Tropically Detailed:'94 SL500 and '03 Blue NSX

Once again, I was treated to another amazing client. You know its going to be a good day when both cars are washed (properly), there is a portable A/C unit hooked into the garage, and you are constantely offered pizza and ice cream

The NSX was in great shape and needed very little. I wiped it down with Z6, put two coats of Z2pro on it, followed by CS then Z8. The tires recieved Meg's Hotshine, and rims, glass, and trim recieved Zaino AIO followed by Z2pro.

The SL500 is the last year of the orginal style, and IMO is a classic. The lines still look great today. Overall this car was cherry, though the paint was a little messed up. The paint had horrible hologramming/swirls, but still had a lot of gloss. Menzerna SIP on a Lake Country Orange CCS pad, spun at 1800 rpm by my Hitachi removed 90 percent of the defects on 1 pass. I jeweled the surface with Zaino Z-PC Fusion on a LC White Pad @ 1000 RPM, which improved the clarity and removed the rest of the defects.

The tires where dressed with Zaino Z16, IG cleaned the glass, and Zaino AIO was applied to the lower sections, rims, trim, and glass. The SL500 recieved 3 coats of Z2pro (ZFX'ed).Afterwords, both cars where sealed with Zaino CS and wiped down with Z8 Grand Finale.

Lets start with NSX pictures...





















On to the SL500.

In the sun you could see a lot of the hologramming/swirling...









Here is a 50/50. The right side is untouched, the left side is after one pass on the rotary.

I brought the vette used for 4000 bucks and spend about 2 yrs and 9000 bucks to customize it. Won 4 trophys and girls would line up to take pic's back then (80-84), I think she find out the other things i was doing with that purple girl eater.
