Oakes - Detailed: 2006 Acura TSX - 80K Mile Revival!

[OakesDetail]

A 2006 Daily Driven Acura TSX in Royal Blue Pearl came to me recently in desperate need of a restoration detail. This TSX has a few parts re-painted, some others used as a shelf, and mostly showing signs of a vehicle driven everyday. The interior as well showed its use and was also given the treatment it deserved. This gorgeous color was brought back to life, as well as all other aspects of the vehicle, making its 80k mile self look showroom condition!



The pictures definitely do the talking here and show the work done, while we didn't take too many after pictures of the paint due to maximizing time spent on the vehicle, the 50/50 photos definitely serve the paint condition justice for its afterwords condition.

Nice turn around.



Is that Acura Blue as soft as the Honda Nighthawk Black?



How do you like the Iron Cut?

I wish there were pics of the owner when they got their car back. I bet they were thrilled.

It is certainly on the softer side yes, and the IronX seems to work really well, still giving it a very extensive trial.

Thank you and the owner was very satisfied!

Wonderful work! My wife had the same exact car...I really liked that color. I do remember finding the paint remarkably easy to correct....and then noticing a few weeks later that the car could use another detail. Argh.
