MY NSX- Detailed *PICS*
Picked up my nsx a few months ago, and it needed a good detail. The color is impressive, but under certain lighting.. you could see swirls all over!
Went to www.cleanedgedetailing.com to get this done. They are located in the Chicagoland burbs (Near Naperville, IL).
--------
"So as many know I had the pleasure of detailing G's NXS. I've had it for 6 days and had a blast detailing it. From a distance the car didn't look bad at all but once you got direct sunlight on it, it was really swirled up and was in desperate need of a good claying too as it felt like sandpaper in some areas.
So I started polishing the car with Monzerna Super Intensive Polish on an orange LC pad right after I clayed the whole car a couple times over. After the initial polishing, I polished it again with Menzerna 106FF on a white LC pad to bring the paint up to a high gloss. After that the car was washed again and I then applied a coat of Danese Wet Glaze and then a coat of Ultima Paint Guard Plus sealant.
I let that cure over night and then did another coat of DWG and another coat of UPGP and let it cure overnight again. The next day I wiped the car down with Zaino Z-8. On the tires I used Zaino Z-16 and Eagle One Nano Protectant on the interior. When all was done, the car felt smoother than glass and I saw no swirls when back in the sun.
All in all the polishing took me about 4 days (I took my time as he didn't need the car right back), but I figured I spent a minimum of 15 hours on it. So, here are some of the after shots.
Just Polished, NO WAX or SEAL YET!
Here's the hood before again.

I've always been an advocate of waxing and detailing cars but not to this extent. Your comparisons between the before and after pix makes it all worthwhile.
