91 Berlina Black NSX Opti Coat

I got called in to give this NSX a once over after completing the owner's BRZ about 2 months ago. The car only has 56,xxx miles on it since 91, so it was in pristine condition, mechanically speaking. Unfortunately the paint looked like it has never been through a decent detail.

We decides on a 2 step process to do a bit more than "cleaning it up" as the owner was thinking about selling the car. There are numerous spots on the car where it looked like bird dropping had sat a bit too long, the entire front end was also heavily pitted, and about half of the car was repainted one time or the other.

Materials used:

2 bucket method
Karcher 5.85M with AutoGlos cannon
Microfiber Chenille mitt
WW towels from Richard Lin
AG CWC for wheels and tires
Megs APC+ for wheel well and exhaust
SV Wheel brush
Daytona speedmaster
Megs hyper wash
Rupes 21ES from Kevin Brown
Various MF towels
Various B&S pads
Scholl Concepts S3 gold as compounding step
HD advance polish to finish out the compounding haze
303 aerospace protectant as tire shine
Opti Coat as protection

I won't bore you with wheel cleaning or during washing pictures, I'm sure everyone sees plenty of those everyday..... so here are pictures of the defects
