2006 Acura TL Minor Paint Correction ( volume vs quality )

Hi guys

I have a forum member contact me about doing a detail for him before I leave to California. His concern was the buffer trials left by the previous detailer. Unfortunately his not very please with detailers in NYC, and now his paying again to have it detail correctly by me. The car is park outside 24/7, and sadly it's been vandalized

I didn't take many pictures on this one. I just shoot some video at arrival at late afternoon, one 50/50 video, and some after pictures. Start 9-10am - 7:30 pm, so no sun shots sorry..

anyways here are pictures and video! also I'm testing a new camcorder, a gift from Audi for high CSI in the past years. so please excuse the video this time. ( only testing )

Looks very good. Just like it was brand new. I have a secret love for TLs of this era.

That car looks fantastic. Why doesn't everyone spend the money once a year for people like you to do that to their cars? I bet people would be inclined to keep their cars for longer if they still looked good after 10 years, but instead people just abuse, abuse, abuse until it's at the point where the car needs to be re-painted and the interior is worn and torn. I feel like most "detailers" don't do nearly the job you appear to do, either. It seems to be a lost art... just wax and buff, and armorall the $#!t out of everything 'til it's good and greasy... ugh!!

I gotta go wash and vac my Audi now... I parked it under a tree on Wednesday and now it's got tree sap on it
