Yes it will more than likely be at the National Meet in June. Steve is very well connected and this could be a possibility, heck they do stuff like this all the time. Maybe we could donate money for a charity if that will help get us in the "door".

Vadi, Matt is right!

Last year, they said we could get on the track, but there were getting ready to tear it up.

So I will call them early and try to set something up. I don't know costs or anything, but let's see what happens.

Steven...Morgan knows what he's talking about...there's a 7 Series Beemer that goes to the ball park near me...took me seeing his car about 4 times before I realized it wasn't a POS with primered hood/roof and trunk...he had wrapped in CF.

Obama says NO to CF wrapped roofs.

Steven - If you want CF that bad, get it done right. Peel the roof skin off and put a real CF panel on there. Sure its $$$$, but it would look 100000000000x better.

i see what you did there....

Steven, I told you get gloss black....but you are a sucker for CF....if the wrap is only a 100 bucks, then give it a shot....if you dont like it, well you can still sell whats left of the wrap

Yea, I know Anil. I love the CF, so if it can't be Carbon Fiber, I'm going to skip it.

It's not that big of a deal-it looks great, just the way it is.



And I especially like the placement of the Type S badges above the side markers, right J?

That might be my Type S-look at the tails!

Michael, I can meet on Sunday after 3pm. I've got a Mavericks Hockey gameday run-through from 12 noon-3pm.

If you guys want to meet at my house at 4pm, we can install Mike's window roll-up module.

Wolfgang's Detail.

I was finally able to get in a full detail today. Swoosh came over and we detailed his car too. Both Acura's got Wolfgang's Deep Paint Sealant.


On my Type S, I did a full wash (with Blue Dawn), Claybar, Menzerna Super Paint Polish, Zaino All In One and then the Wolfgang's. Due to time, we were not able to claybar Anil's car, but the results were very good!

By the time we were done, the sun had already set. We got some "depth" pictures of Anil's NBP TL, but not that great of shots of my Type S.


The paint feels fantastic on both cars. The shine on Anil's is fantastic.




















We had contrails in the sky above us-notice how well they show up on the hood of Anil's TL.....

























Final shot....a "reflective" picture.....

Looking good as usual Steven! Maybe I will hop on this Wolfgang stuff. How did the blue pearl come out on Swoosh's car? That's what I really want to gleam.

Thumbs up to both of you guys!

...Final shot, why is Anil pantless? I didn't realize it was THAT kinda wax party!
Nice job, Steven. I'm glad you weren't disappointed with the stuff. Did you and Anil agree? Super easy off and on and VERY deep gloss?

Quan, you sure could see the blue pearl come out!


Jeremy, we both really liked the stuff. I think we put it on thick, so it was a little more work for us to do. But it's really good stuff!

Q, the blue did pop out...i bet if we had a little more sunlight, we would have taken some nice pix of the pearl....

you jelly?

I do agree, Wolfgang was super easy to go on and come off....

the Zaino all in one polish which Steve had, was super easy to go on as well but was a pain in the butt to come off....I think if I would have let it sit for couple more minutes, it would have been easier to come off too....

Yep, I used them yesterday. They seemed to work fine. I used them for the cutting process-not the final process. We did the last 2 stages by hand.
