Oakes Detail: AMF Racing S2000 *Day pics added!!!* - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Oakes · 05-01-2009, 12:06 AM

A full week long detail, done by myself, of AMF RACING's S2000. Out of the 400+ pics I tried to find a good bit that really showed the full effect of the detail. Try and keep this as descriptive and organized as possible!

*The detail did not require a week, however it was very beneficial having the time to perform the tedious job*

Process:
Full wash and Clay
Menzerna Intensive Polish
-Porter Cable, orange pad - 4 hours
Menzerna Final Polish
-Porter Cable, white pad - 2 hours
Menzerna Finishing Touch Glaze
-hand applied -cured overnight
Optimum Opti-Seal
-hand applied -cured for 4 hours
Collinite's No. 845 Insulator wax
-hand applied -cured for 3 hours.
Rewashed

BEFORE PICTURES: Note swirling!

Before and after of wheels

50/50 Shots!

Fender Before/After

Paint Shots!

Interior Shots!

Full car shots!

Reflections!

Beading Shot!

They are but my only complaint is the convertible top/hardtop. I'm not a fan for the cloth top, but the hardtop on these cars looks good but still looks awkward IMO.

I'm the furthest thing from a convertible fan, but I would buy one of these in a heart beat. I've driven a LOT of different verts and this is my favorite.
