This is a new client of mine. They found me on Instagram. Just picked up this new to them Acura and wanted it corrected and protected.
Paint was in good shape. Minor swirls/scratches and some hard water spots.

The ‘details’:
Adam’s Shampoo.
McKee’s37 Iron remover.
Griot’s medium clay mitt.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
Adam’s wheel cleaner.
McKee’s37 Hydro Blue to seal the wheels/calipers.
HD Dress tire dressing.
Scangrip lighting.
DeFelsko PTG.
Rupes MkIII 15.
Rupes iBrid.
Beta test medium cut foam pads.
Griot’s perfecting cream.
Optimum paint prep.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte was the LSP.
GYEON leather shield was used on all leather surfaces.
Metro vacuum.
Adam’s trim coating on underhood plastics.
McKee’s37 glass cleaner.
Pinnacle black label leather cleaner.
Adams’ quick interior detailer.

Thanks for looking!






















 
Nice job as usual! Does that paint gauge tell you how much is clear paint and how much is base paint?
 
Great work again, missed the hp and 0-60 times, LOL!

Quick question on the Gyeon Leather Shield, is it tricky to work with? I'm curious to try it but this local detail shop basically told me you need to be a professional like them to use it, so I bought Gyeon leather, thoughts?

Fight: This one does not.

Klasse: I find it very easy to use. Not tricky or finicky at all. Pick up a bottle and go for it. Leaves the surface very 'silky' feeling and works very well to repel spills/etc.
 
Nice work as always! I’m a big fan of the McKee’s iron remover, definitely one of the best I’ve used.

Did you find that the Acura MDX Clearcoat was soft, medium or hard? I have a 2020 and wanted to see what I should start with for a test panel.
 
^^^If I remember correctly it was on the medium side. Corrected very nicely.

Thank you, beautiful job!

Would you recommend medium pad (like an Orange Hex Pad, or Uro-Fiber 50/50 pad) and a medium compound like Correcting Cream or 3D One on it then?
 
You are most welcome and than you for the comments!


I would recommend doing a test spot with the least aggressive 'setup' you have and see what results you achieve. Then step it up from there if needed. (all paint can be different, even on the same vehicle--could have had body work/repaint/touch up/etc, so always careful and use the 'least aggressive method' first.)

Hope this helps ya!
 
Lots of iron on that bad boy! Nice work. We used to have a white MDX (prev. gen.) and it was a fantastic car.
