Acura RSX Paint Corrected

Greg Gellas

I'm Greg :)
A customer dropped off his RSX on Friday evening around 7:30 for a full paint correction. I had 24 hours before he was coming back to pick it up and drop off his buddies VW. I knew I had a long weekend in front of me :) I called in my helper cause I knew I would need it :D It was drizzling all day but by the evening it had stopped, thank goodness. I am a night owl so I decided to get right to work washing the car. I foamed it up with a mix of CG Citrus wash and clear and dawn. I get some good foam from that combination. Make fun of my short pants all you want, so much better than having wet ankles while you work :D

I pulled it inside to clay and inspect what I was working with here. The reall killer was removing the other guys wax. It was everywhere that alone took quite a long time. Also the paint was pretty swirled up :( I knew I have my work cut out for me :)

I got started by pulling the wheels and cleaning the wheels and wheel wells. The steamer does fairly well on the wheel wells. Its getting cold here in NJ so I was thinking of ways for me to clean the wheels inside so I don't freeze and made this little contraption. Its a hotwater heater pan with a tube attached. I run the tube outside and am able to keep my garage floor dry yet still clean the wheels :2thumbs:

There were a couple of deeper RIDS around the car that I decided to wetsand. Just to ensure I got them out. I also pulled the rear wing to correct the paint under it.

I love your attention to the wheel wells and the insides of the wheels themselves.



Flat panel TV in your garage?! I don't think I'd ever go inside the house :)
