A package three detail of a 2007 Acura RL in Black, car was in desperate need of a proper detail and was severely chipped in the front end. The chips are still very noticeable on the front end, simply because the paint is missing and beyond repair at a detail level, however the gloss of the paint helps to hide them to the naked eye.

This was a 2 1/2 day process starting with the wash, clay bar and rewash then the following for paint correction:

Menzerna Intensive Polish - Orange pad on PC
Ardex SealB - Orange pad on PC
Menzerna Final Polish II - White pad on PC
Menzerna Finishing Touch glaze - White pads on Cyclo
Optimum Opti-Seal - Microfiber applicator by hand
Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax - Microfiber applicator by hand

On to the before pics!
