Interior & Exterior Detail! Rescuing An Old Honda Accord!

[@KA47CT]

Hey Phil, wanted to say thank you for the realistic solutions and results. Many content creators make it seem as if you should end up with a brand new car at the end of every detail. Or if you don’t spend 8-10 hours on a car you’re not good enough. I appreciate the real world feedback this channel provides.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thank YOU!

[@TripleGAutoDetailing]

Amazing work Phil!! Your commentary was EPIC!! "If its broken or damaged it CAN'T be detailed". 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ronayotte3571]

I call those cars "Lazarus projects"... you literally bring them back from the dead. Nothing is more satisfying than seeing the owner's reaction when it is finished! 😎

[@kirktitgen7453]

Your work is phenomenal brother ...very enjoyable video !!!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!!

Awesome job Phil

Hi you shouldn't care what people say in the comments all it matters is final effect ,and I still think you do a great job all the best 👍

Legit detailers do not get enough credit, this came out amazing!!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!!

[@p8rdm]

I really enjoyed that 👍what transformation, surprising what you can do with skilled hands, wonder if the guy got the wheels refurbished because it would have been worth it 😁

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!!

[@tomszyb9096]

And I enjoy all of the videos 😃❤️

As a former Accord owner from that era, use caution when rinsing that engine bay with the power washer. Mine had the 2.4L 4 cylinder and some water seeped into the wiring to or directly onto the cam position sensor. This caused it to run in limp mode and would rev over 3000 rpm. It took a week or so for it to totally dry out and get running back to normal.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!

Awesome job Phil .... I run into a car like this every once in a while that makes you work hard and bring all the tricks out thanks for the video👍I hope you made some 💵💵💵 also

[@nathanphillips5156]

Very nice video Phil. You have a very satisfying job!

[@autocleanet40]

Hi Phil. It's always a pleasure to watch your videos. The leather cleaning brush is great for cleaning leather seats or even the dashboard. 👌

[@keithcurley6760]

Great job Phil, I owned a 2001 2 dr. Honda accord for a couple of years and your right about the 1 stage paint. horrible, polishing was the only way to go. mine had cloth seats which were in perfect shape. Beige interior in mine also, I hate that color interior. btw the yellow scrub brush you used on the arm rest was a life saver for me on a job I did the other day on a Toyota camry with beige leather seats that were horrible. Keep up the great work Phil

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!!!

[@mazda1776]

Car came out great ,sometimes people expect miracles after they let's there cars get so dirty, but you really made a difference. Keep up the great work, I love the detailing videos

They should paint their steering wheel. It would look so much better.

[@dontridedirtydrd2282]

That turned out great . Love that hybrid turtle wax . Have used it a lot lately

[@davestewart9146]

Really nice turnaround Mr. Phil 👍😁

[@oldatarigamer]

Looks nice! My commentary is that when tackling curb rashed wheels that you're not familiar with, be careful and examine very closely because they can be sharp and can easily cut a finger. How do I know, well, it happened to me. Obviously not applicable to Phil cause he's a pro!

[@feliscampbell306]

Nice video Phil. I would love to see the owners face when he/she collected the car. He/she must have said :"Oh boy, got a car to get me going for another 10 years. Its like I have got a new car!". Excellent job. Your blue poliisher is a 125mm DA right? Take care!

Wow Phil ✊🏻✊🏻 what a difference

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks man!

[@sirraymondluxuryyacht8131]

I'm not sure why people think that washing a panel from side to side and up and down causes those tiny circular scratches. If washing was scratching the clear coat, the scratches would be more random rather than uniform swirls like are done by a rotary machine

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah it’s interesting.....when examined closely what looks like circles is mostly straight lines in many directions...horizontal, vertical, and at many different angles. A light, which is also circular will make it look like circular swirls when they really are not like that. It’s an illusion. Weird right?

[@jperez7499]

Nice Job Phil, I always enjoy the neglected cars that are brought back to life with that detailing TLC. At 18:34 "Pressure Warsh!" Sounded just like some of my friends from the Baltimore, MD area. Is your wife originally from there.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi Thanks!! 🤣 we were talking about funny things our customers have said over the years. We had one lady who used to say that all the time.

