Fresh Detail: RsxS! I love 50/50s!

[Carbon Blue]

Now this was definitely an extensive detail! The owner from clubrsx.com (Silver DC5 TypeS) dropped the car off overnight and upon arrival the car was somewhat clean but it still had its fair share of swirl marks due to it never being polished in its entire 6 years. The owner contacted me prior to wheel installation because he wanted his new rims sealed so that it would be protected from the daily elements and brake dust. Though people say black cars are the hardest to clean Id definitely say that lighter colored cars are harder to improve upon to make a noticeable difference. I took around 400+ pics because trying to capture the imperfections in the paint were so diffucult. The car received the entire exterior and interior treatment. Enjoy!

Nice job, you put your comments at the bottom of the pics so I didn't know which pic you were referring to in your comments? Very confusing.



Looks like you did a good job though? did you refer to another RSX as a "beast"? :lol

Nice detail work . Was hard to see the 50/50 shots . The wheels look terrific. They fill up the look perfectly .
