Turned 14

**Anthony O.** · 03-03-2005, 10:08 PM

This is, next to a red Porsche, the oldest car I have. I have been doing this car for 14 years, since day one!

It now is clicking close to 220,000k miles:shocked

It has had some paint work but it is at least 85% original. The owner is thinking about getting a new NSX but still going to keep this one.

I spruced it up a bit this afternoon and figured I would post some pics up, hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoy caring for it, the last 14 years

Below is a picture of the new Optimum tire dressing.

It is a sprayable version of their tire gel, which is applied by way of an air compressor and spray gun. This tire dressing has a slight "gel" consistency to it but is also very sprayable. It has enough "gel" to it that it clings to the tire as it is sprayed. I allowed it to dwell while I polished the car out then went over it with a tire sponge.

So far I have not seen any sling from this product and on smoother tires it produces a nice wet look, a bit more sheen look on tires with more detail. Longevity is pretty good also. Dressed out a car with it last week and even after all our rains the tires of that car looked pretty good today when I washed it. So much so that I did not need to re-apply it.

Thanks,

Anthony

Haha, that makes 2 things on this board my age.

But, NSX > Buick_Guy

Just kidding Steve.

Is the car completely stock? It looks so.

Anthony,

Do you mean 220,000 miles or 220,000 k (which would make it 220 million) miles ?

Great looking car :xyxthumbs Maybe after buying a new one the owner will give you this one

no wonder it looks so good!

btw, what did you use? it`s really nice on silver. :xyxthumbs

Mongoose -

Yeah it is completely stock, bumper to bumper.

kartoon -

No, not millions but rather thousands

Could you imagine 220 million miles? Talk about intergalactic commuting

hirosh -

Hey I just realized I forgot to post what I used on it. Thanks for reminding me:up

Tires got Optimum tire dressing, as already noted.

It was polished with my Cyclo and Optimum polish, white pads, although a few spots needed buffing with orange pads and Optimum.

It then got ....(should I mention it?)....ShoKar treatment:argue

I spilled some of the ShoKar, what little I have left, so I can maybe do another 2 cars then it will be all gone

Thanks for the comments,

Anthony

I`m sorry, you`re how old?

"What is 15, Alex?"

Anthony- the Shokar out there is beginning to turn into a precious item. Too bad it didn`t make it

Looks really good, Anthony. Those NSXs are absolutely beautiful! I`ve only done one the whole time I`ve been detailing...darn! I have a friend with one but he wants to make a trade (Alpine audio equipment) but he wants a years worth of details. I`ll pass on that!

Anyway, nice work, the paint looks amazing for its age! I`m pretty sure I know why.

Very nice Anthony.

I hate to see all those inspection stickers on the front windshield though...

**zippymbr** · 03-04-2005, 12:28 PM

My Dream Car! I still want one BAD! Beautiful work. how good is the paint on those?

**Accumulator** · 03-04-2005, 12:51 PM

Anthony- That has to be pretty cool, caring for a car that long. And it`s great that the NSX gets so much regular use. I especially impressed by how undamaged the wheels look; must`ve had a lot of those crimp-on wheels weights over the years.

Very nice -thanks for sharing!

My neighbor runs the local Acura service shop, and I`ve been lucky enough to ride in a few. They have tremendous handling, not to mention plenty of pep.
