Fiance's Acura

[Highrev1]

It was a boring SUNDAY...I just finished up the Lexus Paint Restoration And was tired, doesn't matter cause the little lady said to me the other day, "look at my car and your a detailer" So I decided I would just do a one step on it to make it look good then seal it for the winter. Sure enough.... One step turned into SIP on a wool pad down to 203 on orange, finishing out with 106 on a white pad. Then ex-creme glazing...I will top it with opti-seal... I couldn't just do the paint either, I had to try out glass scrub that I had bought from DI, you can see the review on that here...
Glass Science Scrub Review This is the canvas I was starting with... I have told her to take better care of the dam car, Lemme tell you her interior is spotless I guess it was me on the exterior dropping the ball...






Did some 50/50’s got some good correction….The thickness was getting a little low so I didn’t want to take off toooo much.






I did the trunk section also. It was pretty hammered…Dam people. You can see from the 50/50 I needed the wool pad.





All Fixed


One area that is always a concern for people is under the door surrounds. I have been testing this for a while. It takes a VERY steady hand but I am able to remove the scratches with a 3” wool pad on the rotary. You can get about ¼ of it under there from either side, top and bottom. The key is to make sure the backing plate does NOT hit the handle. Keep a VERY close eye to ensure that you DON'T hit anything but the pad to the paint. I also hit up that scratch above the handle







And all fixed…

Seeing that I was bored… I decided to add bolts to my UDM….I also added rubber washers of sorts. I never use the supplied handle and hate the additional vibrations of that from cover…





I just have to seal it but it’s all done. I know I know the hood has been re-sprayed and doesn’t match in the least…I plan to get that re-done shortly as I also took some paint off the front end once washing it. Sure enough I have to teach the fiancé how to care for her car better from now on

Ha LOL i had the same situation 2 days ago, i was walking my wife to her suv she paused and said the same thing. Started out with a wash ended up giving her the ZAINO works.

The detail came out great, did you feel any noticeable difference with the bolts and washers added?
