LSP:
Jeff Werkstat Acrylic x1 (very short on time)
Gloss-It Concourso Gloss x2 by hand
Windows treated w Glass Polymer as well
Tires treated w/ Gloss-It tire gloss x3
Wheel sealed w/ Rejex
Trim dressed with Gloss-It TRV
Interior:
P & S express interior cleaner
Gloss-it satin leather polish
Folex on carpets
Gloss-It TRV on plastic door sills
OPT spray wax on jambs
Lusso Oro wax on wood trim for a little more shine
Before:
Wheels before
GI wheel gel hangin' out for a minute
and then agitated with various brushes
Let the foam sit for about 5 minutes before rinsing off and beginning the 2 bucket hand wash.. the lower panels were pre-treated with Tardis as a lot of particles landed on the paint (this car is daily driven to New york city)
Clayed using GI agressive purple clay
Followed up with 2 IPA wipedowns to prep the Finish for polishing. Even if all prior LSP is stripped off doing a thorough IPA or prep-sol wipedown is very important, especially if you use a clay lube with glossing agents or protection in it
The finish was very lightly swirled and extremely hard to capture defect on camera due to the flake, the clear was rock hard.
