Honda S2000 Detail Featuring Wolfgang Fuzion & Meguiars

A few weeks ago I was approached by a local Honda enthusiast to detail his 2003 "Sazuka Blue Metallic" Honda S2000.

I've been an avid Honda enthusiast since the first time I felt the crisp action of a Japanese-sourced manual transmission, so without hesitating I enthusiastically said YES. Sunday, June 30th couldn't have come soon enough.

Overall the car was in great shape. Nothing about the car made it obvious that it was 10 years old; this was a real gem and the thought of running a polisher over its muscular, refined body lines kept me awake the night before the detail.

Process:

Wash:

• Grit Guard Two Bucket Wash System
• Pinnacle Bodywork Shampoo
• Detailer's Road Kill Bug Remover
• Supreme Micro-Chenille Wash Mitt
• Ultimate Guzzler
• 1Z Einszett ColourTec Wheel Cleaner
• Marine 31 Port to Starboard All Purpose Cleaner
• Daytona Speed Master Jr. Wheel Brush
• Wheel Woolies Boar's Hair Wheel Brush
• Marine 31 Stainless Steel & Aluminum Brightening Soap
• Short Handle Tire/Wheel Brush

Polish

• Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay
• Meguiars M205 Ultra Finishing Polish
• Flex XC3401
• Flex Changeable Backing Plate System
• Lake Country Hybrid Power Finish Pads (White)
• Griots Garage 3 Inch Orbital Polisher
• Lake Country Hydro-Tech 3 x 1.25 Inch Foam Pads (Tangerine)

Protect

• Wolfgang Fuzion
• Detailer's Wheel Glaze
• Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Dressing
• Marine 31 Vinyl Protectant with SunBlock (convertible top)
• Detailer's Trim Detailer
• Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towels
• Griots Garage 3 Inch Orbital Polisher
• Rupes 100 mm (4 Inch) Foam Pads (White)

Having once been the proud owner of a Honda myself (it was an Accord but during up shifts I would pretend that it was an S2000), I knew that Meguiars M205 Ultra Finishing Polish would be a perfect match for the light swirl marks, towel marks and other minor blemishes found on this particular S2000. Meguiar's M205 paired with a white Lake Country Hybrid Power Finish Pad on the lean, mean, paint-correcting Flex XC3401 turned out to be a perfect match.


Wolfgang Fuzion - Accept No Compromise



Two reasons Wolfgang Fuzion was the obvious choice for this particular detail. First, the customer requested the absolute best shine possible without a compromise in durability; he wanted a show-car wax that would last months, not weeks. Second, I'm lazy and Wolfgang Fuzion is incredibly easy to work with. Even if the customer didn't make the first request, I would still have went with Wolfgang Fuzion because it allowed me to sleep soundly that night knowing that I gave my customer the best and I didn't even have to work hard for it. To say this wax is a pleasure to apply and remove is an understatement. Buy it, enjoy it, and accept no compromise.
