FMINUS Detailed: 2006 Honda S2000 White

What was supposed to be an "easy" detail turned out to be a nightmare. This was contaminated that I had to do the ABC Decon TWICE! And even after that it still had enough film to catch my pads and make my Metabo AND my Flex overheat and go into shut down. I had to bust out the Makita to finish the job.

What made it worse was that the paint was so thin I couldnt really use anything more abrasive than SIP and a little of M105 because I didnt want to cut through the clear.....

FMINUS, great job! Did you ask the owner how he lost so much of his clear? It's only a 2006!

I've only had the car for a few months, I think the original owner was clueless. I'm very happy with the results, considering the state it was in.

Come see the car get dirty next weekend @ Buttonwillow to kick off the 09 S2000 Challenge.

Thanx again for all your help FMINUS
