First Post: TT widebody NSX! Walkthrough.

[Yzer]

This is my first post here. I have been reading this forum for quite sometime now. Here is a walkthrough on a friend of mines NSX. It is putting down around 450whp. I took pictures of the entire process because it will be going up on my website pretty quick.





Well this is what I detailed:

And here is the process I went through. I spent about 11 hours on it.







I started by washing the car with Dawn and a genuine sheepskin wash mitt to remove any previous wax:

I dried the car with a waffle weave micro fiber towel from Pakshak:

I then clayed the entire car incluing the windows and wheels:

After claying the car, I washed and dried it again





I made sure to dry all the areas of the car including the door jambs and so on:

I moved on to the polishing. I started with the greed edge pad with the PoorBoy's SSR2.5:

After removing the SSR2 polish, I used the orange pad with the PB's SSR1:

Next I put a coat of Zaino Z5:

I also applied the wax to the wheels as well.







While removing the wax with a waffle weave towel, I also carried around a tooth brush to remove any wax buildups or polish from the cracks or seals:

The next step was to vacuum the interior:

I used Folex to clean the carpets:

Detailed the interior:

Used Zaino Leather cleaner and conditioner:

Used Zaino Z16 Tire gloss:

I also used Stoner's glass cleaner for the windows. I finished the paint up with Zaino's Grand Finale Spray.

Here are some after pictures:

I did not get to detail the engine because I ran out of time. I did this detail for free in excange for these pictures. Here is a pic of the engine bay though:

There are a few pics that I forgot to take. This is the majority of them though. Hope you guys enjoy!

Also the car sits a little lower now. He raised it up a little so he could put so break in miles on the motor rebuild.

[mr.ikon]

That thing looks mean. Are those HRE wheels? Great detail by the way.

[ZaneO]

Wow...looks like that guys has lots of cool toys laying around the driveway



Great job on the detail!

 

[gav'spurplez]

sonus pads ?

wouldn't the green go with the ssr1 and the orange with the ssr2.5 :nixweiss

 

[Yzer]

They are the Edge pads. Here is a link for them:



Edge Pads



Green is medium cutting, orange is light.

Yes you are correct, they are HRE wheels!

The NSX looks awesome, but I'm more intrigued by the open-wheeled toy in the background. What's the story on it, if you happen to know?



Curious,

Tort

 

[klnyc]

Wow thats one sexy NSeX...Ummm turboed?

And that little toy on the background. Do you have any pics of that?



edit: Never mind, I did see the word TT on the subject... duh!

 

[Yzer]

It is a Merlyn. I dont know all the specs on it but here are some more pics of it. I have detailed this as well.

 

[Evenflow]

Wow amazing job man.



How do you like the Z9+Z10?? Also, can you show how much Z9/Z10 you used on the applicator pad?

 

[Yzer]

I like the Z9 and Z10. I cant really compare it to other leather products though. The main reason I like it is because of the new leather smell that it leaves behind. Makes the car almost smell new again. I dont have any pics of how much I used though. I just put a about a penny size drop on the applicator and went as far along with that as I could. When it looked like there was no more product, I added a little more.

 

[BobD]

Awesome!

Does that open wheel say "Autopia GT" on it?

NEVERMIND...I see the rest of the pics now. LOL

 

[johnhoefer]

That car is beyond sweet. Glad to hear its lowered again. Their engines have a great sound and his modded engine probably sounds mean as hell. Nice job on the detail, wet and shiny.

Probably one of the best step by step click and brags I've seen.... almost like watching a little movie.
