FMINUS Detailed: 2006 Honda S2000 White

What was supposed to be an "easy" detail turned out to be a nightmare. This was contaminated that I had to do the ABC Decon TWICE! And even after that it still had enough film to catch my pads and make my Metabo AND my Flex overheat and go into shut down. I had to bust out the Makita to finish the job.

What made it worse was that the paint was so thin I couldnt really use anything more abrasive than SIP and a little of M105 because I didnt want to cut through the clear.....

Excellent work FMINUS, you could tell the S2000 was polished to perfection as the overall end finish is crystal clear and very deep, never easy on a white car !

Re: FMINUS Detailed: 2006 Honda S2000 White
FMINUS, any idea what type of contamination you were running into? Also, is it possible that it was just Honda's "grabby" paint causing issues with the ceramiclear intended menz. products?

Nice job. White can really pop when done properly.
