Something magical about RED!

[Anthony O.]

I love red cars.......especially Ferrari and Porsche red:) So what comes my way the other day.....a RED single stage Honda S2000.

I only detail one other Honda and that is an NSX and let me tell ya this car was a wreck, inside and out. Very neglected paint and every nook and cranny in the interior had grime and years of pollen collecting in all those hide-a-way spots.

Here are a few BEFORE shots

First one is the marred hood

Now for some AFTERS

First up is the plastic window

After claying the paint I machine buffed it with an orange pad and Menzerna Powergloss.

Menzerna IP was next with a polishing pad

Menzerna FP with a finishing pad

AIO by hand

Menzerna FMJ to seal it

The results:

As always Mr. Orosco a fantastic job. That window looks new. What did you use on it?

This shot shows how reflective and wet the FMJ and the AIO combo can get dark colors

Hood shot

I tested an area of the car with a carnauba topper but the FMJ doesn`t like to be topped. The wax just seems to "float" on top and is tough to buff off.

This is a shot of the trunk lid

Thank you sir :)

I used Novus #2 and then rubbed the heck out of it with VM:cool

Here is the last pic

Awesome as usual. Glad you pointed out the situation with topping FMJ with a carnuba. I had a similar experience, but assumed it was because I was doing something wrong. Your comment hasn`t ruled that out, but at least I know there could be some compatibilty problems.
