questions or comments feel free!!!
 
You missed some micro grease/dust around the DOHC VTEC lettering. jk :)



Awesome detail,one of the wettest silver I've seen on here, all these great looking s2000s makes me want one, too bad you have to be a midget to fit in them :cry:
 
Big thumbs up on this one - very well done! The finish is stunning.



Side note - I had no idea the engine was tilted on that car. Not that the underhood detail wasn't great, but I dig just staring at the valve cover. :)

I drive an S2000 and I'm 6'0" tall. I do put the seat all the way back, but I still have a couple inches of head room to spare. The only car I've ever not fit in was the Mazda RX8. My head was against the roof!



Great detail BTW!! The paint looks extremely wet. I think when I run out of Zymol I might go back to Soveran. I gave up Soveran for Zymol, but I'm wondering if they may have changed the formula since then. Also, check out my avatar for another REALLY clean S2000 engine.
 
thanks guys...silver is a hard color but this isnt your typical silver, its called silverstone metallic and its darker than a regular silver
 
Wish i could get my sliver that wet

x2 All my silver details come out blah... Don't get me wrong, the customers have had no complaints, but for my sake, I can't stand detailing silver cars.

Yes, superb - nice job! I really love the second pic :bigups . I'm not much of a fan of either silver OR Hondas, but I love that shade of silver, and the S2000 is the only Honda I'd really consider buying (after my son was born, I had to give that plan up :bawling: ), though my JDM '91 CRX SiR was the only other Honda I really fell for!

Absolutely amazing. Hope you don't mind me trying out the same process on my wifes silver Grand Prix (witch I thought was wet until now).
