  • Presidential Detailed: 2006 Kraftwerks Supercharged S2000-400WHP!!

    This is a friend of mine, Joe. Ive known him since I purchased my S2K a year or so ago and began hanging out with the S2K community. Ive seen this car go from stock to a full out auto-x/track monster! This particular car has the Kraftwerks Rotrex Supercharger on it and WOW is all I have to say! I had the pleasure of picking the car up and driving it about 30 minutes back to my house! I strongly feel this is what ALL S2K's should come with STANDARD! While this car is fairly new and pampered it still had your normal swirling in the paint and the owner wanted it in even BETTER shape than it already was. This was supposed to be a 2 day detail, but the weather was laughing at me as it rained HARD the entire first day I had the car and then we had FREEZING weather(I believe we hit the 20's this week!!!) so it slowed me down quite a bit. I ended up working on the car on and off for several days, working around the weather. Anyways, on to the pics!

      This car also has a true single weave CF hood, which needed some work after some abuse from the FL sun!




      Notice here, while I am taping off the vented slots you can actually see THROUGH the CF.


      Here, you can see just how badly it had been oxidized.




      Here, I am using a LC PFW Spot Buff pad for the small sections of the vents.


      50/50 Shot just after compounding.




      Before..


      After..


      Notice how dull the reflections are..


      And now everything is very crisp!


      Hood completed..

                      I just got them from Autogeek.net. They came with TWO grit guards EACH! And sealable tops.

                        Excellent work!

                        Did you final polish using Ultrafina with a Rotary, or a DA?

                        Polishing Paint removes the stress in my life, and the swirls on my car.

                          All of my work is done by rotary, I do need to pick up a DA for finishing though just for peace of mind.

                            Excellent work as usual, I really like reading your reviews as you are do a great job of letting the pictures tell the story... Car looks wet!

                            On the wheels, did you get them all the way clean with a brush or did you have to polish them somehow? That dirt and break dust looked like it was going to be hard to remove
                            Also, I've never polished out anything carbon fiber, do you use the same products on it as you would on the body?

                            Thanks,
                            Tom

                              P21s Wheel Gel and various brushed took care of them pretty easily.
