This past weekend I got rid of MY 2 Acuras for my wife. She got a new 2014 Acura MDX. So that mean I will have to drive her CRV till I get a new car later this summer.

The car was delivered on Saturday and I told the dealer not to take the factory wrap off till I get to the dealership.

Picking the car up.

I took the car to a coin wash and washed off the dirt with pressure washer, and then used Blackfire Waterless wash cleaning her up.

After BF waterless I used Blackfire CS to seal it up.

Love the look of the new Acura Jewel LED headlights

Enjoy...

Awesome job, those headlights are killer!! It's great to see other people detailing MDX's. Here's a picture of my 2007 MDX in Billet Silver Metallic

I am a lighting guru - I like vehicle lighting more than I like detailing by far. I always love how Acura is among the pioneers of lighting. Acura and Audi. Eventually I hope to own an Acura for that purpose alone (all the additional awesome features are just sugar on top!).

Yea, I loved back in 2001 getting HID standard on my TL.
and now great to see LEDs standard.

Seems like you like lighting, good fuel economy, power and space.

..sounds like a '14 Accord EX-L v6 or Touring is in your future. One hell of a car for the price. Same dual screen setup as in your MDX, some of the best LED driving lights out there, incredible fuel economy for a 290hp sedan. I came from a '04 TL and this Accord, although it's the 4-cyl. version, is much nicer feeling. The power of the v6 in the Accord feels much better than my TL did. I had to leave the dealership before I bought the EX-L v6 on a whim lol
