Default 91 NSX detail/orange peel correction

I did an NSX this week, such a beautiful car.

The owner had the front bumper re sprayed because of rock chips and it was left a little orange peel-y so I corrected that and finished with an exterior detail and swirl removal (not many swirls at all).

pre-soak

Wet sanding:



Buffing:


finished with buffing and polishing:

I used Meguiar's unigrit 2,000 grit. 3M sand paper is also great for cars. They both have a much better consistency in their sand than other papers so you get better results.

The process was wet sanding with 2,000grit (of course)
M105 w/ medium-cut wool pad > M205 w/ yellow polishing pad > M21 sealant applied by hand.

Next time i correct orange peel i'll do a write up.

Awesome job. Mine looks almost exactly the same and needs some detail work done for sure.

Tell the owner of that Nsx to get some real man tires for it, 615's don't cut it in that car

Sick car and sick work, what kind of buffer did you use for that?
