Better paint than the Honda it's based on, sharp Type S performance, and the halo NSX — detailed to match the badge.
Acura is Honda's premium arm, and the paint reflects the step up — generally better and more durable than the equivalent Honda, with deeper colors and a more refined finish. From the everyday TLX and MDX to the Type S performance models and the carbon-bodied NSX supercar, each gets care matched to where it sits in the lineup. We treat a daily MDX the way its owner expects, and the NSX the way an exotic demands — the same crew, two very different standards of work.
Acura paint is a genuine step above the Honda platform it shares — the clear is a bit more robust and the colors have more depth and refinement. Apex Blue Pearl, Performance Red, Majestic Black, and the special finishes reward correction with real richness, and they hold up better than the older Honda clears that were prone to failure. That said, it's still a daily-driver finish that swirls from automatic washes and benefits from protection.
The Type S performance models — TLX Type S, Integra Type S — bring sharper expectations and owners who care about the details, plus a bit more brake dust from harder driving. Correcting these cars properly and protecting them is what keeps an enthusiast daily looking its best.
Then there's the NSX. The hybrid supercar is a different animal entirely — an aluminum-and-carbon body, special finishes like Berlina Black, Curva Red, and Long Beach Blue Pearl, and a low, exposed front end. It's effectively an exotic and gets exotic-level treatment: conservative correction, PPF on the front, and concierge handling. The everyday Acuras want sensible correction-and-ceramic; the NSX wants the supercar playbook.
The damage patterns we see most on these specific vehicles.
Acura's better clear still swirls from tunnel washes, and deep colors like Majestic Black show it. A correction clears the haze and brings out the depth these refined colors carry.
TLX and Integra Type S models see harder driving and more brake dust. Wheel coating and a body coating keep an enthusiast daily looking sharp between washes.
The NSX's low nose and special finishes like Berlina Black are exotic-level concerns — stone chips and delicate paint that call for PPF and conservative, careful correction.
For the everyday Acuras — TLX, MDX, RDX, Integra — a single-stage correction plus a mid- to higher-tier ceramic coating is the right package. It protects the refined clear, locks in a deep gloss on colors like Apex Blue and Majestic Black, and makes a premium daily driver wash up quickly and safely. The Type S models get a wheel coating to manage the extra brake dust, and front film is worth considering for highway commuters.
The NSX gets the supercar treatment. Given the special finishes, the aluminum-and-carbon body, and the low, exposed front, the plan is PPF-first on the front end — bumper, hood, fenders — under a high-end ceramic, with conservative correction to preserve delicate paint. Many NSX owners go full-front or further.
Inside, Acura's leather, Alcantara (on Type S and NSX), and the ELS-equipped cabins get material-appropriate care. Everything is mobile for the daily cars, with concierge pickup available for the NSX.
Acura interiors step up from the Honda base — leather seating, Alcantara on the Type S and NSX, Olive Ash wood or metal trim, and the excellent ELS audio. The leather is nicer and the Alcantara on the performance cars needs the gentle, nap-preserving care that any suede surface demands.
We clean and condition the leather, treat the Alcantara carefully, bring the screens to a clear finish, and detail the trim and console. On the NSX, the cabin gets the same exotic-level attention as the exterior. A well-kept Acura interior has a refinement that justifies the badge over its Honda relatives.
