Been discussed lots of times before ... do a search or follow this link ...

http://www.s2000online.com/forums/search.p...daily=&pagenum=

It's my OPINION that all the S2000s are clear-coated ... there's been some debate about the red ... but I think this thread http://honda-acura.net/forum/Forum21/HTML/005055.html explains the issue ...

Have fun,
Derek

What the heck kind of wax you gonna buy that ISN'T clear coat safe?! The 1.50 special at your local garage?

Stick with Zymol/Mothers/Zano(never used it).

ankuse, I have a silver S too. It does have a clear coat. If you are ordering Zaino, Get the Z1, Z2, Z6 ans Z7. That is what I ordered.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Helm S2000 Body Repair Manual (Ref: Body Paint Section 5-2)indicates that the stock stook is finished with a 3C-3B process...that is three coats and three bakes:

1st = Zinc Phosphate + Electrodeposition (undercoat)
2nd = Chipping Primer + Intermediate Coat
3rd = Solid Color Enamel + Clearcoat (or)
Metallic Enamel + Clearcoat (or)
Pearl Enamel + Clearcoat

So yes there is a clearcoat........
