My Yellow NSX restoration

[mjames75]

After I was happy with the area I wanted to add some protection to repel dirt and water, usually I would use a good sealant and wax by hand but in this case due to hard to reach areas I chose a quick spray sealant. Spray on and rinse off.



A quick test to show it works...



Dried the area thoroughly with cloths and a air dryer to ensure no moisture is left behind.

Hopefully should give a few months protection and will work on the area some more in warmer weather. I treated the underside of the hood, used some metal polish on the aluminium areas and treated the spare tyre with megs tyre gel-this is important as the rubber will crack if left untreated over the years. 303 aerospace protection added to plastics and rubbers.

Quite happy with the results after only a couple of hours. Probably will never use the spare but I can feel the difference in balance with it removed and prefer it in.


Guess what's missing?!



Signed by Jenson in 2004 so tried not to scrub too hard.

a few rusty brackets and bolts which I plan to replace but treated with rust stopper for now.

cheers,

Mike

Kaz already cleaned the bay after his recent service on my car but after nearly 900 miles on horrible winter roads dirt started to build up. I always wash the car after driving in winter as soon as I get home normally. Wiped down the engine bay and looks great again.....just need that red nsx r manifold cover I think...

Good job on the clean up, you can always get the engine plate powder coated or spray to match?

Why don't you mask off the surrounding area and put a couple of clear coats over JB's signature?
