This AP1 was in ROUGH shape. Some of the panels required 5 polishing stages to get the perfect finish. We also removed the S2000 emblems and Pacific Honda sticker on the back and polished the paint behind them to the perfect finish.

2001 Stock AP1:

Arrival:





















Inspection: Heavy correction needed.

Do do a BB start to finish, full paint correction, at the very minimum you would need:

Makita 9227 Rotary Polisher (cutting)
Porter Cable or Griots Garage or equivalent Dual Action Polisher (finishing)
Menzerna SIP polish (cutting)
Menzerna 106FA polish (finishing)
CCS Yellow/Orange Pads (cutting)
Black/Blue Pads (finishing)
A lot of microfibre towels
A Claybar, and car wash supplies
A finishing wax (we used P21S)

All of that would add up to about $600-$800 landed to your door.
