Thumbs up Detailing, An Ongoing Process, It Never ends-My 91 Legend-(13-Pics) - 09-11-2006, 03:44 PM

Hi DetailCity.

I'm always cleaning my Legend and detailing parts of it. I took some new pics yesterday evening and thought I'd share.

On the paint right now...hmmm-good question. I polished with SSr2.5 a couple months ago and followed that with polish with sealant, and Pinnacle Souveran, followed by Spray and Gloss.

It probably sees a hose once a month with Spray and Wipe, and Spray and Gloss being used for cleaning once or twice a week.

Sometimes I'll wax a panel or two also-it's layers of Poorboys and Pinnacle..

Take a look...

Looks beautiful!!! That red is dripping wet!


Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

Might be an extreme view - but IMO that legend front is THE all time best designed front of any car. If I have a legend in my rear view it's almost distracting...perfectly proportioned and oh so sleek and aggressive looking...

Thanks. LOL I appreciate it. I like Legends also-as you can tell. That's one of the reasons we have 2. Dad has a 94 coupe as his daily driver that he will be selling to my brother at the end of this year.

The gallery at Acura-Legend.com would really distract you then.

The legend has classic lines that will live on. The color is fantastic, nice deep red. Paint really looks great.

Pat, I've said it on the Legend forums, and I'll say it here again: Your car's an inspiration! Best looking 15-year-old car on the road today!
