Car Detailing for Acura Integra

Detailing your Acura Integra

The Integra is the Acura that Civic Si owners graduated to, and the Type S is the one with wide fenders and a track-day calendar. We flush the Brembo dust from the wheels, check the arches for stone chips and polish the pearl paint lightly before sealing it. Inside, the Ultrasuede inserts get a suede-safe cleaner, the piano-black console gets a soft cloth and the hatch-exposed cargo carpet gets extracted for the slush it collects.

What we watch for on a Integra

• The liftback hatch opens the whole rear glass, so the cargo carpet sees slush in winter and benefits from an extraction
• Ultrasuede seat inserts darken with hand oils and need a microfibre-specific cleaner and a soft brush rather than leather products
• Type S cars have wide fenders and 19-inch wheels with Brembo brakes; stone chips on the arches and baked brake dust are the usual issues
• Tiger Eye Pearl and Apex Blue Pearl show swirls and iron fallout; a decontamination wash and a fine polish restore the depth
• The piano-black console scratches from keys and rings; a plush microfibre and no abrasive cleaner keep it clear

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.
