91 Acura NSX detail and orange peel correction.
I did an NSX this week, such a beautiful car.

The owner had the front bumper re sprayed because of rock chips but was left a little orange peel-y so I corrected that for him and finished with an exterior detail and swirl removal (hardly any swirls at all).

pre-soak





The orange peel issue:




Wet sanding:



Buffing:


finished with buffing and polishing:


Orange peel issue resolved:






Finished pics:

Re: 91 Acura NSX detail and orange peel correction.
I used meguiar's 2,000grit > M105/medium-cut wool pad > M205/white polishing pad on the bumper.
