Most people who see a car in this condition would assume that the paint is gone and cannot be restored.  This client was interested in reconditioning and restoring his black Acura TL A-Spec and he found the right detailer.  We scheduled a full paint correction detail that will then be protected by Cquartz UK.  Before correction I noted all of the areas where the paint would eventually fail.  The entire car was covered in paint failure and chipping that was soon to fail.  This was something the client understood and we went with a thick and cost effective coating to protect the paint for as long as it can last.  In cases like this, it is the detailers responsibility to inform the client of the paint failure that will eventually happen.  But for now, the goal was to make the car look presentable and something the owner can be proud of.

As you can see, even after extensive paint correction, the hood has blemishes that are actually spots of paint failure. It’s a shame, but overall the appearance has been dramatically improved.

DETAILING AND CQUARTZ

The paint correction process restored and recondition the surface of the clear coat. In the end I was able to remove around 90% of the defects (not including the failure).  Sadly, nothing could be done about the regions of paint failure.  After topping with Cquartz UK, the surface is protected for up to 2 years where the owner only needs to carefully wash his car. No more waxing or sealing for a long time.  The coating also provides the surface with a very nice level of depth and gloss, unmatched by any other wax.
