Full Vehicle Detail/ NEGLECTED 2004 Acura TL

[@detailsmw5995]

Great job! That’s one of the best cars Honda/Acura ever built in my opinion.

[@atouchofhutchad]

Thank you! And yes I agree, I’ve always loved those model Acura’s.

[@rickdipippo4077]

Facts ive own one for about a year now with 180k miles thing runs fucking beautiful

[@mrdave777]

Ditto! My 06 has over 170k. Very strong

[@MsEllee]

Agree! I have an 08 TSX with 120K miles recently took it to the dealer for a transmission fluid change he said the car was in excellent condition..

[@supersabrosinho]

I own both a 3rd gen and a 4th Gen Acura TL both with 6mts. The 3rd gen is nice, and I use it as a daily driver. But it is not even on the same league as the 4th gen with the sh-awd. I save my 2011 6MT for the times I really want to smile!

[@ThuanTran-nv9yb]

You sir are a good friend. I have a 06 that we bought for my wife and still have it now with 145K miles. Cracked dash sucks but it's been a very reliable car.

[@waltermiller215]

@Thuan The Dreaded Cracked Dashboard ISN'T your fault, ALL OF THE 04-08 ACURA TL"S HAVE THAT PROBLEM...AS WELL DO I.

[@guy990]

Damn they clean up nice. Only North America got these cars. True Acura designed and engineered product

[@atouchofhutchad]

I’ve always loved these models!

[@neiltiwari1765]

Dude! Those lines in carpet are such a professional touch. I hardly see anyone do that. 👍🏾

[@atouchofhutchad]

Thanks for the kind words! I’m not always able to leave the carpets looking like that because of the different styles of carpet but when I can it’s super satisfying

Great job of detailing that TL. I am encouraged to go and detail my Accord EX. Ordering brushes from Amazon. Thanks again!

[@davidsalsedo6176]

Thank you for this video and the links in the description I haven't been able to find a detailing video like this that shows all the tools used aswell

[@atouchofhutchad]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it

[@TaylorMMontgomery]

Just FYI anyone that owns a TL or is going to be cleaning one: these cars are amazing overall but have very poor quality material in the dash and seats. reddit/forums always suggest to never use any conditioning type product on the seats or dash as it'll just dry it out faster and will accelerate cracking on both. That's what I've been doing, just use very mild diluted cleaner on both the seats and dash and you'll be fine. and use get a sunshade to put in the windshield on hot days.

[@LV_UA7]

Awesome video dude can’t wait for summer to do all this on my TLS 🤟

[@atouchofhutchad]

Appreciate it! Hope your project goes well!

[@texasyall948]

I love this man. Thanks for sharing this. I have the same car and I never thought of removing the seats to properly clean it. 🍻🤙🏽

I would love to clean up your TL for you, Thanks for the love!

[@nicolasbourget4163]

I love how he deep cleaned all the console electronics ! If you like to work all cramped and beeing all sweatty from the steam, its your buzz . You would cut your cleaning time by half by removing the carpet and pressure wash/rince it . Nothing in tje car or electrics wire/connector have been soaked .

[@Al404DVP]

04 TSX here, white, 6spd manual showroom. Clay bar/polish/wax once a yr at least. Handwash and keep inside super clean. Rust spray every 2yrs, krown. If there is a will, there is a way.

[@atouchofhutchad]

Right on

[@JonnyQ408]

I brought my daughter an 20005 TL it needs some TLC I'm going to give it a full detail. starting with a dash one of the flaw of owning a 3rd gen TL the dash cracks.

[@atouchofhutchad]

Yes, unfortunately. Real nice cars besides the dash. Happy for your daughter!

[@Carlos-yz5kz]

If you haven't already get a cover lay dashboard cover. It's a hard plastic that looks good and fits really tight, it has to be glued on. Way better than any dash Matt and only $169

[@alphasaiyan5760]

Great video though btw. That stuff is harder work than most people think.

[@atouchofhutchad]

Thank you

[@alphasaiyan5760]

Absolutely. I’ve been washing and detailing my own cars for years now. How do you feel about using dawn dish soap as an old wax and polish removing soap ? I’ve always had good results with it.

