I was contacted last week by a fellow member that just doesn't have the time to spend with his car as he did before. He has a plethora of products on hand (true sign that he's been hanging around here a while) to take care of the car in the in between time though. He may or may not chime in here and I will respect his privacy if he doesn't.
The subject was an '04 Acura TL in a medium gray color (Polished Metal Metallic?) that was showing some toweling marks and a few random deep scratches as well. It also had a few random "rub" marks that took away from the overall finish of the car.
The bad: I had to take it easy on the hood and fenders as the car is showing signs of paint failure(checking) in those areas so it's not perfect.
The paint contaminates were removed using an
elastrofoam block during the ONR wash. While this did cause minor marring the car was going to be polished and the wash and "claying" take just a few minutes. It's a no brainer.
All painted surfaces were polished using
Menzerna 106ff and a green
Lake Country CCS pad on my new Metabo
while all painted surfaces and lighting were cleaned/prepped with
Ultima PPP and sealed with Ultima
PGP.
The seats, dash and door panels were cleaned using
Ultima Interior Shampoo Gel to remove the 30 weight that had been applied during a recent interior detail. The Shampoo Gel gently but effectively cleaned away all of the gunk and paved the way for all of the surfaces to be protected using
Ultima Interior Guard Plus. IGP left the interior surfaces feeling silky and applied evenly without any fuss.

The owner was very hospitable to me and even insisted on buying me lunch on his dime. A true pleasure to work for!
Thanks for looking!
