Attention To Detail - 2003 Acura RSX Type-S Severe Correction

[Andrew H]

Worked on this RSX over the course of three days, owner was very pleased with the results. As you can tell, the paint was in pretty rough condition, especially considering the fact that this vehicle has just over 20 thousand miles.

What was done to the exterior :
- Wheels hit with Sonax full effect and iron x
- De-Bugged with TW Bug and Tar Remover
- Exterior wash using foam gun w/ CG Citrus Wash
- Door, hood and trunk jambs cleaned
- Aquartz Iron Cut to decontaminate
- Clayed entire exterior including windows
- Taped up
- 3 step - m105 -> menz sip -> menz SF
- Rubber and vinyl cleaned w/ ReNu
- Exhaust tip polished
- Windows clayed again and cleaned with prima clarity
- Wheels waxed with Prima Wheel Armour
- Exterior Wax -> Megs Ultimate Liquid Wax

Amazing resurrection! Even with only 20k it still probably has probably not looked this good in 10 years!

[LatinFG2]

Awesome results! Great work.

[VISITOR]

I've always like those rsx's and was sad to see them go a few years ago. looks great now!

[Chicago Tommy]

Great results! IDK why, but I'm a fan of white diamond paint.

[wrb_subie]

You do a hell of a job taking the pics of your work.

[davey g-force]

Great work :xyxthumbs:

[drvnbysound]

As an RSX owner myself... loved seeing the work.

Also, glad to see the removal of the rear spoiler. I'll be buying some pads to do a complete correction soon, and had been debating how I wanted to tackle that area - nice to see that removal is so easy and will make polishing that paint a LOT easier.

Beautiful work! Car came out great!
