Honda S2000 Black...

Been extremely busy lately and haven't had the time to document any click n brags. Figured I'd share this quicky!

As many of you know, the Black paint on the Honda S2000 is very verrry soft. So when this customer strolled into the shop with this '06 S2000, I feared the worst. I figured the car was going to need at least a 3-Step polish to perfect things and finish down correctly....but then the customer threw a wrench into the plan. He was going to the gym and requested the car to be completed in a matter of 3-4 hours. I told him that would cut down considerably on the amount of correction I could provide but he wasn't too concerned.

Process:
Foam paint
Wash
Rinse
Clay
Rinse
Polish w/ Menzerna 106fa on Black Foam via Flex
Pinnacle Souveran
Exhaust Tips received M105

Interior received a quick vacuum. Interior trims/plastics were cleaned and protected. The leather needed some serious help as it was getting dried out, but the customer wasn't concerned. I'll have to attack it with the Leatherique once he comes back in.

Befores:






Didn't have much time to take durings, but I did snap this quick Half/Half:


Afters, not too bad for a 1-Step polish:
























And the beautiful NJ weather while I was leaving the shop, thought it was a pretty cool picture:


Thanks for looking!!

Re: Honda S2000 Black...

As an owner of Honda/Acura black, I know exactly what you're talking about. I too find that a quick polish with 106 is capable of nice correction on it while finishing down well.

I'm amazed at what 106 did...looks sooo much better.

Great Job!

What did the tires receive?

Re: Honda S2000 Black...

I was very pleased with how well 106 corrected and finished down as well, I'd assume SIP followed by 106 would provide damn near 100% correction on paint this soft.

As for the tires, they got Megs NXT tire shine (Decent OTC stuff).

Thanks for the comments guys!
