Customer wanted to bring some life back into this 08 Accord with 85k. Wasn't looking for perfection so settled on an AIO. Accord had heavy RIDS and swirls on the outside and pet hair and thick grime on the inside. Customer took it to a local place in NJ and they refused to detail the car. Sorry no before pics besides the wheels and no sun shots because it was about to rain.

looks very nice and i know the owner had to be thrilled with that. megs d151 is one of my favorite aio's for more abused finishes.:bigups
 
Meticulous -

Wow - beautiful job !

Looks brand new again for a 6 year-old car !!!

I have Never - seen any car with a Landau top since the 80's - how did that happen to a Honda Accord, no less ? And pinstripes.. :)

Congratulations - super clean, Meticulous - work !!!

+1 excellent work :D

I have seen the Landau tops (AKA "mock tops") on a few cars and detailed a few of them even. IMO the only thing they're good for is reducing the amount of paint you have to correct on abused cars ... I have yet to see one on an UN-abused car.
