ScheerSpeed Detailed: Acura TL Type-S with Mystery

It's been a while since i've posted a detailing thread! well it's not because i haven't been detailing, rather because the semester just started, and im trying to get a new car and so on... well anyways lets get to buisness.

This car had never seen a full detail. Only waxed once in a while by the corner or mobile guy. hence why it might have had so many swirls! Well the driver side was completely repainted after an accident, as you can see there was no orange peel. this car got a 2 Step polish, which was able to remove 95% of the defects, however the owner did not opt for a full correction, so this was as much as i could do.

Total time ~30 Hours

That looks awesome. That thing really shines now. The flake in it has that extra "pop" now.

Nice cars too. Guy in my complex has one in that same color. Too bad about the WWD though

Re: ScheerSpeed Detailed: Acura TL Type-S with Mystery

Got to love that NHBP paint that Honda/Acura uses. I have a Civic SI in the same color, looks amazing when it's clean. But it's so hard to keep those flakes popping even after a polish. Or at least on a daily driver anyways.
