Rolls Royce Phantom, Pontiac Solstice (both black)

2004 Rolls Royce Phantom. Regular customer, although I've seen his custom F-250 more than the Rolls lately. It hadn't been polished out in about a year but was holding up well. I started with Zaino Z-PC using a white LC polishing pad, followed by Clearkote's Pink (50/50 VM and RMG) Moose, also using a white LC pad and waxed with my 80/20 blend of Meguiars #16 and FK's Pink Wax.

2007 Pontiac Solstice. Pretty new but still some light swirls and marring and a few interior stains and grime. Overall though, it was in decent shape.

I started with Optimum Polish using green Edge Cyclo polishing pads, followed by Clearkote's Pink (50/50 VM and RMG) Moose, also using a white LC pad and waxed with my 80/20 blend of Meguiars #16 and FK's Pink Wax.







I spent a good portion of the detail thinking really evil thoughts about whoever designed that idiotic honeycomb rear grill. Apparently, no one involved thinks anyone might clean their cars and resent spending 20-30 minutes cleaning that area.













A couple shots with the top up...





Pontiac has really made huge strides with their interiors, really nice fit and finish and excellent choice of materials. Woolite/water to clean the vinyl and leather, BioKleen Traffic Lane Cleaner for the carpet and mats. Vinyl dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus and leather with Zaino Z10.

I know you have souveran why would'nt you it on those cars?


Do you ask the customer if durability is a concern?

Nice work as usual, Scott. That Solstice looks like a fun, affordable ride. The Rolls..., well, what can I say.

Cheers,
HeavyB
