    What we have here is a 2002 RSX Type-S Pearl white with 50k miles and a little something extra under the hood.

    The owner was looking to get the car cleaned up for an upcoming photo shoot but timing didn’t allow for us to do a full correction. So we opt to do a Wash, Clay, 30mins of Spot correction, seal and wax package.
    Car came out fantastic with a beautiful glow and that really highlights the color shift of the pearl especially under low light conditions. I look forward to seeing this car again for some additional paint work but it should still show very well during the photo shoot with only what we were able to do!

    Thanks for viewing!

    Bit of spot correction, no idea what it was but it was in the clear coat and took some work to remove!

    All better…

    So as I worked around the car the Pearl kept saying put some Amigo on me, I know it’s not part of the package but look at me!... So I obliged…

    After Amigo, paint began picking up a low glow and a warmth…

    All done and ready for the owner! Unfortunately the sun had gone away and not destined to return until later in the week :(

    cleaned up the best we could, the heat from all that POWA under the hood has taken its toll on the clear coat

    Couple back in the bay to show the warmth and glow under the lighting with all the LSP applied
