I'm baaaaccck :)
ok i know it's not an s but i am working my way back
some of you may know that i sold my S last year to buy a house and i drove a POS ford for the last 8 months.. i hated the thing and i could never get excited about detailing it like my S and other cars - anyway i picked up this 'Lude from a good friend this past week and MikeyC helped me yesterday
we clayed it, DACP, Klasse AIO and then topped it with something MikeyC had (like s100)
here are some before and after shots
before pas side
after pass side
before nose
after nose
before rear
after rear (still needs work as i plan to remove the emblems / vtec sticker
money shot
it's good to have a car i'll enjoy working on again

wow, great job... espcially like the headlight improvement!!
Steve, I think once you get some 4" pads you should go over the headlights one or two more times with some Menzerna Intensive Polish. Then follow up with one or two treatments of Menzerna Finishing Polish II or the Megs DACP. I think we could have gotten them even better. Also, the car looks great now that you have the summer wheels on.

Looks great
but one question what did you use on the licence plates to get them to change like that ??!
looks very nice, rear tail lights look impressive too.
Wheels lift it as well for that all round job.
How long did it take you guys to do it?
