Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

I spent alot of time on this one, didnt plan on it though! haha! My friend James hit me up for a detail to get rid of the swirling and such that car had gotten over the years. This thing is in IMMACULATE shape for a car that is 13 years OLD!!! I had a little trouble with the holograms, because for some reason I didnt think to use my PO85r/blue pad for final step. I was trying to finish on Honda paint with 106ff/white and it just wasnt happening. Well I finally came on here to ask for support and got exactly just that! The car now looks fantastic and is swirl and hologram free!!! ok, ok on to the pics!

Exterior:
Optimum Car Wash
DD "Uber" Red Drying Towel
DD "Uber" Wool Mitt
Dual Buckets with Grit Guards
3m "green" Masking Tape

Adam's Invisible Undercarriage Spray
Menzerna IP/LC PFW Pad
Menzerna 106FF/ LC CCS White Pad
Menzera PO85RD/ LC CCS Blue Pad
Menzerna Top Inspection
Tons of Uber MF Towels
Adams Window Cleaner
Black WOW
1z Einszett Gummi Fledge
P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel
Swissvax Pneu

Re: Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

Thanks! Here are some "pro" shots the owner took after we finished.

The watermarked pictures were taken by the owner with a Nikon D80.

Re: Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

There will always be a warm spot in my heart for details like this that truly dot every I and cross every T. Very good work. The car looks great.

I've read before that NSX paint is stupid soft and a real PITA to work with. Awesome car though.

Re: Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

Looks great man! You have to post that up on EvoM! Probably the only car that can stick with almost the same design for over 10 years and still look good!

I think I did post it on EvoM, the mods deleted all my threads! The GTI I posted was a test to see if I would be banned for posting another car! haha!

Re: Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

A true classic. I still turn my head every time I see an NSX. Great job!!

Question: Why are the plates different in the last two "pro" shots?

Re: Presidential Detailed: 1995 Acura NSX

Nice work! Hate those black wheels...what are those "sock" things on the master cylinder and ABS?
