Presidential Detailed: 2001 Honda S2000 TURBO!
This is the former S&R Racing car here in Tampa, Rob(Primogen- our best ex-CO) picked the car up about a month or two ago and gave me a call to get it cleaned up for a show coming up. I must say, Ive seen the car before and was a little nervous with all the fiberglass molding and unsure condition of the paint. The entire front end is all aftermarket and I wasnt sure how the paint was going to hold up either, since it had cracked in a couple spots due to the flexing of the kit. Basically I told Rob, that I could make the car look a whole lot better, but was a little nervous to go for a full correction and he agreed. I ended up going at it with SIP/Orange and got very good results, actually night and day but the deeper swirling and some deeper scratched remained. Well on to the pics..

ooooohhh can't wait for more, including product list. awesome job inside the wheel wells. truly night and day. while i know its a drag to not try to get the paint perfect- thats, IMHO, just one part of a good detail job. when someone does the nooks and crannies right - you know they were a serious detailer

Now finally finished..
