This NSX was a new purchase to its owner when he brought it to me. The car suffered some rain spotting and severe swirling, marring and other defects. The previous owner worked at a dealership and clearly had it maintained in dealership style, although the car had low miles on it as a big plus!

The pictures clearly speak for themselves here, this is the 11th NSX that I've corrected in the past year!

Tons of hard water spots, deep rids and swirls, just an overall dull look from the harsh chemicals and rough towels. 40K mile paint should not look like this on any car!

As you can see the condition was in dire need of proper correction, and here are some 50/50 photos of the corrective work!

And the fully corrected New Formula Red paint under the halogen lights...there is no LSP on the paint in these photos, this is after correction, wash and alcohol wipedown.

Awesome job. Incredible how much gloss and depth was added after the correction.
 
whew....fantastic job!!! That thing looks purty!
 
Thank you!

Negative, 2 layers of Blackfire and Wolfgang Fuzion applied 2 days after
 
Yep! Sealant is usually the standard, Id say 1/4 of the corrections opt for the Ceramic products. The other thing though, is Cquartz and I BELIEVE opti Coat cant be used on single stage paints, like most of the NSXs are SS paint.
 
Great work on the car.
Now it looks better then New and im sure the owner feels the same way.
 
damn, awesome job and sick car. I didnt know the nsx are single stage paint though. Either way, its the car im picking up after graduation...although maybe an older model.
 
Sick ride!! Anyone see the commercial for the new NSX during the super bowl?:hungry::hungry::hungry::hungry:
 
wow, those last shots really showed off the glow of the car. Great looking machine looking like it should. I bet the owner was thrilled!
 
Nice job, well done!

Isn't this Honda NSX (sorry, not from US).?
