First Detail - Laguna Blue S2000

Well I didn't take as much time as I wanted - the car had lots of swirls and some rock chips here and there.

Wash: CG Honeydew Foam, then add Optimum no rinse



Fingernail torture - was too lazy to grab heatgun from storage:



Clay: Cheapo Meguiars Blue with ONR and water



Polish: Menzerna Power Finish and Power Gloss on Orange and Green pads with a Porter Cable DA Orbital.





LSP: Collinite 845 layered 1hr




Decent enough results:











Then the drive to the usual location:






Wishful thinking: skipped the alcohol wipedown, thought it was good enough... nope, DONT SKIP THIS STEP. I waxed on top and I can still see leftover residue. Only had 3ish hours to polish and wax, definitely need more time to perfect the paint.

Must be nice to have to detail a smaller car. Less surface area to cover!

I was really worried with time, as I started at 9pm...

But then I realized how small the car is compared to my small accord and kept going.

I finished at 330am, but I'd say a good 40 minutes total was spent looking at the car, being in love with it.

Use the tonneau cover if you plan on going top down a lot. The underside is unprotected and will fade after a couple of seasons. I would apply raggtop uv protection on the underside as well.

Don't forget to check to see if your soft top has been padded in the rear. The rear frame is known to rub and wear down the top, which wI'll lead to a rip
