Gives you and idea of what the whole car was like, apparently it sat outside for 3 months under a tree :hm



After washing the car twice with megs gold class to make sure I got rid of all the dirt and grime that was literally STUCK to the car, the finish looked like this(I didnt have time to snap pics of all the defects on every panel like I wanted to) :

The entire car had heavy marring and very few RID`s so the Optimum Polish wiped them right out(This time I have TWO pictures! :dance:):

Everything was wiped down with a 50/50 mix of 91% alcohol and distilled water, then polished with SFX3 on a black LLC pad, then topped off with P21s:

Thanks! I think it was bought at an auction in Florida, then shipped? :confused:

I was wondering how a car with "Palm Beach Acura" wound up in a setting with snow on the ground....



Very nice work.

When I applied it, per directions, I was havign a hard time getting an even finish on the acura leather, I got major streaking after it dried and had to remove it with sonus leather cleaner and try to re-apply again because I was determined to get it right.
