Detailer's Domain: S2000/Swissvax Glacier
Believe it or not this was the first S2000 I have ever done, not a bad car.
I got this car from an S2KI.com member. Great guy always pushes for me on the board. I guess I didn't really know what I was in for, the car just got back from the body shop and as we all know this car had over spray, rail dust, just about everything from sitting at the body shop for awhile. The interior was pretty dusty and unkept (I believe this was the body shop not the owner) So here was the plan.. Wash, Clay, Menzerna PO203 with an Uber Orange/Green Pad (Makita/Metabo) and to finish Menzerna PO85RD with an Uber Blue Pad. The wax well I finally got to try out Swissvax Glacier (and I like it, I'm going to try it out on a silver car next) The interior, well the usual, Leather Master Strong Cleaner followed by Leather Master Vital. Dash and plastics cleaned and treated with Einszett ****pit. Windows were cleaned with Lusso Glass Polish and an Uber Glass Towel. As for the engine we used Adam's All Purpose (a nice inexpensive degreaser) and a Swissvax Wheel Brush. Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care for the rubber and Black Wow for the plastics. Products Used: Exterior: Lusso Auto Bath in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Swissvax Paint Rubber and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube The Uber Menzerna PO203S/PO85RD Kit Menzerna Top Inspection Swissvax Glacier Wheels and Tires Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit Replaced Swissvax Pneu on this one for Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care Interior and Glass Lusso Glass Polish Leather Master Strong Cleaner Leather Master Vital Einszett ****pit Einszett Plastic/Vinyl Cleaner Engine: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner Black Wow (on covers and plastics) Einszett Vinyl and Rubber Care (rubber etc) Tools: Infratech 5300 Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Here are the pictures and more descriptions: Before: Door jambs are extremely dirty http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...beforejamb.jpg Trunk jambs filthy http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...jambbefore.jpg Dirty Cowl http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f1...eaningcowl.jpg By the time I started on the car I wasn't able to get the rail dust on the car and good before shots but you get the picture with the shots above, the rest of the car was just as bad.
