visible after wash.

Pics after washing the entire car with ONR. Note the minimal amount of water on the floor after wash.

Got the halogen out for some shots. Note the faint hollowgraming visible on the hood from before.

Swirls clearly visible on the LHS of the car.

After M205/W9006/Rotary. Swirls removed but still lacking some definition. Even with M205 this Honda paint is still too soft to be finished perfectly with a rotary.

Hollowgramming much reduced from before but still lacking in definition.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Followed the M205 with NXT Tech Wax 2.0 applied with W9006/ROB. Much better...

Black paint reflects very nicely but it can be a challenge to maintain especially if its as soft as this Honda`s paint.
Thanks for looking. Feedback and comments are always welcome.
