Car Detailing for Acura ILX

Detailing your Acura ILX

The ILX is the entry Acura that a lot of recent graduates in Scarborough and Markham bought as a first nice car, and it has usually done years of commuting by now. The thin clear coat takes a fine polish rather than heavy correction, and a sealant keeps the salt film from sticking. Inside, the Parchment leather gets foamed, the dual screens get a lint-free towel and the scuffed lower door plastics get cleaned and dressed matte.

What we watch for on a ILX

• Parchment leather shows denim dye and dirt in the perforations; a foaming cleaner and a soft brush restore it evenly
• The dual-screen centre stack shows fingerprints and the lower screen's gloss surround scratches; screen cleaner and a lint-free towel only
• Honda-family clear coat on this era of cars is thin, so we correct with a fine polish rather than heavy compound and recommend a sealant
• Hard plastic lower door panels and the rear bumper step scuff white from boots and bags; a gentle cleaner and a matte dressing bring them back
• The trunk is shallow and the carpet thin, so salt from bags soaks through; an extraction keeps it fresh

Luxury cars: soft paint, delicate trim

Premium interiors use more leather, open-pore wood and gloss trim, and premium paint is often softer. We use gentler chemistry, soft microfibre and slower machine passes so nothing is marred.
