My Acura Legend`s paint and finish was neglected for 15 years, 220,000 miles. I`m coming up on my "Wow-I-actually-care-about-how-my-car-looks-iversary" in August, so I decided that I am annoyed with my car`s finish.



Here is the paint before:

Looks great. There`s someone on here who has 400K+++ on his legend coupe. Those cars look amazing when they`re clean.

I`m proud to be a Legend owner after seeing your pics. Your seats look great after 15 years - were they redone at some point?



My `92`s condition isn`t quite that stunning, but it still looks good. It`s funny: The car is 18 years old, but it still turns heads when it`s washed and detailed. And yes, 4cruizn`s Legend is beautiful in person.

Wow! What a compliment! Yes, the driver`s seat was redone, but the rest of the leather is original.



And PS: *** YOU`VE SEEN 4CRUIZN`S LEGEND IN PERSON??????? I have always wanted to see it!!

Wow! What a compliment! Yes, the driver`s seat was redone twice, the rest of the leather was redone once.
