    Hi guys

    I have a Acura TSX in for an enhancement detail. The purpose of this detail is to clean and add gloss to the paint, not paint correction. Car arrived in the rain and later turn sunny after when owner picked up.It had lots of grime n bugs.

    as always I started with the wheels first, they were clean with AF imperial wheel cleaner diluted 2:1, did a fine job cleaning the wheels but left some stubborn brake dust that was later knocked out with AF ironout and oblitarate. ( sorry no action shots as it was raining ) Tires were clean with 1Z W99 and stripped with oblitarate, then dressed with AF gloss.

    Paint was rinsed and washed with 1Z blitz and Adams car soap. later treated with AF iron out and oblitarate. Rinse and clayed. Then paint was IPA and polished with AF tripple to remove some light marring while adding protection and prep for AF tough coat.

    Interior was wipedown with 1Z cockpit and vacuum, glass clean with AF crystal. Trim and plastic were dressed with Adams super VRT.

    Looks amazing for just enhancement! Very well done! So how do you like AF Iron Out, say comparing it to Wolf's or Car pro Iron X?

    Thanks! If you don't care about the smell, then it's the strongest of all, but smell the worst out of all of them.
