Gettin' em done for Acurafest! 04 NHBP TL reachin for my pinnacle

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.

Here’s the process:

Chemical Guys Citrus Wash with Euro-W Bucket + Grit Guard & DI Sheepskin Mitt
Clay Magic Ultra Fine Clay with Optimum No Rinse Wash as lube
Meguiars M105 / UDM 4″ / Wool
Menzernas P085RD / UDM 4″ / White
Menzernas P085RD / Flex 3401 5.5″ / Orange
Optimum Poli-seal / Flex 3401 5.5″ / Cyan
Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection / By Hand / Foam Pad (Synthetic Polymer Sealant)
Pinnacle Soverieign Carnuba Wax / By Hand / Foam Pad
Surf City Garage Wash & Wax Shampoo with Euro-W Bucket + Grit Guard & DI Sheepskin Mitt (Second wash)
Optimum Spray Wax
Duragloss Aquawax (On wheels)
Optimum Power Clean
Stoners Invisible Glass
Optimum Optibond
303 Aerospace Protectant
Optimum Metal Polish / #0000 Steel Wool
