A full paint corrective detail, done by myself, of this Pearl Yellow S2000. Out of the 400+ pics I tried to find a good bit that really showed the full effect of the detail. However the weather and time weren't typically on my side, worked on this car at night mostly after my day time details as I had it available for almost 2 weeks time! Try and keep this as descriptive and organized as possible!



*Note: the Front bumper and Driver's side fender are a different shade of yellow due to a poor repaint by a body shop. Owner is having this corrected and the car brought back to me*



Process:

Full wash - Clay Bar

Menzerna Intensive Polish - PC, orange pad - 4 hours

Menzerna Final Polish II- PC, green pad pad - 2 hours

Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze - PC, white pad

Optimum Opti-Seal - hand applied - cured overnight

Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax - hand applied - cured for 3 hours.

Rewashed

Spray waxed



BEFORE PICTURES: Note swirling!

nice job what did you use to clean up the tar splatter on the side?



Luckily that tar was fresh from the drive to me, Pressure washer and foaming helped reduce it so a slight smudging and then some spot APC treatment took car of it!
