After the seats were back in and carpets were all cleaned up using folex and a wet/dry

I moved onto the engine compartment next

Vacuumed and treated with 303 fabric protectant

Engine all cleaned up, there were some etched water spots on the plastic trim which could not be fully removed unfortunately

The plastic trim by the engine bay was cleaned with 1Z CP, there really was no dressing that would leave a streak free finish on the slick plastic by the engine bay so I simply cleaned it with the CP.

Exhaust before

During w/ steel wool and Noxon

After

Front lower lip before

After the adams in and out spray, very quick product for small areas such as this.

Some quick notes before I get to the final shots.

-Plastic trim by the windows was treated with 1Z gummi pledge stick (thats not the proper name but thats what I call it)

-Lower front lip treated with Adams In and Out

-Tires dressed with 2 coats of Gloss It Signature Tire gloss

-Glass cleaned with IG and treated with Rejex

Now for the final shots after LSP

LSP was a 3 stack I find works awesome on colors especially like red and blue

1st- I used Danase wet glaze as a base coat. I find DWG gives a nice wet glow to the paint and on this red (which is pretty deep by nature) it really added a little pop to the finish. DWG has no cleaners or fillers and is fine to be layered over

2nd- I used Gloss It Gloss Finish sealant for the protection, this product has rivaled ZFX'd Zaino in every situation from extreme summer heat to ice cold winters. It leaves that same Zaino clarity just with some added depth.

3rd- My final and favorite product used was Gloss It Cocourso Gloss. This product is purely for looks, on its own it has a bit of protection but when layered over your sealant of choice it just takes the finish to a deeper wetter level.

All 3 LSP products were applied by hand with the 100ppi gold CCS hand applicator pads, these pads are very soft and buff very smoothly. Unfortunately they do not make an oval version of this pad without the white polishing pad as a backing (these are the ones I have)

Now some final shots, tried to get as many sun shots as possible.
