2002 Acura CL DETAIL

Hemin8r · Apr 14th, 2008, 11:46 AM

Hello all. Here is a quick write up. This is a 2002 Acura CL that I worked on this past Sunday. The condition of the paint was pretty bad. Heavy contaminants along with hazy swirls as you will see on the following pictures. Looks like the car has seen many drive thru car washes.

PROCESS
Tires: APC & dressed with Hyper Dressing
Wheels: Wheel Brightener
Wash: Super Suds with no wax.
Clayed: Aggressive
Headlights: PlastiX with rotory
Polished: #80 with W-8006 pad & rotory. (The G110 required at least 3 passes with #80 to make it look right. Didn't want to do #83)
Final pass with #66.
Time: 4 hrs. 50 min.

After

You can see how the paint was hazed & swirled

The left side shows where I was polishing.

Tires here has the first pass of HD. I gave it another shot & wiped evenly after the picture

Very nice job Jesse.
That finish looks very nice and clear.

It looks really clean!

It's a squirt bottle cover that I keep the #80 in. Lol. Any toys or dolls you see around my work place belong to my nieces. I promise.

Jesse, great work as usual. You brought the Acura back to life. Way to go.

Thank you all once again for the kind comments. This Saturday I'm scheduled to work on a red 85 Pontiac Fiero. Let's see how that turns out.

Sure will. Some parts on the car are clear coated so I'll try and match the single stage to the newly painted areas.
