Pretty hammered Honda S2000

Envious Eric · 07-26-2010, 05:56 PM

Got the email saying my car is not up to par, and needs some help...YES IT DID!!!

Results were night and day! Lots of left over wax/polish residue all over the car That I ended up spending an hour on in the end...it was really stubborn and caked on! I got most of it off, but really could have spent another hour+ removing emblems and deep cleaning them. Overall, it was time well spent.

here are the before shots and the test section to figure out a good process:

Process was 105 on orange, 203 on white, poli-seal on black. I had MAJOR issues getting the 203 off the paint. I have no idea what the problem was, but no matter how much QD or alcohol I used, it wouldn't remove easily without a lot of "scrubbing with a MF towel". I had to use a lot of CG EZCG just to remove the 203. After finally removing the 203 from the car, I tried using 85rd...same situation, so I stopped after two panels. I cant even begin to tell you how pissed off I was, or what the issue was for the life of me! anyone? all this with the PC! paint was super soft no doubt, but even on JB BMWs or black Porsche's, I've never had this problem.

Here are the afters from 10 hours of work!

What difference. That thing was hammered hard. As for the issues you had that is weird. Must be that the paint is really porous or something and it soaked in or something. Looks awesome though.

yeah it has to do with the stupid soft paint, softer than JB BMW. Apparantly a few other people have had the exact same issues with the exact same car/paint. all basically did what I did, or just dry polished it away. It added about 20 min to the detail is all, just annoying

I have no clue what I am doing with paintwork, I can do anything with instructions but paint is something I don't want to mess up. If you could point me in the right direction...LOL
