Default Presidential Detailed: 2000 Acura Integra Type R

This is my friend Angelo's 2000 Integra Type R, it needed A LOT of work. I do not think the car has been touched in a LONG time but the car always looked good, but it needed to be polished real bad. So Angelo finally let me do my magic and it turned out amazing! We went ahead and did a Full Interior/Exterior Detail on the Integra. BEWARE TONS OF PICTURES! This is a pretty in depth write-up of everything that was done to the car, so get comfortable! Thanks for looking!

NOW TO THE FUN PART! EXTERIOR! Unfortunately, I took all before pictures of the door jambs and forgot to get after shots, but everything I took a picture of was either removed or cleaned































Washing the wheels and door jambs..










Claying the car..






Test Spot on the hood...


50/50 on hood with Menzerna IP/LC PFW Pad


The wheels get the best treatment possible, I swear that wheel wasnt floating when I took the picture!


Taking the wing off, this enables me to polish the trunk lid the correct way.














Taping off the car...




Did I mention this was a Jap car??


It aint a tight car unless its Type R!




50/50 on Front Fender after IP/PFW




Did I mention this car needed to be polished??


It needed to be washed at this point!


Last shots for day 1...Still need to go over again with 106ff/white and put LSP on.






After the wing bottom was polished, we re-installed to do the top. The tape is so that I dont hit the already polished fenders while polishing the wing...


Final Rinse Down..
