Full Detail on my S2000
It's been quite some time since I have given my S2000 some love. I've done two autocross events and a drag race event so it's time to clean him up. Unfortunately, I could not get any pictures with sunlight due to this rainy weather we have had all week.

Very nice. Did you use the paint correction compound from Adams' new two step process? I'm a huge Adam's fan; basically the only stuff I use, but am wondering how their new two step process is.
What kind of DA did you use; porter cable?

I use a Griot's 6" with Uber 5.5" pads and vented backing plate. I didn't use the two-step process this time. I have done a pretty in-depth correction on this car a few months back so there weren't really any imperfections. However I opted to use the Adam's on my car since I just purchased it from Detailer's Domain and figured my car should be the guinea pig and not a customers. Overall it worked very well. Thanks for the complements!

Nice job. I've been lazy about finishing my polishing with the Griots. Mostly b/c it's been too hot in socal to be in a garage all day. 
Our cars need to be pampered once in a while.
