    I originally detailed this car back in '09 after the owner purchased it, which was covered in rail dust at the time. Since last being detailed the owner has done a few mods, including the new wheels which I coated back in January right out of the box. He also had the roof pieces painted black which gave the car a much better look IMO. However, the body shop had not wet sanded the pieces and they had heavy orange peel which he wanted removed. Overall the car was still in great shape and the rust blooms had not returned, though I hit the car with some IronX anyway since we only clayed it back in '09.


    Process:

    Wash - Foamed with OPC/CGCW followed by 2BM wash and CGCW
    Wheels - P21S Gel and various brushes
    Tires - OPC, dressed with Hyper Dressing 3:1
    Clay - Blackfire Clay and M34 as lube
    IronX - Decon
    Wet sanding -1500/2000/3000 by hand
    Initial Correction Step - D300/MF on the GG6 (M101 used on wet sanded areas)
    Finishing Step - Optimum Polish II/Crimson LC on the GG6
    Exhaust tips - Optimum Metal Polish
    Protection - Optimum Opti-Guard
