Today started early at 7:00 A.M. My brother and I had two cars to do, and I would like to thank him. While he is just learning, he did a very good job and kept me honest. The goal was to deep clean both cars in prep for a full Zaino treatment. While we were at it, we cleaned the engine of the Lexus (the Z06 was one of the nicest cars I have had to detail and was in almost perfect condition). Both interiors were cleaned, the family mobile (Lexus) got its carpets and floor mats shampooed.

Getting started early, washing with 2 bucket method
Yep thats me! Claying with Meg's Blue Clay
Bill lives near railroad tracks, so as expected the Lexus had some rail dust and contamination. This picture is after about 1/8 the hood. The Z06 only had minor contamination on the hood/roof/and tail. In comparison, it went rather smooth. My brother tackled the Corvette while I clayed the Lexus.
After washing/claying/drying both cars my brother went to work on the interior of the Corvette while I tacked the engine of the Lexus.
Engine after pictures...
Another picture of my brother working the on the interior of the Z06 (I screwed up his hair cut, behind his hair. Opps!!! Sorry Ryan!!!!)
With my brother tackling the Z06's interior I turned my attention to the family mobile.
I used
Meguiar's Quik Out to tackle some of the tough stains then shampooed with Meg's APC.
Later, when I was Zaioning the Z06 in the carport, my brother did an excellent job cleaning the leather with Z9, then conditioning with Z10. The interior was wiped down with Quik Interior Detailer.
Here is a shot after it was all done.
