How do I get a smooth finish?

[bruce20636]

I just got finished waxing my Accord and I used a cleaning wax from Meguiers and my paint still has a dirty feel to it. What can I use to get that smooth texture? Any help will be appreciated!

polish with a non-static cloth, after a fresh coat of wax.. even though i dont like wax...

clay bar will probably help for sure....mine is baby smooth.

There are other good tips there as well like removing swirl marks and such.

Thanks guys! Hey Adam how did you do that headlight conversion?

it's a fairly easy conversion if you have skills in body work.

the headlights basically fit right in.. but you have to cut out the fender a little, cut the hood, the radiator support, core support, and just basically fit the hood around the lights.

took a few days to get them properly fitted.
