This car was in new condition besides some slight hazing, so it didn`t require any heavy polishing. The person who bought the car lives out of state, so it was being shipped to him on an enclosed car trailer. The process was very simple.



My process:



Washed exterior



Buffed exterior with Optimum polish using a polishing pad @ 1400 rpm



Werkstatts Prime by hand to complete exterior and wheels



Werkstatt`s AJ by hand



Topped with OCW



Dressed tires & wheel wells with Super Blue Dressing



Meguiar`s Quick Interior Detailer on interior vinyl & leather

beautiful Rick - btw, do you just apply 1 coat of tire shine or several layers?

I only use 1 coat.



I use a half-moon shaped sponge for an applicator which works well.

Similar lines and tail light assembly to the 4th gen Honda Prelude :grinno:

That red interior is a little in-your-face!

Nice job on the detail, you`ve become the guru exotic car detailer, must be weird working on anything less...lol :xyxthumbs



I actually really like this car, sure I`d take a Ferrari over it; but I actually think the interior is nicer than the Ferraris. The Maserati has a little more flavor inside, I`ve always found Ferrari interiors to be bland.

1 Clean WS6 did one of those with a dark blue interior which looks even better. Nice work Rick. :)

I thought the poor man`s ferrari was a Pontiac Fierro. :laugh:



Rick Rack, I love your work. What size/brand of pads do you use with your rotary? I`ve been using the Lake Country/Wolfgang Curved Edge Full Contact 7.5" Foam Pads. They`re pretty effective but a little finicky. I`m wondering if there`s something else I should try.
