Presidential Detailed: JDMUPS 2004 Acura TSX

[Presidential_Detail]

This is Mikes TSX from JDMUPs. Mike gave me a call last week, let me know he was going to HIN(today actually) and was interested in a sponsorship and wanted me to do the work since I support their shows. So I hooked him up with a Presidential Exterior Detail in exchange for some coverage at the show! Now, this car was actually in pretty rough shape after I REALLY looked at it. The car had a TON of fallout and I spent nearly the entire day inspecting every inch of the car with a clay bar in hand..talk about going cross eyed staring into white paint all day! I worked long and hard on this one to have it done in time for him to leave to Miami today, its turned out great! Enjoy!

Now some final shots, unfortunately it was pretty late when I finished so I couldnt get any final day shots. This car is going to HIN, so Im sure it will come back with PLENTY of nice shots!

My favorite shot..






Some nice reflections coming off of white paint!










No more bugs!






A little bit of sponsorship..




Updated pictures from HIN will be posted once i receive them!
