Presidential Detailed: 2001 Honda S2000

[Presidential_Detail]

Traveled to Orlando for this one, car was in a bit more rough shape than I expected..alot of deep swirls, scratches, GUM! The owner was lucky enough to have someone leave their wad of gum on the front fender/bumper of this thing..and without the proper chemicals the owner failed to get rid of it. I ended up spending a day-1/2 on this thing and I still was only able to get about a 90-95% correction rate with the deadline I was on.

Do you notice anything in this picture?


Upon closer inspection, it looks as if there was some residue from a sticker and someone inexperienced with a buffer did a little burning action.. ;(








Taped up..


One pass with Menzerna IP on White pad...wasnt cutting it! No pun intended!


After a couple passes with Menzerna IP on a PFW pad..
