S2000 Paint Correction, Headlight Restoration & Ceramic Coating (Part 2)

0:04So I'm use the McGuire DA microfiber or correction compound, which is a little, a little bit more tough

0:11And mom polish the hood

0:13Cheta, I'm not gonna mask it off, but I'm just gonna see the left and right

0:27All right, so I started polishing just to see what

0:31Level of acceptance I can have and as you can see, oh

0:36There this is clean. This is clean, but this side is polished. So

0:42It's looking way better

0:46Versus here and this is not wet or anything. This is just like

0:53Compound and polish so it's gonna even look better than this and

0:58and

1:00So the the difference is amazing. I didn't do masking tape. I just kind of because I'm on the whole hood, of course, but

1:30These bird

1:32marks are

1:35I'm gonna be there. I'm gonna see

1:36If I can make it look a little bit better, but I definitely don't want to play around with this too much because

1:43It can look a lot worse

1:451500 grit, and then I'm not use 2000. I'm gonna

1:49What's in this?

1:53You can still see it

2:06But it's a lot less less than noticeable

2:09So overall, it's a win in my book

2:20All right, so I'm gonna do the

2:22headlights

2:24You probably see it is. Pretty bad

2:27so I

2:30would recommend masking off everything here, but

2:36I'm I'm not gonna do it

2:43Here we go. I'm gonna start with a thousand grit

2:48And then move up to 1500 and then 2000

2:52All right, so this is still drying but this was 1500 grit now. I'm gonna do 2000 grit

3:09So I do have it. This is 2000. Great. It's a little wet still, but

3:21after 2000 grit, I am just gonna use polishing compound for plastics and

3:29Should look real good.

3:35Headlight is looking a lot better

3:39Still need to coat it so I would even look better than that

3:45Haven't done this headlight yet. This was the this one wasn't as bad as that headlight the passenger headlight

3:51So I started on that one first

3:54so

4:03Gotta have some ceramic coating for this bad boy

4:10using the

4:12CQ UK

4:14Quartz

4:16Is a pretty much the sealant the magic

4:23Here is the little fabric

4:28Make a little line. We're gonna be good

4:30So before I do that, so I'll get a little quick wipe it down

4:33Line like this. I'm gonna start in the force. All right

5:09two layers of ceramic coat later, and I'm gonna finish it off. It's been about a

5:15It's the's been on an hour, so I'm a do this little top coat. So this is really good against like repelling

5:24water, but

5:26apparently

5:27The ceramic by itself. It's still like can't have like water spots and the sealant

5:34helps silica

5:36spray

5:37Sealant helps prevent that so you have layers of protection and

5:42Yeah, you just spray

5:45and wipe

5:47Alright,

5:48so this is my

5:51In the Sun after ceramic

5:52coating

5:55after cutting polish

5:57So you can definitely tell it is in way better shape in the terms of paint. So let's look at some reflections

6:05Clouds are looking good. Painting is looking good

6:12Immaculate right there at least you know in the in the front. Here you go

6:20Front end is looking so much better. The hood was the biggest offender

6:25But now you can see the reflections are looking. Oh so good

6:31Just look how creamy and sharp. Those reflections are now

6:35We got a love to see it you love to see it

6:38Of course, it's no secret to I do love do be loving black cars. So

6:44Definitely want to take care of them

6:47So

6:49Just check it up

6:51Check out those reflections and now the- the wheels I'm planning to refinish. So I I did wash them

6:58But they aren't like super anything crazy

7:03Cleaning just a normal wash in

7:05With the wheel cleaner and then pressure wash them

7:09As far as the rear

7:12Here it is

7:14I'm looking good. Let's see if you can see that sundered

7:18So again the paint was in real bad shape

7:22Looks like I can wipe right there a little bit by the keyhole. There's some

7:26sealant still there, but

7:31trunk paint

7:34Everything is prepped

7:37beautifully

7:38So I'm just gonna walk around the car real quick

7:41So I can show it very similar to

7:46My original video

7:48You can kind of see

8:05the comparison

8:07But overall really happy with the S2000 and she'd be looking beautiful
