Today at Atelier Kaz - ex-Honda R&D, F1, Indy/CART engineer

Finally, the blue sky….
What a strange weather we are having this year….

Very warm and not much rain so BBQ in March, wet and cold April.....
It’s already mid July and still no sign of summer….



The top photo is actually the reflection at the black roof of my NSX.



I’m not a professional detailer so I don’t have enough knowledge or skill to
discuss the subject but one thing I always kept doing was to wash the car
whenever it got dirty and also twice a year in Spring and Autumn,
use the clay bar to clean the paint surface and then polish, shield and wax.

I kept doing this on all of my cars including the NSX so it’s now in its 18th year
with more than 138K miles.


Washed the car in the shade and while the body was wet,
brought it inside the garage and closed all doors.

Started feeling the surface of the paint and it was still very smooth but
there were some contamination felt so used the clay bar on all panels.

Didn’t want to use the polisher while having another NSX in the same place as
I’ll splash some of the polish while using the polisher
so only hand application this time…

Probably, I won’t be able to generate heat and
break down the tiny molecules of the polish enough but still happy with the result.

Then applied the sealant and took the car outside to cook it under the sun.

So, that’s when I took these photos.


After this, I’ll apply just thin coat of wax to make it shiny.
Hope I can find some time for this.....

Can’t wait for the summer……