[@MB-ob6ye]

Baltimore native, can confirm. You gotta pressure warsh it, hon!!

[@MirandaDetailing]

🤣

[@mz8210]

When polishing that headlight, aren't you using a pneumatic tool ?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yup. I had an old one that I use sometimes. But just for headlight sanding.

[@gilortiz6254]

Great job Miranda

[@richardseem7948]

great video and turn around on that car.b well stay safe buddy

[@jayz313]

Phil, I'm always pleasantly surprised at the amazing turn around you do. I also appreciate it you showing us the trial and error you have to go thru, to achieve your results, I learn so much from that. Kinda of an unrelated question to this detail. How do you handle cleaning and rinsing behind the fuel filler door on Ford's with the cap capless fuel filler pipe? I'm always fearful of getting soap or water in the gas tank. I mostly use ONR and Kirkland microfibers, sometimes it's a little too dirty for that.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks!! Actually we just rinse and degrease per usual. They have a locking mechanism that pressurize the system so no water gets in there

[@jaykuykendall7660]

Great work (as usual) Phil! Quick question...where do you get the labeled spray bottles for the Protein Remover and the Tannin Remover from Meguiar’s? Been looking all over for those!

[@MirandaDetailing]

Hi. Thanks. I got the labels at autoality.com.

Where's your 3 labeled buckets on little trolleys? It takes out all the guess work apparently to clean a car above average.

[@hberglions9046]

Awesome job glad to see you use tw hybrid do you think 3D one could have done better?

[@MirandaDetailing]

Thanks. I used 3d one on a few portions and it does work the same way. But I wanted something that had some protection in it already to quick up the process.

[@marioskosmidhs9454]

Hey Phil...you doing it wrong...the small yellow interior brush sould be rotate anti-clock wise .....so you not make damage...... Haahahahhaha.....i am joking. ...love you sir . Great video

[@Eatshhhushi]

This old Accord paint quality is much better than my 2014 Accord. The fucking roof paint near the rear edge glass all peeled away. I do take car of my car. It just Honda crappy paint job.

[@hartlanddetailer5670]

Phil, As always nice job! Did you use a sealant after the TW Hybrid Ceramic Polish/Wax?

What apc did u use in the interior?! What dilution?

For some areas I believe I was using Extreme Solutions Tzunami 4:1. Then the Megs fabric rinse and protein stain remover for the carpets. And the Megs Pro Detailer leather cleaner for the leathers.

[@ThreeNTheMornin]

Honda didn’t use single stage paint for this car or any car from this era. It was always base coat clear coat, the problem was they used crappy water based paint and thin clear coat that didn’t hold up over time. If this was a single stage paint then the paint would be coming off onto your polisher as you’re polishing the paint.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Well it was coming off on my pads. It would gunk them up white and I would have to blow them clean after every pass. I have worked on plenty of these white single stage paints from both Honda and Toyota.

[@MirandaDetailing]

So the paint code is NH-578 Taffeta White. It clearly says here that’s it’s single stage white www.driveaccord.net/threads/is-taffeta-white-a-single-stage-paint.28307 There is a downloadable pdf with paint codes and it clearly identified it as single stage. Please do research before making comments like this, it simply confuses people who need to understand this. I decided to answer this comment here instead of exposing it in a video. People who watch this video need to understand how to determine paint systems so as to know how to proceed with polishing. I research and have years of experience dealing with paint systems. Yes they did use some water based paints on certain colors. But not this year white.

Constructive criticism: When you wear the head-mounted camera, sometimes it’s difficult to see the effect of your efforts because of all the movement.

[@MirandaDetailing]

Yeah I know 😕. Sometimes it’s the only way I can show anything. I don’t always have the perfect conditions to film and place my camera tripods. 🤷🏻‍♂️ so this is the best it will be until I am at 2 millions subs making tons of money and I don’t need to actually detail for a living. 😎👍🏼😆

Thanks. 🤣. You do know that by epa standards dumping dirty water like this into nearby grass, earth, plants, is not only safe but better than the toilet and into septic or sewer systems right? Plants and earth naturally filter out things. But that’s ok. 😎😎
