Honda S2000

Here we have a Honda S2000 in black, probably one of the worse condition car I have worked on thus far. Aggressive swirl marks, light to medium scratches, very rough paint surface with stubborn embedded contaminants.


Before view:

 

Aggressive Swirl marks, signs of using dirty sponges and cloth to wash and dry

 

 Scratches here that were developed from scrubbing dirt off the car with sponge or towel

 

Head light oxidised from weather (rain and sun)

 

Convertible top not protected, starting to fade

 

Stubborn embedded contaminants that could not be seen are picked up by clay bar

 

50/50 view of trunk buffed vs non buffed

 

 

After a few hours of paint correction, swirl marks are gone, some scratches are still visible (requires grit sanding to be removed).

 

 

After view:

 

 

 

Wheels cleaned and Tyres dressed

 

Convertible top cleaned and protected

 

 

Glass cleaned with Meguairs Glass Cleaner

 

Bonnet scratches removed

 

Headlights restored

Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V Spec

Just about a month ago, my car was parked at Cannington Recreation Centre car park, when returned to my car I noticed Key Marks from front fender to the rear fender. Key marks were quite deep and its almost impossible to have them removed.
 

Here are the Key Mark scratches on the drivers side:

After washing and prepping the car and ready for machine buffing, I realised buffing will not remove the scratches as they were too deep. Hence, I had to use 1500 Grit Sanding, and buff off afterwards.

Have to be very careful when sanding, too light and it will not remove the scratch and too deep it will eat into the clear coat and you would have to re paint the entire panel.


Here are the Grit Sanding marks:

 

After carefully sanding down the scratches, and making sure they successfully removed the scratches I then proceed to buff it down with 3M Heavy cut polisher using Lake Country CCS Coarse pad and Porter Cable 7424xp buffer.

 

 

Many hours later, the result:

 

Saved myself $1,000-$2,000 to get it repainted, and having panels that do not match the colour after it's repainted. Please note that the key mark scratch did not penetrate through the clear coat, if it did I will have no other option to repaint the panels.
