My customer bought a leftover S2000 in BB with no miles (amazing deal). However the paint was another issue. Here is where we came in. We put about 14 hours into the paint over 2 days and below are the results. Other than the paint the car was mint!

My god Phil what a save! That S2000 was bashed to hell and back hope the owner will keep it up this time around.
every s2k i have done has had horribly soft paint. super easy to cause wipe marring if the owner is not careful.
Wow, nice job with it. I have a buddy with a s2k with about 32k miles on it and the paint is no where nearly that bad. Quick question, when you say, "pre washed with w99" what do you mean? Do you dilute it with water then wash the car with that? Or do you mix it in with car soap? Once again, the car looks great
