So I arrive today to detail this car for a L4P member and I glance over the car, think about what it would take to get it looking best again, give him my thoughts and he says...this is just for a clean up/polishclay/wax...we will do the full complete detail after I do a couple things to the car!" Sounds good to me, I know my game plan! What I didnt know was exactly what polish I was going to go with! I ended up trying out two polishes for a mild polish with SOME corrective ability - meguiars 205 and menzerna 203...overall winner was menzerna for more defect removal, and total gloss!!! It was a much needed overhaul for the car as oxidation, swirling, fallout was taking over the car!



I started on the car with an ONR wash (quick wash)

Then I followed with the following process/products:

clay - megs last touch with clay magic red clay

polish - menzerna 203 power finish

waxing - collinite 845



total time estimated - 4 hours

total time invested - 6 hours (the things I do for L4P members)

extra time invested was well worth the results as the embedded contaminants were not coming off the paint easily!

this is why it took soooo long to clay...like this all over the car, and I dont just get it "good enough". I go for it all!!!

Slap on a Powerhouse Amuse front end and exhaust and call it a day :)

I'm going to miss the S2000 in the Honda lineup.



Nice 1 step detail. White is such a PITA to work with especially when there's plenty of contamination.
