1991 NSX with 85K on the clock.
I detailed this car over the summer after 15 years of neglect. This time it was much easier (7 hours vs. an entire day the first time around). The owner put on 5K or so over the summer and it was time to freshen up this beast. Over the winter he’s installing a chip, performance exhaust, and putting on some new rubber. He wants to keep up with the new Vette’s.
Process Used…..
Wash: Pretreated with Optimum QEW, and washed with Optimum Car Wash
The rims & wells and jams were cleaned with Optimum APC, and dressed with BnB. All outside trim was treated with TR. The jam seals got Poorboys leather cleaner and conditioner. The exhaust got SSR2.5 on the pipes, and TR on the housing. The jams were protected with OCW and #425.
The paint was polished with the Metabo and Optimum Polish 1400 RPM with an orange pad on a few areas, and a polishing pad on the rest.
I glazed/sealed with Finish Kare #FX-185, and primed the pad with FX-100 spray (lightly misted) using a polishing pad @ 1700 RPM. I topped it with Poorboys QD+ (now called QW+) on a finishing pad @ 700 RPM. I mixed about an ounce of S&G with 10oz of QW+ (only used 1 oz for the entire car). IMO is added some pop to the paint vs. using QW+ unmixed.
The interior was done with Kids N Pets on the carpets, APC 6:1 on everything else, and Vinegar/Water on the glass. I dressed with TR and #40. The seats were treated with Poorboys Leather cleaner and conditioner.
Here are a few after shots.
