  • NSX Detailed

    I had the pleasure of detailing a friends NXS. From a distance the car didn't look bad at all but once you got direct sunlight on it, it was really swirled up and was in desperate need of a good claying too as it felt like sandpaper in some areas. I first washed the car with Meguiars Gold Class and then I clayed the car with Meguiars Smooth Surface clay kit. Then I started polishing with Menzerna SIP on an orange LC pad with my UDM and after the initial polishing, I polished it again with 106FF on a white LC pad to bring the paint up to a high gloss. After that the car was washed again and I then applied a coat of DWG and then a coat of UPGP. I let that cure over night and then did another coat of DWG and another coat of UPGP and let it cure overnight again. The next day I wiped the car down with Zaino Z-8. On the tires I used Zaino Z-16 and Eagle One Nano Protectant on the interior. When all was done, the car felt smoother than glass and I saw no swirls when back in the sun. All in all the polishing took me about 15 hours (I took my time as he didn't need the car right back). So, here are some of the shots.

    Awesome job! That paint really pops! What does DWG and UPGP stand for?

          Great Work! Way to take out those swirls!

          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.

                  Wow doesn't even begin to explain it. It looks phenomenal!! Is that the stock color? Hadn't seen one in that color before, but, man, does it look good! Very nice correction all around. Good work, my friend, good work.

                  A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                    Much appreciated! It is a stock color but one of the more rare ones, it's sooooo sexy and it corrects like butter.
