Okay, I'll try my best to keep this write up shorter, or at least post 50 pics and then wait till the next page opens to get another 50-60 pics posted....
First off, please don't ask how much I charged. Thanks.:nana:
The client called and asked for a complete show car quality detail even though it's not going into a show, just back into his garage, but he wants this done once a year basically.
The NSX is an 05 and the paint is extremely soft, softer then any other paint I've detailed before. I spent 16 hours alone on the paint just trying to get a combo mild enough to not leave holograms.
Anyways onto the pics, I'll start off with the inside and engine bays and such and try "quickly" to exlplain my processes.
First off, obviously I washed and clayed the car. Usual two buckets yadayada.....
Then for the interior I spent about 2 hours total, thoroughly dusting and vacuuming, and then a 303 wipe down of all panels and leather which was everywhere. Next I cleaned and treated the full leather wrapped interior with Zaino Z9 and Z10. It looked perfect afterwards.

Now onto the interior
Next, I started on the engine bays....yes bay's', the engine is rear mounted but the radiator and such is in the front....
So I took out the spare tires, cleaned it and waxed it with ZAIO then gave everything a gentle shampooing in the front and over the engine in the rear. Then I wiped it down with 303 10:1 ratio and after everything was clean enough I hand polished the both front hood and trunk hood with Zaino Fusion (ZPC) and then went over the same area with ZAIO for a beautiful glossy and extremely slick shine.
Here's the engine bays and hood liners.
Spare tire removed and sticker adhesive cleaned off with 3M Adhesive Remover, then polished and sealed with ZAIO.
Engine bays front
Polished Hood liner with ZPC and ZAIO
Rear engine bay with actual engine.
This is the cover that hold the roof panel when removed. It sheds horribly and covers everything in it's little wiskers.
It's hard to tell from this pic but the underlining of the trunk got the same ZPC and ZAIO as the under part of the front hood, I forgot to takes after pics of it though...:nixweiss
Basically every open area, door jams, trunk and hood painted jams and engine bay jams and all of it got hand polished two times with ZPC and ZAIO, I can't even describe to you the slickness it all had when complete, it actually felt soft physically like silk.
Start posting up while I upload the pics so by time I'm half way finished we'll have a second page to start so PC's don't freeze up.:xyxthumbs

I can't imagine working on that motor, though. Very tight quarters.
