My Swirl Mark Free New Baby
Hello this is my first post as I've been lurking and hopefully I can learn alot from here. I live in OC and wanted to know if there are any local meets or gatherings? I waited to have my car detailed today to finally post it. Its all stock but I may have some plans for it... Detailer provided me the pictures as I forgot my camera at work.
Car was purchased brand new with dealer installed swirls. Photographing the swirls was hard on this color even with the halogens, but it had moderate swirls, marring, scratches etc. Spiderwebs and swirls  Another angle to showcase the swirls  Passenger Fender (left side) Polished and Hood (right side) untouched  Passenger Fender Polished to Perfection  Sun was going down so I didn't get great pics    Wiped the last of the wax off and let her go  Last edited by 2008s2k : 04-03-2008 at 09:49 PM. |

Congrats on the new car, very nice. So what wax did you use to get rid of the swirls? Good job!
Just one more question........I see short sleeves and palm trees, so why is the top up? I think you can get a ticket for that here.

I can't believe a dealer would let a brandy new S2000 off the lot with those swirls. Excellent job fella ! Great color too.
I've only seen one S that color in my area. Enjoy it !!!

Stay away from car washes (even the "hand" ones). Looks beautiful without the swirls. Hey, looked beautiful with them. I've seen a great detailing handbook for S2000's that is online. I can't remember if it is on this site or one of the other S2000 sites.

Wax once a week!!?? You know that's pointless right? A good wax job should last about six months lol. But tis each his own.

My car has still got some light swirls on it. Purchased new but.............it came from the showroom floor where the local cleaner probably took a broom over it every night ready for the morning.

LBP goes really well with those wheels........drop it an inch or so and your
 As for the question about more HP, there isnt much you can do except supercharger or turbo that will yield any substantial gains.
