Here is a 2001 Honda S2000 with almost 109,000 miles. It still drives great! A friend of mine owns a professional massage business. I told her I’d detail her car for a massage and to my delight she accepted. I didn’t know how dirty the car was! 
But that’s okay as I really enjoyed detailing it. In fact, I wish I would have had more time to work on it. I also enjoyed driving it! 240 brake horsepower! If only I could have taken it for a really good drive!
I dropped off my car at her business and drove her S2000 home. It was a sort trip but way fun. :awesome:
This car was dirty. I have detailed a few dirty cars but this one takes the prize as the dirtiest. I only had 4 hours to work on it so as soon as I pulled it in the drive way I went to work and didn’t stop for lunch or a break.
Process:
Wheels: (about 45 min) The wheels had a lot of brake dust on them. I wasn’t sure I would be able to get them completely clean. So I got out the pressure washer and PB Spray & Rinse. There is no better/ stronger wheel cleaner! I sprayed it down and used Amazing Roll Off on the tires and wheel wells. I scrubbed the wheels down with Chem Dudes Citrus wash. I washed them twice and changed the rinse bucket after two wheels! But just look how well they turned out. If I had the time I would have applied PB Wheel Glaze. I finished the tires with Pinnacle Black Onyx Tire Gel and the wheel wells with Chem Dudes Bare Bones.
Dirty Wheels (note the dirty side!)
Cleaning the tires:
Cleaning the wheel:
Clean Wheels
Wash: Chemical Guys Citrus Wash & Gloss. Black Shmitt, White/Yellow Shmitt and the AG Foam Gun
I spent about 45 minutes on the wash. Essentially I washed it twice.
Dirty Car:
With a little over 2 hours left I knew PB Polish with Sealant would be the product to use. It did not let me down. I used the UDM with an LC Smart Green pad. In case anyone wonders how well PwS actually polishes just look at these two pictures:
Before PwS
After PwS :buffing:
There was something on the bumper, it looked like paint. The PwS cleaned it right off! There were several other marks on the paint that PwS took care of. A good polish and it leaves a coat of sealant. I love this stuff!
I really wanted to use White Diamond Glaze and then a good wax, but time was not on my side. So, I waxed the hood and the truck with DP Max Wax and then applied Souveran Spray Wax on the entire car.
Interior: I just didn’t have the time to do the interior properly. I used the shop vac and DP Total Interior cleaner. The seats got Lexol Leather Cleaner and then an application of Meg’s Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner. I followed up with PB Natural Look on the interior.
The glass was cleaned with Surf City Glass Cleaner and I did a quick polish of the windshield with DP Glass Polish.

Much Cleaner Door
I’m pleased with the turn out. It needed a good clay before the polish, but again I didn’t have time. She was happy with the way it looked. I had a fun time driving it back to her place. Especially with the hood looking so good!
Finished Car:
The massage was 1.5 hours and awesome! Im the MAN
