Looks good...

BUT... it's sort of cheating, in that it was professionally done. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but at least NSXNEXT did all the work himself!!! He didn't have a dealer professionally do something...

Still though, that shine is amazing!

Yup I'm dethroned....



Guess I better hand over my Zainoff plaque.

Looks great, although the camera can be quite deceiving.

I'd love to see a close-up of the car. Not that I doubt the shine.

I think if we had the TEFLON coating and a set of spatulas, Scooter & I could have fried up some extra burgers on our hoods at the last Park Ave. MEET.

great shines all around

no doubt darker colors give greater clarity and distinction regarding reflections...i'd venture to say if Neil's TL was green/blue, his shine would look just like Dust's

Shawn, u know how deep yer shine looks...absolutely perfect

Dust, incredible look...and on a 1st G too...im very impressed make it a point to come to the next PAA meet and show off that shine

Do you guys think that the Teflon treatment isn't just your typical sales pitch anymore?

And the reason why some of us complain of cheap paint on the 2nd gen could be the lack of this treatment? We misunderstood it as a sales pitch?

Yeah but you worked your ass off, Captain Thirty Coats, or however many you're up to, Shawn.

Good exercise though.

BS?
With all the evidence indicating this is the shine of the century you still doubt the teflon. Just my .02 cents. The guy Rick had it done by the Acura dealership and all he did was put this stuff they gave him on it and thats how this post happened. Apparently you only need to use it around twice a year.
