Had my work cut out for me on this particular day. Black on black daily driven full-size SUV, taken off-road, mostly tunnel washes, 2 kids, etc. Had the pleasure meeting forum member, Craig Lnu, who was the owner and happens to keep *his* black MDX in stellar shape. No surprise the family hauler of the stable has seen the most use. On this GL, there were a couple repainted panels, moderate contaminants bonded, and moderate to heavy swirling throughout. I was able to bring this back to 98%+ in just shy of 11 hours.
