Thread: 2002 Suzuka Blue Metallic S2k by Got Leather

This car belongs to a close friend of mine. He bought the car roughly a year ago (maybe a little less) and I have done 2 maintenance details prior to this one. I knew the car needed a nice polish to really amp the level of gloss. At first, I wasn't much of a fan of this color, but after seeing the car more frequently I started to give in and now I'm really starting to like this Suzuka Blue by Honda. The car is also modded nicely. Mugen Front lip, suspension work, clear signals, and an Invidia exhaust that sounds like pure sex but EXTREMELY loud. Enough of me talking, onto some pictures.

The process for this car was as followed.

Wash via 2BM
Clay
Optimum Polish II via Green LC Pad @ 1400 RPM's
Chemical Guyz EZ Creme Glaze via White 3M Pad @ Speed 6 on PC
Opti-Seal via Red Euro Hand Applicator x2 (2 hours apart)
Optimum Car Wax v2 x2 (one before final pictures, one before customer pickup)

Wheels were cleaned with degreaser diluted 4 to 1 using EZ Detail Brush. Then they received Optimum Poli-Seal. Tires were treated with Extreme Tire Shine.


Upon arrival. Still looks decent from a few months back when it last received Opti-seal/OCW



Although the wheels were not caked with brake dust, they still needed a deep thorough cleaning



Driving on the interstate from school to home takes it toll on the front bumper



Using the MINI detail brush is a must for sports cars such as these with the rotors allowing very little space



The rest of the pictures are me using my new Nikon D60. I'm getting a little better, but slowly. It's alot more complicated than my old Sony. Any comments are appreciated as well on that. These came out good, but once I get the manual settings down, I can't wait to see the possibilities.

How's the flake?

















Another decent flake shot

One of my favorite shots for some reason



Put the top back up for a few shots

















I was happy with the gloss level achieved

Wheels came out nice. Poli-Seal does a great job.







Exhaust tip and canister were treated with Optimum Metal Polish

hate to say it but i see it too. on these two shots you can clearly see some of the swirls. i mean i dont mean to bash anyone because its good work overall and im sure its a simple error but after Millenion brought it up i carefully looked at all the pictures again because i thought he was messin around and i found that he was actually correct. might have over looked this one because on your Jet Black 335i post...your work was pretty much on point...especially on a black car where errors can easily be seen.

Still, a pretty good clean up!!!
