Quite a few panels on my ek have gone flat. (uk spec 96" Ek4, Frost white (NH538))
They have lost their shine, basically matte white, very rough, improved with a polish but still not great....basically a clay bar and a polish wont be enough.
I know all modern cars use 2 stage paint (base colour - clearcoat)
Anyone know which way Honda painted ours? As tbh bodywork isn't my forte and I'm not sure, looking at it, i'm guessing single stage??
Either way, it looks a bit poop,and I wanted to know if you think it is worth getting a mop on it and attempt to bring it back up to a nice shiny standard, then I can keep on top of wax and sealing it.
The only other option is a paint job ;/
Will try and get some pics of what I mean to help...
Cheers
