Cum sa iti ingrijesti S2000'ul

[Achim Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Achim]

Believe it or not this was the first S2000 I have ever done, not a bad car.
I got this car from an S2KI.com member. Great guy always pushes for me on the board.

I guess I didn't really know what I was in for, the car just got back from the body shop and as we all know this car had over spray, rail dust, just about everything from sitting at the body shop for awhile. The interior was pretty dusty and unkept (I believe this was the body shop not the owner)

So here was the plan.. Wash, Clay, Menzerna PO203 with an Uber Orange/Green Pad (Makita/Metabo) and to finish Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue Pad.

The wax well I finally got to try out Swissvax Glacier (and I like it, I'm going to try it out on a silver car next)

The interior, well the usual, Leather Master Strong Cleaner followed by Leather Master Vital.
Dash and plastics cleaned and treated with Einszett ****pit.

Windows were cleaned with Lusso Glass Polish and an Uber Glass Towel.

As for the engine we used Adam's All Purpose (a nice inexpensive degreaser) and a Swissvax Wheel Brush. Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care for the rubber and Black Wow for the plastics.

Products Used:
Exterior:
Lusso Auto Bath in the Cam Spray Foam Canon
Swissvax Paint Rubber and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
The Uber Menzerna PO203S/PO85RD Kit

By the time I started on the car I wasn't able to get the rail dust on the car and good before shots but you get the picture with the shots above, the rest of the car was just as bad.

We started with the engine first:

as zice turbo
scaunul dupa mine e mind blowing si asta visez sa imi iau si eu intr-o zi
cat despre downside ... jantele care desi dau extrem de bine pe masina, sunt Prodrive (tuneri Subaru), dar nah ... omul e de pe IWSTI (forum de "subaristi" deci il intelegem )

Hey again everyone,

Had this beauty come in for a full paint detail this week. I never thought much of S2000 but after detailing her all I can say is that I want one. The car was dropped off with the assist of a white S2000 and a beauty she was.

Back to the cars condition. It was in bad shape. The previous owner definitely didn't look after her but the current one is by first bringing her to me .

I hope you enjoy the pictures and the commentary.

DURING



Alright so this is where is starts. Since this was my first S2000 I went on the side of caution and inquired about the paint and did some research. I found out with the help of Aaron (d00t) that the paint isn't that much fun as it's super soft. Thanks for the help Aaron. Ok so the clear is soft so the plan was to start with sonus blue with ultrafina. That did little cutting so I had to step it up to sonus white with ultrafina. That cut fairly well but it left micro marring and I used sonus blue with ultra to clear things up which it did at first. The next few shots are hood shots. One last thing to mention I noticed a gradual drop in PTG readings at the top of the hood compared to the bottom. The top had around 89-92 and by the bottom of the hood PTG readings were about 105 so I hit the top of the hood with the PC.

So moving onto the fender. I found that the combination of both white sonus and blue sonus with ultrafina was leaving marks so I had to resort to a LCC orange 4 inch and Menz PF followed up with blue sonus and ultrafina with porter cable to attack the fender. It turned out quite nicely but it just took a long time. The clear seems to have a life of it's own.
