  • My First Detail "Job" (56k not friendly!)

    A few days ago my buddy Mike came to me in hopes of being able to detail his 2002 S2000 from top to bottom and obviously I obliged.

    Products:
    Meguiars Gold Class Wash/Condition
    Meguiars Clay Kit w/ Quik Detail
    Meguiars G110a Polisher
    M205 Ultimate Polishing Compound w/ Polishing Pad
    NxT 2.0 Tech Wax w/ Finishing Pad
    Bleche-White Tire Cleaner
    Meguiars All Wheel Cleaner
    Meguiars Hot Shine Tire shine
    Meguiars All Natural Interior Conditioner
    3M Streakless Glass Cleaner
    Mothers Back-Black (Vinyl convertible)


    To start off, dirty pre-wash:









    Wheel Grime Before:



    Dirty Convertible Top (Faded also):



    Grimy Exhaust Tips:



    Clean Afters:



















    Slight Swirling, hard to see with this lighting and camera:



    A quick round, single pass of M105 at Speed 5 on a Polishing Pad:





    Interior, au natural:



    The Key Reflection Shots:







    That is all :popcorn:

    Looks Great! Nice work, it sure paid off!

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

      Nice car, love the S2k.

      BTW I see right fender/bumper paint mismatch... just like my car! lol

          Nice Work..! and a great car.

          That finished pic of the wheel was really good...Looks like magnesium!

          What is the body-kit?Is it wings West? Quite a nice finisher...not an over the top kit.

            Thanks, I was super proud about the wheels the most, the paint wasn't too bad to being with, the clay barely got dirty.

            I'm not sure what kit it is though, sets it off just perfectly.
