Default So I just detailed an NSX...

I am starting my own business with Mobile Detailing/Paint Restoration

...just thought I'd share last weekend's detail with everyone here since it was my favorite Honda



So, I made the trip out my client's house and it seemed a bit different than what I am used to here in Pasadena, IT WAS COLD & WINDY!!!!!, but I did come prepared with hoodys to keep warm.

I get there to see the supercar of the Honda Brand, a 1991 Acura NSX, with 13k original miles! WOW



Staggered Manaray Wheels, Honda badges, all the exterior plastics were in perfect condition (tail lights, bumper lights, etc) This thing was nice.

Only thing that was really standing out as a problem was the paint with scratches and swirls...







Bad doggies. Scratches from the dogs.



Well, it was time to get started...








Here, I taped off the area for my test spot




Don't mind the dust here, every few minutes or so the wind would blow in and bring a huge amount of dust with it... all over the car, so we had to close the garage to prevent that.



Didn't show up too well in the garage, so we went outside and did another test on the trunk lid...



Wheels done











Here is when all the polishing was done, and the synthetic sealant was applied.





And here are the best after shots I could get...

Looks great! Is that wax residue on the front lip or is just like that?

I have a question, how do you wash a car so that it doesn't get those swirls? Hahaha...