[@atouchofhutchad]

I don’t think it would hurt anything and I’m sure it does a great job removing any old waxes and polishes. I have some friend that use it to wash their vehicles

[@alphasaiyan5760]

@@atouchofhutchad sweet. Yeah I’ll keep using it. I just always use a quick detail product directly after drying the vehicle. I like the turtle wax quick detail spray.

[@atouchofhutchad]

Haha nice pun. Thanks for the kind words

[@tangsuto978]

@@atouchofhutchad I literally watched the whole video. Great explanations and pacing. You deserve more followers and views. Most detailing videos don’t show the complete process. Side note, what do you use for your aqua vac (I think that’s what you called it)?

[@atouchofhutchad]

@@tangsuto978 appreciate the kinds words my friend. In the Aqua Vac Pro solution tank I just use hot water because I’m already laying down chemical on the fabric. Hope that helps

[@Arnerse]

Seemed like a fairly straight car outside of the dirtiness, you’ve brought it back to full glory well done!! What would you suggest to refreshen the headlights, I see what you’ve done and they look miles better. Mine have a hazing and foggy look, didn’t wanna have to buy new or use sandpaper.. Also how long does a detail like this take you? Or did it take you. Is this spread out over multiple days. When I go this detailed it may take me a few days

[@atouchofhutchad]

@@Arnerse appreciate the kind words. For your headlights, if you want something quick you can use a wool or microfiber pad with a cutting compound and then finish with a foam polishing pad and polish and they will look a ton better. If you want to go a step further you could do 1500, 2k, 3k wet sand and re spray with 2k clear coat. There are a lot of videos on that process. As far as how long this detail takes me, it is a 2 day job because of pulling those ads. If I didn’t pull the seats it would be a one day job. Hope that helps!

[@Arnerse]

@@atouchofhutchad i love that you reply to 4 yr old videos! I will have to look into that process, I’m a bit wary as I don’t want to worsen them. But they could use a refresh, sitting at 146k it’s the worst looking thing on the car. What did you perform in this video? The sandpaper way it sounded like! Right on I’ve never removed seats during a detail or had the convenience of a steamer but you made quick attentive work. If you could pick an item or two that made your job much easier what would they be and why?

[@atouchofhutchad]

@@Arnerse in this video I just did a compound and polish and honestly, it shouldn’t hurt yours, I wouldn’t be afraid to try it. As far as my process goes, I’ve changed a lot since then lol. If you’re trying to do the same with your vehicle I would look into the P&S 3 step carpet system or the Labocosmetica 2 step system. I don’t use APC on fabrics anymore, it can just cause issue down the line.

[@VonDonP]

Wow just bought a 2011 Acura TSX and I want to learn how to clean like this but I gotta buy a wet vac and pressure washer, oh and all the cleaners and accessories

[@atouchofhutchad]

There are a few kits you can get online that may save you some money and check Amazon for some well priced machines.

[@Gordo101978]

I love that model TL but it’s unfortunate that Honda couldn’t have used better quality material when making the dashboard on that car, the interior is mint and the cracks make it look soo bad, I had a ‘90 Accord until about 2001 and the dash never cracked

[@atouchofhutchad]

Thanks for the nice words. It is unfortunate about the cracking dashboard. It’s about the only imperfection on this car and hopefully my friend is able to get it replaced.

[@ua6jj328]

Trynna find another non Cracked dash is like finding the winning lotto ticket 🤣

[@B-rad1]

I just bought a used 08 with a pristine dash and I am doing everything possible to prevent the inevitable, but I know it's for nothing. One day it's gonna crack, just like the perforated leather seats.

[@ua6jj328]

@@atouchofhutchad yeah dont forget the terrible transmission that's blows up like a balloon

[@atouchofhutchad]

Try the ultima guard plus or 30 aerospace protectant. Don’t know if this will help but it’s worth a try, hope it works for you!

Haha yes we worked it out. Thanks for the kind words. It’s not too difficult to remove seats- disconnect your battery, remove the seat bolts, and disconnect the power to the seats and the air bag sensors

[@alangarcia1161]
