Default Presidential Detailed: 2000 Phoenix Yellow ITR

Its been a while since Ive posted one of my details to this forum. Got bored, so dug up one of the very first details I performed when I started my detailing business about 4 years ago. Its pretty cool to go back and see the products and techniques that I was using and how much has changed since then.

This particular car belonged to a friend of mine. Its a 2000 Integra Type R, overall was in great shape, but needed a lot of love still. So Angelo finally let me do my magic and I think it turned out amazing! Love looking back at the Honda/Acuras that I have done in the past, they are always fun to work on.

Here are the pics: We will start with the Interior...ENJOY!

NOW TO THE FUN PART! EXTERIOR! Unfortunately, I took all before pictures of the door jambs and forgot to get after shots, but everything I took a picture of was either removed or cleaned































Washing the wheels and door jambs..










Claying the car..






Test Spot on the hood...


50/50 on hood with Menzerna IP/LC PFW Pad


The wheels get the best treatment possible, I swear that wheel wasnt floating when I took the picture! :lol:


Taking the wing off, this enables me to polish the trunk lid the correct way.














Taping off the car...








50/50 on Front Fender after IP/PFW




Did I mention this car needed to be polished??


It needed to be washed at this point!


Last shots for day 1...Still need to go over again with 106ff/white and put LSP on.






After the wing bottom was polished, we re-installed to do the top. The tape is so that I dont hit the already polished fenders while polishing the wing...


Final Rinse Down..

Thanks guys! I enjoy looking back at these write-ups from time to time. This one was a great turn around. Not sure where this R is anymore, the owner sold it some time ago.

Yeah man! I still remember you. I am still detailing, just more as a hobby/side job now on weekends. I have a full time job during the week. Check out the link in my signature, some of my packages have probably changed since we last spoke. Ill PM you my number and email. Hope everything is going well for you!

Its been a while since I performed this detail, but I am probably safe to say I spent somewhere around 20 hours on it from beginning to end.
