Just getting around to responding now...

Nice work! AL posting in 5,4,3,2,1...

Thanks!

Nice Work.
Good reflections.

Is this vehicle used for off road purposes? Why pop rivetted panels?

As far as I know, the car is used on normal streets as well.

kaval, just out of curiosity. How does the owner open up the boot with the hardtop extension and wing in place?

To be honest, I am not sure if there is access to the boot with that hardtop extension and wing. I doubt it though.

wow

Thank you!

beautiful! This is the reason why I love black. Great job!

Thanks! Black is always tough, but the results are worthit!

Sweet! Looks like black glass! Fabulous job!

Thank you very much!

Absolutely stunning work. The paint looks like liquid .
I also haven't seen any aftermarket S2K's that I like, but this one...wow. I love its proportions and the styling. Great job!

Thank you very much!

nice work

Thanks!

Nice work, Kaval,

So let me get this straight. The following processes were performed:

1. PFW + M105 at 1800rpm
2. White Pad + SIP at 1600rpm
3. Black Pad + Final Polish II at 1200rpm
4. Blue Pad + Poli Seal at Speed 6 on PC.

That is an awful lot of steps, but it pays off.




For the life of me, I would have never thought of using Poli Seal as a polish against buffer trails!!! Do you think the sealing agent would hide the buffer trails? I know you did an IPA wipe down, but would there be a possibility of that?

Yeah the steps listed are correct. I wasn't happy to have to do a 4th step, but every job is like a resume and you have to s u c k (why is it starred out?) it up and deal with it.

In my experience, Poli-Seal has enough cut to get rid of the light trails. When I mean light, I mean very light trails. With enough pressure, you can do some light correction which is exactly what I need. I have read on the Optimum forums that when using Poli-Seal by machine, you can do correction. Try using Poli-Seal with a 4 inch orange pad on the PC. You can knock out some nice swirls! I wonder how the Meguiar's alternative works?

Great work. The reflections are off the charts. Way to go.

Thanks a lot!!

Heavy modified import, surprise surprise.
Your excellent job exceeds what the car deserves!

lol, I take it you don't like the modified imports :P
Thanks for your compliments!

loving the s2k work, cant wait til i get my own i dont think i would ever trade the drop top for a hard top, but i love the spoon hard top, to bad it makes the trunk, wasted space. great job!!!!!!!!! looks amazing!!!

Thanks a lot! If I had an S2K, I would want to keep the trunk too, even though it's really small :P.

Love the aftershots. Hats off to you Kaval of MIS.

Thank you very much!

Looks great! Got to hate the Honda paint no matter what you do it is going to swirl,

Cat :x

Thanks! Black Hondas are tough to work with. I did an 08 Si yesterday and even after M105 on a white, PowerFinish on a white, and FPII on a blue, there was still light buffer trails. This time I use Poli-Seal on a white, did a couple of IPA wipedowns, and the trails were gone. It's almost tempting to charge extra for black Hondas, lol!

Beautiful end results. That paint looks dripping wet.
