Just picked up the 08 MDX Tech in Formal Black a few weeks ago. It Looks like the previous owners didn't care about the car too much. It has a Lot of little dings here and there and the paint was full of scratches and swirl marks.
Since, I love cars, it looks like this MDX came to the right home.
This last weekend I had a couple days off where I decided to attempt to "fix" some of the damage. I'm not a pro by any means, don't own a buffer or a polisher, so I had to use some elbow grease
Here are some pics.
At the dealership when we got her.

This is how the whole paint looked like before some deserved TLC

This is the after. I know it still needs a lot more work but at least it looks a lot better than before.
