2002 Acura RSX - Silver (full - rough shape)

Hey everyone,

Again, nice to be posting up my work online for everyone to see. This car had just over 230,000km on it and from what I can tell had never been detailed. It's been washed, but that's the extent of everything that's been done to it. The owner was going to be selling it very soon and needed it prepped before sale as he had just replaced this baby with a 335i coupe. It was a challenge, but these are my favourite cars to do because the transformation is usually very dramatic. I had my assistant work on the interior while I blasted the exterior with polish twice and a sealant. Claying this car took a lot of time as well because there were so many rust spots, rail dust or debris. The sections of clay I show are only after one small panel. One side note is that I polished the headlights with Optimum Polish (new formula) with an orange and white pad then plastix. I did the exhaust with blue magic cream.

Nice work.

That was one DIRTY interior. I bet the owner feels great being in it now.
