Pristine Auto: Milano Red RSX-S
Had the joy of doing this car over two days and logged about 12-14 hours on it. The finish had quite a bit of swirling, micromarring, fading, etc. It took quite a bit of polishing to get everything back to how it should be. Ive been looking forward to this car for awhile and it did not disappoint at the end. The turnaround was remarkable and the owner was thrilled. This was a complete exterior rejuvenation.

Products Used:

Makita 9227C
Porter Cable 7424
Menzerna 106FF/SIP
Lusso Oro
Meg's NXT
303 Aerospace Cleaner
Chemical Guys Clay Bar
Stoner's Invisible Glass
Lake Country yellow, orange, white, black, blue pads
Detailer's Domain MF towels

Pics:
First, notice the awful swirling to begin with.





The spoiler was VERY faded and looked to be Milano Pink instead of Red. It cleaned up real well as you'll see in the 50/50






Final Shots:













And one by my car as the owner was pulling out.


Thanks for looking!

-Matt

Great work Matt! I used to have the exact same car/color (minus the wing). They look superb when polished up.

Youre right. That's my MY2000 AP1 with 06-07 wheels, AP2 tails, lowered, etc etc. Thanks for the comments folks.
