Supercharged Detail: 2005 Acura RL.

[supercharged]

Here is a detail I did on my garage queen in the last few days. Vehicle is mostly garaged and gets driven occasionally. It has 51k miles on the clock.
Vehicle was foamed with Tropi-Care Citrus Wash (love this wash to strip protection) and a foam lance. I foamed it, and did the wheels while it was dwelling. Washed with Zymöl Sponge and Megs Shampoo Plus.
Wheels P21S wheel cleaner gel on wheels, Amazing Roll off on tires, EZ brush and OXO brushes.
Tires: Dressed with SV Pneu
Clay: Sonus Green and Pinnacle Clay lube. I have to admit, I love this combo, Pinnacle clay lube is so slick, but does needs a good rinse afterwards. After a good rinse it was dried with Cobra WW MF towel and Optimum QD.
Engine: was cleaned with P21S TAW, and dressed with 303 protectant.
Trim:was dressed with Black Wow, Door seals conditioned with 1Z Rubber care stick.
I didn't do any polishing on this car, as it was polished in November, and there is hardly any scratches/water spots.
Glaze ## EZ Creme was used to glaze it up a bit. Applied with MF applicator and removed with Justin's Ultra Premiums. I gotta admit, I love these towels, and I'm glad I bought 10 of them!
Protection: Jetseal 109. Very easy to use, awesome looks, and can be topped in 30 minutes, Jetseal is a winner.
LSP: ## 5050. I really wanted to try this combo, and gotta admit, I love it!
Final wipedown with FK 425.
Interior: Leather Master Trio on leather (the very best there is), Megs APC Plus (10:1) on carpets, 1Z Cockpit Premium on vinyl.
Enjoy!!!

Nice job!! All those pictures flipping around made me dizzy. Do you really like JS109?? I used it and wasn't impressed. It looked great, but durability wasn't there.

Thanks...I like posting a lot of pics, and really like seing other detailers doing so...not only befores and afters, but DURING THE DETAIL pics, they are so teasing...
As far as Jetseal, be sure you have the surface ready for it (preferbly polished), I have it glazed with EZ Creme Glaze, and it made the job easier...as far as Jetseal durability, it does sucks on it's on on paint, but when topped with 5050 it's a completely different thing...I'm expecting 3-4 months, considering that vechicle is garaged...Best thing about Jetseal is it can be topped 30 minutes after you remove it, which is not the case with many other sealants...It does outlasts other wheel sealants on wheels (Jetseal).

Looks B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L! Those are my favourite Honda model. (in my country they're sold as the Honda Legend rather than Acura RL, same with the Acura TL, they're sold as the Accord Euro).

I too like the pics of when you're actually detailing. I guess they're the hardest to take though, because for some of them you need to get someone to take them for you.

Great write up! :righton:

Great job man. How do you like the p21s cleaner?

 

[Ryan]

looks great man, I love total auto wash on the engine

thanks! You don't have to have someone take pics of you while you are detailing. Just use a tripod, and set up timer for 10 seconds, then return to your work...

looks great man, I love total auto wash on the engine

Thanks, me too, I really like P21S TAW on engine details. It's an awesome CD.

Great job man. How do you like the p21s cleaner?

I really do like it. It is not cheap, but is one of the very best wheel cleaners there is. It's the safest, and that's for sure. I also use Chemical Guys Sticky Gel (1:1) for maintaince details, and Megs Wheel Brightener when I need extra cleaning power.

I like and appreciate the way you showed actual pictures of the products. I like the way the foam soak just pulls the dirt off the painted surfaces and the wheels. I like the vacuuming strokes that you left on the carpet and the way the carpet came back looking like the fur on a stuffed animal. I understand the pictures, the way you laid the car on it's side so we can look down on the paint like a finely crafted slab of metal. I appreciate the picture of the 303 on the engine, showing it's efficacy on hard vinyl, important for a learner like me. I see it on the store shelves OTC but have always been hesitant to pull the trigger, not anymore.

This is the first time I've seen your whole car and it looks great. That interior looks sooooo inviting, I'm loving the interior on your car (the two tone is sweet).
BTW I have LM protection cream on the way.

thanks, Wytstang. Interior is inviting, and very comfortable... Interior is very quiet (not as quiet as on Mercedes S-Class though)...Leather is soft but not too soft, just perfect.
