Presidential Detailed: 2001 Honda S2000-Not 56k FRIENDLY!!

[PresdntialDtail]

This car was also part of the 4 car job I had in Palm Bay, FL. This one was not near as bad as the red S2K I just posted recently, however it still needed a lot of attention! This car also just returned from a day of Auto-x'ing and was very dirty to begin with. It also had some very bad hard water spotting on the front of the car and seemed to have a sort of "film" of hard water on the car creating a very white-faded looking residue.

BEFORE:

The wheels are practically brand new, but very dusty from a dirt road making them look old and used.


This fender liner is also practically brand new..






The engine was also degreased and dressed.

This was after washing and drying properly(the spots are not from me.)

You might not have noticed the exhaust tips, but they need some work real bad!


So I took them off completely to give them a good cleaning/polish.




I used Adams Metal Polish #1&2 to get them shining again.

In the halogen and fluorescent lighting..
