Detailer's Domain: S2000 CR Paint Correction
The Honda S2000 CR is quite a vehicle. My customer found a brand spanking new one on a lot as these were brought out for 1 year, 2008. It needed some work getting all the swirls out. This car turned out great!
Take a look at the specs from Honda USA: Premier Performance Nothing exemplifies Honda racing skill and ingenuity like the S2000 CR “Club Racer.” A firmer suspension, quicker steering ratio and fully functional front and rear spoilers have been specially designed to connect driver, vehicle and road. Compete The CR is a true competitor. Feel free to maximize its potential at club racing events. Performance A purist’s dream, the factory-tuned CR sports an aerodynamic design and stiffer suspension settings for increased rigidity and downforce. The CR proudly draws upon the S2000’s racing heritage, but delivers more in terms of sheer performance. Lighter With racecar-like suspension and lower weight, the CR’s performance is second to none. Drivers rave about its cornering, braking and acceleration. To accomplish this, the audio system and air conditioning are offered as options and the spare tire has been replaced with a tire-repair kit. This, along with other modifications, lightens the racy roadster by nearly 100 pounds from the original S2000. Add in a taut new chassis, quicker steering ratio, “stickier” tires, and track-inspired has never felt so meaningful. EXCLUSIVE STANDARD FEATURES: * Firmer springs and dampers * Stiffer front and rear stabilization bars * Quicker steering ratio * Larger rear P255/40 R17 tires * Bridgestone Potenza RE070 tires * All-new 17" dark gray 5-spoke alloy wheels * Fully functional aerodynamic front and rear spoilers * Yellow and black fabric * Yellow-stitched seats, shift boot and steering wheel * Spherical aluminum shift knob * Removable aluminum hardtop * Body-colored roll-bar cowlings * Sport-tuned exhaust silencer PERFORMANCE FEATURES: * Skidpad pulls .95G * Slalom speed 71mph * Coefficient of lift reduced approximately 70% over original S2000 * Over 2-seconds per lap faster around Japan’s Tsukuba Raceway than the original S2000 Products Used: Exterior: Adam's All Purpose Cleaner in the Cam Spray Foam Canon Swissvax Paint Rubber and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube Menzerna Super Intensive with the Uber Green Pad Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad Menzerna Top Inspection Swissvax Finesse Einszett Spray Wax Wheels/Tires/Etc Einszett Plastic Deep Cleaner Einszett Wheel Cleaner Adam's VRT Uber Boar's Hair Wheel Brush Swissvax Wheel Brush Swissvax Autobahn Adam's Undercarriage Spray Adam's Glass Cleaner Tools: Fenix TK11 Brinkmann MaxFire Metabo PE12-175 Flex 3403 The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun Prep: Swirls Bug and tar Wheels Wheel well Wash Wheels/Tires/Wheel well Pre soak Dan foaming it up Rinse Claying Polishing Before shot of the top Tape to test the area decided to go with Menzerna Super Intensive and the Uber Yellow pad then finish it up with Menzerna PO85RD with the Uber Blue Pad After SIP After PO85RD 50/50 Me on the Flex 3403 is a blessing in disguise, its so light its enabling me to get back into the game Dan polishing big assist as my hand is still out of wack Various polishing shots Rinse down due to dust Shots outside after polishing Swissvax Finesse Dan doing the final touch up work After shots; Wheels and tires all dressed up and waxed up Engine was wiped down |
