The owner of this S2000, Ryan, works with me. After showing him some pictures of previous details and as well as my car he decided to let me touch his new car. He just bought this Honda at the beginning of March and you can see from the pictures how great the dealership ‘detailers’ are. The defects were pretty rough in areas; heavy swirling, car wash scratches. The engine was apparently done with some sort of grease lol. It just looked plain nasty so I redid that my way. The calipers at one point were also ‘detailed’ and completely half-a** done. Areas were still completely covered in dirt and grime.


Products:
Meguiar’s M105, Meguiar’s M205, 3M Ultrafina, P21S Gel, APC, Lake Country Pads in Kompressor and CCS form in Orange to Blue, 3M Wool Pad, Porter Cable 7428 Rotary, Porter Cable 7424, 303 Aerospace Protectant, 303 High Tech Fabric Guard, 303 Convertible Fabric/Vinyl Top Cleaner, Stoner’s Invisible Glass, 0000 steel wool, Collinite 845, Poorboy’s World Natty’s Red Paste Wax, Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash, Cobra Bone, Optimum Optibond, Poorboy’s World Leather Stuff, DP Interior Protectant, Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing 4:1, Simple Green, and 3M Automotive Tape.

Engine Before:









Engine After: After being cleaned with steam, Simple Green, and dressed with Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing at 4:1.










Wheels Before: I let P21S gel do most of the work. I also pulled out APC for the heavier dirt. Various brushes were used.

Wheels After: Wheels are protected with Collinite 845 and tires are
dressed with Optimum Optibond. Wheel wells were dressed with Meguiar’s Hyper Dressing 4:1










During the details and paint correction. These are in random order because I don't have time to pick through each and every one of them to tell you what pass was made when.





Here's the proof. The passenger fender, front bumper, and passenger rocker were repainted. The clear on all of those panels were REDICULOUSLY hard. Harder than the Lamborhini that I did.

Yes I realize that in alot of the pics there are holograms... They were removed, trust me.


After pictures:


Interior: Dash was cleaned with a damp (water) microfiber applicator. The interior was very clean so there was no need for hard cleaners. Dash was dressed with DP Interior Surface Protectant. Carpets were vacuumed with a Shop Vac and extracted with a Bissell Little Green Machine Proheat with APC 6:1 for solution. Leather seats were cleaned with Lexol Cleaner and conditioned with Poorboy’s World Leather Stuff. Glass was cleaned with Stoner’s Invisible Glass.

Paint: The correction was done all on rotary on MOST panels. Some panels would just NOT finish out with the rotary. I tried all that I could with the Ultrafina, but it just didn’t want to cooperate so I was forced to pull the PC 7424 for times’ sake. I’m sure if I had more time I could’ve figured something out though… I used Meguiar’s M105, M205, 3M Ultrafina. Pads used were Lake Country Kompressor from Orange to Gray and Lake Country CCS pads ranging in sizes from 4” to 5” ranging from Orange to Blue. Protection is Collinite 845 for daily driver durability. The LSP is two coats of Poorboy’s World Natty’s red. Exhaust was polished with 0000 steel wool. All trim was cleaned with 3M General Purpose Adhesive Remover and dressed with 303 Aerospace Protectant.
The convertible top was cleaned with 303 Convertible Fabric/Vinyl Top Cleaner and a soft nail brush. It was then dressed with two coats of 303 High Tech Fabric Guard.
All glass was cleaned with Stoner’s invisible Glass.

Had one of them myself, in blue - blue interior, fun little go carts for sure..

It makes such a HUGE difference when the wheels are taken off and cleaned on the inside.

[PowerShiftz02GT]

nice man. How much do you charge to do a whole car like that? Looks like a lot of hard work

[zinc02GT]

PM sent.

Thanks guys.

I spent about 23 hours on the entire car. The wheels alone took about 4 hours and the engine was done while doing the wheels. The engine took no time at all. The claying stage took about 1.5 hours, the polishing took about 17 hours, top took about an hour, and the final details with the wax took up the rest ofthe time.

Nice job on the banana Dylhan

Thats really good man. Yellow is hard to work with I am sure.

How hard was it to clean the inner rims, and what did you use?

The 0000 Steel Wool for the exhuast tips... did you just rub it down with the steel wool and then coat them in a wax? What kind of wax if you did?

I see you have a banner from the IP. Been there... drove by it yesterday acually.

Holy crap. That is amazing. You do great work.

Huh?

I used P21S gell on the wheels and a dedicated wheel mitt.

After cleaning the exhaust with 0000 steel wool you can use Collinite 845. I did not wax the exhaust tips though. Collinite is extremely durable and fairl heat resistant. If it will last on wheels, it'll last on an exhaust tip.
