are you willing to come out by westmont? I have a guy that can probably do it as a side job this weekend but I dont want to promise you. I would have to see if he is around but he is the head detailer for the Acura/Lexus/BMW dealer's in Westmont. He has always done great work for me

Email this guy, david.alfonso@comcast.net. His name is David. He detailed my old mr2 turbo a couple of times and he did my sc300 once. He does great work and he travels also!

Ha...thanks Matt. I was going to reply but I'm going to be pretty busy this weekend unless you can do something next week sometime....

I trained at a detail shop in Oakbrook then detailed at Continental Acura dealership in hs. I've done many of the guys cars on here. I know all the products out there so if I don't end up doing the job, I can reccomend what products should be used. PM me if you need help.

Steve

I am a huge Zymol fan and really loved Zymol Carbon. This wax works the best for black.

We used to prep all the NSX's in Zymol Downfall is that it's hard to work with, doesn't last long, and hazes up after a couple hours Awesome product though as far as results if you have the patience (I have it in my collection of detailing products)...I'm a big fan of Adams, Klasse, and Zaino....

Yes,

Zymol Carbon is difficult to use. It does cloud up and they even recommend using some sprayed water to aid in removal. Zaino and Klasse make great products as well.
