2004 Acura TL (Nighthawk Black Pearl) Project

These Nighthawk Black Pearl cars just keep comin’! Ken, a fellow Acurazine member took advantage of a special I’m offering to all Acurafest attendees today. It was a gloomy-overcast morning which disallowed me from seeing all the defects on the car. Upon inspection under the Halogens and my handy Fenix TK11 lights, swirls were everywhere! There were minimal scratches that I was able to remove/lighten. Ken opted to add an additional coat of some of my finest LSP; Pinnacle Sovereign Carnuba wax on top of a fresh layer of Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection (Sealant), the paint was poppin’! Anyways, enjoy the pics! The entire process took roughly 6 hours and a very tired arm.
