I have an aluminum turbo shield that could use polishing. Now since its under the hood, it gets dirty or dusty. Before polishing it, should I spray a QD on it to get the dirt out then polish? When polishing aluminum, should i use a light or firm pressure?
 
If the shield has no coating of any kind, I would use Nevr-Dull which is one of the best products for polishing metal that I have found



I would use fairly firm pressure unless there is a chance of distorting the shield.
 
I have had the best success with Mothers mag and alluminum polish. The packaging sais that no firm pressure is needed but i find that it works better with some elbo greese. Heres a little trick. When you polish you will begin to notice black resudue comming off onto your towel. That usually is nickile. It works great as a metal polish so after you've rubbed the metal down with your brand of polish, wipe it clean and rub it down with the black towel, and then buff dry. Works great
 
If you guys remember the yellow on yellow 03' NSX, then you should see the owner "other" NSX. :D This is a very rare 2005 Long Beach Blue Pearl/Camel Interior. The car is in PERFECT condition, and I am sure most people would never think to have any amount of paint polishing done besides a simple wax. But at Presidential Detailing, we look past that! ;) The car did have some minor swirling, nothing to complain about but the owner wanted it PERFECT. I thoroughly enjoyed working on this car, the paint is just absolutely beautiful!

Only 11k on this one too!

When I arrived, the car was just a little dirty from a previous drive. The car has never been driven in the rain. I started with the wheels.

After dwelling in P21S and agitating.

There were a few bird droppings here and there, luckily the front of the car has a clearbra on it because they looked kinda dried up and would have definitely etched into the soft Honda paint.

There were also several twigs, leaves, etc wedged into the front mesh grill.

After the wash, it was time to prep by taping off any areas that may cause trouble.

The were some pretty obvious scratches near the key hole.

Somehow I only managed to get two after shots(it was raining outside so light was limited in the garage)

It was difficult to capture the defects, but they were there.

The next day, the weather was a little nicer so I could bring the car outside for some finished shots. :D

While I was there, I also washed his other NSX that corrected about 3-4 months ago. The blackfire was holding strong and there still wasnt a scratch or swirl on the car! I was impressed!

Very nice job.......

I never seen any blue ones around here. Mostly just red......



The NSX body style still looks fast just sitting in the driveway......
 
Looking great as always Billy, Looks like I know the area but can't think of the name......:wizard:

Thanks Angelo, this was actually in Orlando.

Very nice job.......

This car just looks good from any angle you lok at it!

Man, Billy that blue car is WAY cool!:clap: Never seen an NSX in that color. Most of 'em around Nashville are black.

GREAT job too!:Dancing Dot::thumbup:

Just for reference, this car is 1 of 3 built in this color combo for MY2005. ;)
 
Love that blue. NSX is one of the coolest cars, so rare. I am ordering my blackfire sealant next week, that stuff makes everything look amazing.

Nice work Billy! To me, it's an honor to be chosen for such rare vehicles. And I'm sure they're a joy to work on! :clap::Dancing Dot:

Billy - gorgeous blue! You made that NSX pop:notworthy::notworthy:

Such a beautiful car!

Nice work Bill! :thumbup:

Billy,

thanks for the compliments guys! And yes I always enjoy working on rare cars such as these, expecially when the owner keeps up with them and actually cares about preserving the finish!
