I finally got a chance to getting a detail session on my new Si, but first a bit of info on the car: I sold my old 350hp '91 Galant VR4 daily car (detailed by GSRStilez) and bought this Si back in late February as a leftover 2004 - (the car had 6 miles on it). It was washed a few times @ our whop (www.z1auto.com) but the weather never cooperated for a decent detail. The process/products are as follows:
NXT wash
Sonus clay
NXT wash
Megs #9 by hand
AIO by hand on body + wheels
NXT by hand
EO wheel cleaner
EO tire dressing
EO never dull on intake pipe/exhaust tips
NXT glass cleaner
The car had very very light swirls from the dealer wash that I was able to get out by hand without too much trouble. A PC is in my near future
I have no "befores" as the car was pretty clean from a wash last week but the car came out pretty well. This was the first AIO experience for me and I was really pleased...it goes on and off SO easily with a microfiber applicator and left some nice slickness. NXT seems to highlight flake IMHO so I thought it'd be a nice LSP.
Here are some pics...excuse some of the jagged edges, I'll never use this camera's enhanced sharpness again (Olympus D-550 3.2MP).
Overall of the car, bodykit, rims and drop
Flake
Decent reflection for silver...
Mmmmmm, titanium
Mods are as follows:
-HFP body kit (Honda Factory Performance)
-HFP grey-metallic 17x7 rims
-HFP shocks/springs (1 inch drop + more aggressive valving/spring rates, rumored to be UK Type R suspension).
-DC sports Titanium strut brace
-Injen intake
