04' Red Honda S2000
After many hours of forum reading, chatting to the pros, and spending LOTS of money, here is some pics of my first detail done on my S2k... The process i followed was:
* Nice good wash incl. engine bay, behind badges, in door jams, etc
* Clayed the car
* Polished with Menz PO 85
* Then a 2nd polish with Menz final finish
* Glazed with poorboys Black hole
* Waxed with Natty's paste blue wax
* Waxed rims with Rimwax
* Treated soft top with Raggtop
* Interior with adams leather and int. cleaner as well as leather conditioner
Please excuse the amatuer pics, i was figuring it out as i went along.
Some before pics:
the swirls weren't too bad but definately needed some TLC.
Some 'during' pics:
here is a 50 50 after the 2 polishing stages:
Then some more pics after the 2 polishes:
Took my rims off to give them a good wash and wax as night approached:
I did the wheel wells with some apc - happy with the result but they are very worn:
Prepped the car for raggtop- That stuff worked brilliantly! I actually did the whole inside of the top as well which made a massive difference.
Took the tail pipe ends off to give them a good polish:
After the end of day 3, i finally got to take some final pics of my project
Engine bay done with Cyclo APC - really came out well!!
Rims came out very nice!! Used the turtle wax on the tyres:
Only took 1 shot of the inside as i have noticed not many people are too interested in the inside lol. It came out reallt nice though,was very happy with the result!
Took some pics inside my garage...
The sun then came out after a few days so i had to take the opportunity...wow, it is SHINING!!!
Thanks for looking guys, any comments would be appreciated.

Did you paint your rims? They look different to me and i love them. Has a darker finish on the inside and on the inner spokes, i want to do something like that. How much did it cost you?
Great detail too! Complete turnaround from the before pics, excellent job.
