First Post: TT widebody NSX! Walkthrough.

[Yzer]

This is my first post here. I have been reading this forum for quite sometime now. Here is a walkthrough on a friend of mines NSX. It is putting down around 450whp. I took pictures of the entire process because it will be going up on my website pretty quick.





Well this is what I detailed:

And here is the process I went through. I spent about 11 hours on it.







I started by washing the car with Dawn and a genuine sheepskin wash mitt to remove any previous wax:

I dried the car with a waffle weave micro fiber towel from Pakshak:

I then clayed the entire car incluing the windows and wheels:

After claying the car, I washed and dried it again





I made sure to dry all the areas of the car including the door jambs and so on:

I moved on to the polishing. I started with the greed edge pad with the PoorBoy`s SSR2.5:

After removing the SSR2 polish, I used the orange pad with the PB`s SSR1:

I also applied the wax to the wheels as well.







While removing the wax with a waffle weave towel, I also carried around a tooth brush to remove any wax buildups or polish from the cracks or seals:

The next step was to vacuum the interior:

Also the car sits a little lower now. He raised it up a little so he could put so break in miles on the motor rebuild.

The NSX looks awesome, but I`m more intrigued by the open-wheeled toy in the background. What`s the story on it, if you happen to know?



Curious,
