328i Resurected: 2004 Acura TL Nighthawk Black Pearl
This car was hit by sprinklers on one side about a year ago, and nasty stains remained. Washing the car just made them more visible and overall the car had a lot of swirling from automatic car washes. It received a full interior and exterior detail and all the stains came out. The paint looked much clearer afterwords with only some deep RIDs remaining. My rotary went on me during final polishing so I got to break out the PC to finish a couple panels, glad I kept it. Unfortunately while photographing defects my camera died so I wasn't able to get any pics during polishing.

those rear shots are fantastic, especially the one with the elbow of the back window...running up to the top of the car. clouds look like they are superimposed on the car.

I agree, I probably wouldn't have considered a TL until now, I really liked the interior and it seemed a bit larger than my e90.
