Before & after paint pics

Just did some paint maintenance on my new 1999 crv just before our first snowfall. As you can see the paint was in horrible condition.

Nice what cleaner did you use

That is a really nice finish. I just have a few questions

1) what paint touch up did you use?

2) how deep were the scratches that you were going over?

3) I think that I have some mothers scratch remover but I have been a little leery to use it how did the stuff you used look like while you were applying it to you V.

I know people in Chicagoland who need a paint fix as good as yours!

Here are the basics, just so you have an idea:

1. Wash
2/3. Clay
2/3. Dry (I put 2/3 because many detailers, as well as myself, like to clay the car right after washing because you must dry it anyway after claying to get all the lube off... this way you save yourself some time by not drying initially)
4. Polish
5. Seal
6. Maintain (Most important step)

The details of each step are very in depth. So if anyone here in chicagoland wants their paint worked on in the spring lmk.
