polisher is hitachi rotary (very similar to makita that everybody uses)
2" backing plate and pads is special order from rubbishboys http://www.carnaubawaxshop.co.uk/
Oakes,
Do you use the same chemicals, pads and proceedures for black cars as well or do we need something different?
Thanks,
Jay

With Black NSX's I think the best is " THE BLACK BOX " it has Black dyes in the wax which fill any scratches. with black wax.
after the first time i ised it I was hooked. my black NSX looks like a show car.
"The Black Box" by turtle wax. I hate turtle wax brands but its really really a great product
heres a link to it

Well, I'd definitely love to come out there, being that I'm in PA the biggest issues would be finances/getting some of my stuff out there.
Most likely, the same process, or something different. All paint is different, while some generally can require the same processes/materials they may require more or less work time. It also relies greatly on the condition of the vehicle too, as that may require different polishes and pad combos should it be in worse or better condition. A lot of factors go in, however, generally speaking among same brand and model vehicles with original paint - you can usually use similar processes among them give or take some things.
For the occasional weekend detailer, this stuff works well. However, not a product that we specifically would use, simply due the cars lacking and scratches or needing fillers after we're done. We use very few products with silicone in them, and no fillers/glazes in our details. The finished product that we show, is the true results, nothing hidden.
Literally, a brilliant job!
Amazing job! Thanks for the post since I use similar product myself, this thread is a prefect guide line for me...
I will work on my NSX the first time next week... lets see how long it takes... took me 3 days on my other car which was like new condition already... I have spared my next whole week for NSX...

Oakes,
Great post and work looks like it should.. AWESOME.. It's good to see work performed like this.. It's hard to find true quality type detail work these days but it looks like we both capitalize from that:biggrin:..
Anyway, when your removing a clear bra. Once you have a corner up and can grab a couples inches worth of clear bra material pull straight up toward the sky, ceiling. This will take most if not all of the adhesive from the backside of the material with the material. If the clear bra gets pulled straight back toward your chest when your pulling, the adhesive from the backside will separate and hence the time consuming job of removing all of the adhesive because the adhesive stays on the paint after the material is pulled off. If this does happen the best and least intrusive way to remove the adhesive is to soak rags in adhesive remover and place the rags on the adhesive. Let it sit for awhile and start removing the adhesive with the rags and or a plastic window tint type squeegee.. This may take a couple times ( layers ) to do but if done this way it won't take more then an hour to remove all the adhesive.
Hope this helps!!! AGAIN GREAT WORK!!!

What did you charge? I'd like have a reference point for the local places here. Looks amazing. Glad to see there are still true detailers out there.
you did a hell of a job.... great work!
I finished the exterior detail on my NSX... Im happy with the result:wink:, but of course my job was no where as good as yours:tongue:...
but now the car is shiney and it shows that the paint isnt smooth and highlighted defects that couldnt be fix without repaint... so now im thinking to do a re spray in the future...
Thank you everyone for the kind words and advice, I appreciate it! I've done about a dozen more NSXs since this one and love the car dearly!
Glad to see the writeup helped you etang! Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been very busy over here!

AMAZING work.
Thank you sir!
That is amazing! I think i do a decent job detailing, but not even close to that. I would love to have someone give my car that kind of one over!
There a few very reputable paint correction specialists like myself throughout the US. I personally serve the Tri-State area (PA,MD,NJ) and also Raleigh, NC. Know plenty of guys to refer should you need it!
Wanted to give another plug for Nick since once again he did a great job on our cars. This time, he made a beautiful white 06 RL and more stunning!! A great Christmas gift from Carla. Thanks Nick!
Thank you Don! Glad you were happy with it! Glad Carla enjoyed her time here as well, the new waiting room has been great
My car will be there this spring
