Lexus Red Del Sol: Detailed!
This is the first Honda I've shot with my new camera. I hope you enjoy it.
I'm going to say this first: I'm not a professional photographer. I just like to have a little fun with a good camera now that I have one. The photos are through a stock camera with a basic lens and a uv filter, no computer processing or effects added; they are raw. Now on to the show!
This is a nice little 93 del sol. Doesn't need a ton of work but it got a little past its glory days, paint wise. It was up to me to return it to its full potential. Below are the before pics, after a wash and a clay treatment.

I used a makita rotary with mostly 3M products and an Optimum polish thrown in there for good measure
I used a blend of both syntheitc and natural waxes with an orbital machine application. I experimented with that procedure on my Tacoma and its beading water like new paint almost two months later, without a wash since the initial application.
This car made me want to throw in the towel on my LS-V EK sedan and get back into the del slo game. I miss my old one sooooo bad. Not to mention the del sol was my first Honda. <3
