93 Berlina Black NSX. Show Prep

posting only the details with major correction. too busy with work. unless yall want me to post 1step polishes, new car preps, wash/wax details (which are boring). coming up to the plate was now my 10th black car in a row. Vehicles history, owner had it for 5 years and kept it cleaned and garaged kept (only 22k miles). he hasnt driven it in about a year. before storing in the garage, he had it detailed by a "pro detail" shop :facepalm: I found lots of residue in cracks, jambs, etc. Mind you, this guy is very particular about all his cars. As the go to detailer in my area for the local car clubs, i had to treat his NSX as i do with all cars, like its mine and also to keep my reputation. He wanted it to be prepped for a show and i took on the job. my initial response was about a day and half for the detail since he said it was previously detailed and it hasnt been driving in 9 months so i said itll be an easy one. i was wrong. on to the detail.


PROCESS:

ENGINE
P21s TAW
303 Protectant


WHEELS/WELLS
P21s Gel
Megs GC


EXTERIOR
CWC/Foam Gun, Rinse
CWC, Megs GC 2BM, Rinse


CLAY
Megs White
ONR Lube
IPA Wipedown
Rinse, WW MF Towel


CORRECTION with PC 6" & 4" pads
PG/Orange for Spot Treatment
IP/Orange
106FA/White
PO85RD/Blue


SEALANT
JetSeal109/Blue


LSP
its black so of course its getting Purple Haze


INTERIOR
Leatherique Twins
303 Fabric Guard
Wet/Dry Vac

FINALS
Stoners IG/Aquapel
No Wheel Sealant per request
OPT Wheel Gel
OPT QID




Day1. Thursday Evening (Engine, Interior Dust/Wipedown)



For Show or Not, attention to detail is key




Day2. Morning
Wheels. Being very careful not to wash over spoke sticker and stickers in barrel. i washed around it



Ready for wash


CWG dwelling and dont forget behind the plates



Started with all fresh new supplies. After claying found no contamination







50/50. rear portion of the passenger door after IP & 106FA


brought it outside to check it (right side)


since i had it outside, i took a few shots of the rest of the car.



YIKES!



brought it back inside now that i found my combo. started on the passenger side and forgot to take a before picture. this is the drivers side pillar


passenger side after 106FA


FRESH Pad




If this aint 100% corrected, its sure da mn close!



lets ask the sungod. (those arent trails, just weird reflections)






Fingernail deep RIDs that i couldnt get out. now if it this was on the paint yeah, i could fix it but i wasnt going to grit it just for that. but trust me, the rest of the taillight strip is perfect


precaution i take when someone has the wheels i want. i just cover it so i wont be tempted to steal it.
JK> less risk of scratching the Volks.





I did one pass of PO85 wit bring out that gloss even more.

Owner came by to check on the progress. he left with a smile on his face (=

black FTW


After ONR Wash and IPA wipedown, checking for washed induced swirls.

Great work! I really do like the older models with the flip headlight. Way better than the newer models!

Awesome job on that NSX, did your friend end up winning any awards other than "Cleanest Car at Show"?

Re: 93 Berlina Black NSX. Show Prep

not only a great job on the paint (i just used 106 + 85 on a black porsche myself: will be posted soon), but i really like the attention to details on everything else. A car is only as clean as its dirtiest part: and this baby really looks great!

Re: 93 Berlina Black NSX. Show Prep

Car looks great man!

One thing that bugs me about doing a correction like that is that most people don't even notice that its THAT free of swirls and is so reflective..oh well..
