Nice job!

I always find NSX's to be exceptionally fun to detail.

The red paint in the full car shot looks deep enough to do a high dive into!

I agree with aj that you used a really good combination, one I have used on numerous occassions my ownself.

Nice work. Lack of orange peel looks great too, only wish that hadn't changed on Acuras lately.

cornershop,

S W E E T detailing my friend ! ! !

Both of those cars actually look like they are made of red and black colored water! Very liquid looking.

Did you use a PC, rotary, or was this all done by hand?

Again, great job on that ultra liquid look and great reflections!

Cheers,

cornershop,

What kind of pad/applicator did you use for each step of the polishing? (Foam, cotton towel, MF applicator, etc.)

Cheers,
