    I got called in to give this NSX a once over after completing the owner's BRZ about 2 months ago. The car only has 56,xxx miles on it since 91, so it was in pristine condition, mechanically speaking. Unfortunately the paint looked like it has never been through a decent detail.

    We decides on a 2 step process to do a bit more than "cleaning it up" as the owner was thinking about selling the car. There are numerous spots on the car where it looked like bird dropping had sat a bit too long, the entire front end was also heavily pitted, and about half of the car was repainted one time or the other.

    Materials used:

    2 bucket method
    Karcher 5.85M with AutoGlos cannon
    Microfiber Chenille mitt
    WW towels from Richard Lin
    AG CWC for wheels and tires
    Megs APC+ for wheel well and exhaust
    SV Wheel brush
    Daytona speedmaster
    Megs hyper wash
    Rupes 21ES from Kevin Brown
    Various MF towels
    Various B&S pads
    Scholl Concepts S3 gold as compounding step
    HD advance polish to finish out the compounding haze
    303 aerospace protectant as tire shine
    Opti Coat as protection

    I won't bore you with wheel cleaning or during washing pictures, I'm sure everyone sees plenty of those everyday..... so here are pictures of the defects
