cut polish will get the swirl marks out.

whats the colour code of your dc5 .

my accord euro same thing, has like blue flickers in the paint. its the extra 300 dollar option

also becareful with a cut and polish on a black car

if your car is night hawk black, then its normal to see the blue glitters.. i also freaked the first time i saw the bluey side of my prelude, i thought al lthe clear was gone or someshit...


bring it to daveXR8, good detailer get all the swirls out and bring ur paint back to new

As above.
All black DC5Rs and DC5Ss are Nighthawk Black Pearl.
The blue flecks are the 'Pearl'.

And I would also highly recommend DaveXR8.

dont cut a polish too much! cut and polish is like liquid sand paper, do it to much and it will eat away your clearcoat.

as burak said, try meguiar's swirl X or scratch X. they tend to rid of swirls quite well.

I cant remember exactly but a 2 stage cut and polish from DaveXR8 was like $250
Didnt really care cos it was for my 307 and the buyer paid for it anyway

Well cut and polish with the weakest abrasive up accordingly, to reduce the amount of clear coat taken off. And then take care washing to stop more swirls produced so you dont have to cut down ur clear coat again. Just ordered like $400 worth of detailing supplies lol.

lol its just i know the cars black but under the light at night it comes out dark blue and i was wondering was it just my car that was like this or not i know some cars to an extent have this sort of paint work but mine was a bit obvious and was getting worried my car could have been sun damaged from sitting in the dealers front yard...
