2006 LB S2000 (AP2) 1 step and 2 Step

**psynx** · 08-21-2013, 02:10 AM

I was contacted by a fellow member from a s2000 forum that im active in, to do a potential 1 step on the exterior paint, i quoted him blindly without looking at the car. After meeting him and looking at the car a little closer the car definitely required a 2 step. But after taking a couple measurements of the paint some areas wasnt healthy enough to compound the low Clear coat areas.
Equipment used
Rupes 21 w 5 BP and washer mod B n S 5.5 White Pad
Flex 3401 with LC BP system and LC Hybrid pads
FG400
Sonax PF
Megs D300 MF Cutting Disc
Dodo Juice Orange Crush
Dodo Juice Tropical Red Mist
CarPro Tar X
CarPro Iron X
Car Pro Eraser

Here are some pix of the car in the condition it arrived.

The owner was ver pleased and so was I seeing his reaction and the sincerity in his voice made this 10 hour correction job all worth it. While i was waiting for him to pick it up I worked on the interior a bit and dressed up his engine, threw it in since i was bored and had extra time lol
enjoy and thanx for watching :tipwink:

Dodo reflection off the hood is the money shot, great work.

What kind of tape are you using?

**TroyScherer** · 08-21-2013, 08:47 AM

Very nice work.

It is between that blue and white for my favorite colors of AP2. What I really want it is the Apex Blue S2K CR.
