Menzerna PG,FPII,FMJ > Atrocious Accord

[stilez]

Wow, just wow.





A mess is an understatement for this puppy. I think the year is around 1996 and if it was never detailed, it wouldn`t surprise me. It had everything from heavy etching to oxidation to staining to SWIRLING and everything in between. This vehicle was a test panel for some fun. Its one you walk up to and are like "Damn, it`s gonna be tough, but it can only get better!". Anyways, I`ll go in order here with the exterior last (be patient).







First up, the interior. Grease, dirt, dust, foreign substances, drinks, trash, you name it. Only 1 B&A because the sun was far too bright in the morning. You`ll get the idea pretty quick though. Processes:





-Carpets, mats, and seats cleaned with Folex and Oxy/APC Mix, then extracted

-Everything else was APC`d

-Dressed with 303 Aerospace

I stayed at the noted RPM the whole time just used a lighter touch in some areas.





hirosh: A touch over 6 hours.
