After polishing I straightned up the interior

Trunk area afters

All trunk plastic trim was cleaned with P&S express interior cleaner

The designo leather was a cream white color, looks beautiful when clean but dirties extremely easy

A newspaper left in between the passenger seat and console left some ink smudging..

Before

After...

Door jambs cleaned and waxed with OPT

Wood trim after wax, I dont do this to jazz up my writeups. I just feel certain wood finishes benefit from a little wax treatment for some extra gloss, something that a plastic cleaner doesnt always provide

I had very limited time to work on this SL, single 12 hour day with 1 lunch break. I didnt have time to machine apply the Signature sealant so I grabbed JW AJ and applied 1 coat and followed up with 2 coats of Gloss-It Concourso (a must to get white cars to gloss)

Applied Concourso w/ 100ppi gold ccs pad

Finished photos...

3 coats of GI tire gloss

Got up early to take some finished shots outside, waiting for the sun to come up is quiet boring I must say :

This would have been an acceptable picture, but my shadow though otherwise

Short video after the final wipedown...
