Car looks great...I am considering really high end new carpet. It is an often overlooked detail that can really make an interior stand out. If its not in your budget consider black spray carpet dye, I tried it, and it works too...That way your carpet doesn't appear so blue in the photos...Just some thoughts..good luck with your nice ride...Brent :)
 
I was thinking of getting my car detailed by the same company. Are you totally pleased? How much did it run you? Thanks

Also, you going to the local get together dinner on Wed. I'd love to see your car.

I've been getting all of my cars detailed there for the past 4 years. They have quite a reputation and definitely live up to it. The first time I took my car there, I came to pick it up a little early. I saw the owner and an employee circling my car with toothbrush in hand meticulously brushing off excess wax for about 15 minutes. That's when I decided I would come back. A full detail costs $180 and a normal wash costs $35.

I will be at the dinner on Wed. See you then.
 
WOW!! That car is beautiful....amazing.
 
Although white is not my favorite color, everytime I see a white NSX I like white more and more. I think my next NSX will be white for sure.
Beautiful car!
 
Just My Opinion

The car is gorgeous.

However, what looks to be a plastic driver's side floor mat has got to go. :(

What products do they use on the car? Are they open to using customer supplied products like Zaino? Does the price of the detail include orbital buffing and paint cleaning?

I have looking for a local detail place for years but have never found the right place.

Checked out the site, it looks like they do have a paint sealant option instead of traditional wax:) The photos of your car seem to correlate to the photos of the Herndon location shown on the website. Have you gone to their Chantilly location as well? If you have been to both locations, in your opinion is one better than the other when it comes to the skill of technicians?

Thanks for the input.

I've been to both locations. I choose to go to the Herndon location even though it's slightly further than the Chantilly location because I think Herndon does a better job. The owner is at the Herndon location. That may be why they do a better job.
 
Did you get your speeding ticket before or after the detailing? Maybe the car looked too good??? If you're coming to NSXPO this week, be carefull, they're all over rt 17!!! Car looks great!!!
 
Hey Charley!

The car looks GREAT!
I am the guy who purchased your last Wings West kit.
I guess you decided to put another on on this car. :D
I still have not put in on, because I have been so busy.
I do have it all prepped though!
Did this replace the black NSX that you had when we met?

All the best,

Nate in DC

Hey Nate,
Yeah, after I sold the black one, I test drove some Porsche 911's and M3's. They didn't compare to the NSX so I ended up buying another one.

You should come to the dinner at Tysons Corner tomorrow night.
 
Charley,

I would like to, but my wife and I have to go to Batimore this evening.
We will have to get together another time.

BTW, this weekend is not good. It is our 1 year wedding anniversary!

Next weekend would be great.

I will pm you with my phone numbers.

Nate
