Default Spring Cleaning: RSX, bug, accord 56k no go

afters:

Optimum polish rest of car w/light cut pad via PC

Pinnacle Sig Wax via hand

first time using pinnacle sig wax it seemed pretty easy to apply and remove. i think it darkens the paint a bit. this morning there was a light sprinkle leaving tight water beads on my car but majority was gone after driving a bit so it gives it a pretty good slickness
