1995 Acura NSX Restoration Detail
Here is the completed job by "Bob'n Bing Inc. The teasers were posted earlier but here is the fruit of our labor(by three former GI guys) we had 96 hours plus into the car as every surface from paint to trim and all of the suspension had fifteen years of built up crud.Special thanks to Richie and Mark Zamzow for helping me thru this last two weeks of a busy schedule.
Here is the car in the beginning.
The front bumper had been re-painted the week previous but needed finishing as it had sand scratches and holos.
Customer requested we not wash the car conventionally, so out came my "Low pressure washer" which sprays a fine mist as opposed to getting the car really wet.
Richie claying the finish.
Start of the very long process of correcting the paint. Some 50/50 pics.
On the previous pics of the wing we had sanded the finish then corrected, here is the other side sanded down.
50/50 of the re-sprayed bumper, which needed a little help........
More areas that were sanded.
"The Bing" removing the wing.
Wing removed to allow us to properly correct all paint finish areas.
Trunk area before correction.
50/50 after compounding.
Hood sanded.
After correction.
Richie taping an area for me to sand.

Passenger side before correction.
3 inch wool pad rotary correction in progress pic.
Wool pad holograms.
Holograms removed.
Dirt & crust build up.
Front spare tire compartment.
Mark doing his thing.
More crust & dirt.
Small area clean up.
Here I am for some tedious work, the roof was removed so I could get the original delivery plastic off the roof edge after 15 years!!!!!!!!! tedious suckness but worth it in the end.
After pics of the front spare tire compartment.
Interior was not as beat up as the rest of the car but still needed some work, here are the finished pics.
Final wipedown pics.
In this pic, you can see the re-finished wheel, which honestly had this not been done the car would not be finished off properly.
