amazing transformation right there man!
Another case of why I cannot fathom why people pay all that money for car and then use it as a mobile dumpsite.

Yeah I agree. Such a nice vehicle to let go like that. Shame.
Great work! :D

Sweet work - looks so much better especially inside. Awesome job on the carpets.
Question - IP on a yellow to LSP? How? The paint must have been incredibly hard; I can`t even imagine IP/yellow to LSP on a Japanese car!

Nice work. The paint looks nice and dark and wet. That interior looks clean enough to eat off of. Good job.

If you notice in my other detail picture threads, i usually go from IP to LSP :nixweiss

How ?? I guess I could not tell you :(
Navigator is Japanese ?? :secret

I used the simple green that is found in the automotive section at target.
i do not think it is the automotive one, that one is in a different bottle.
this is the concentrate and i just dilute it depending on how bad the area i`m using it on is, make sense ?? :o
I think i use around 10:1 maybe ?? sometimes 12-15 :1
is that bad ? never harms the finish of the wheels ( although i do test it out on a small spot each and every detail ), still works well for wheels wells and tires ( white lettering too ) and spot treatment for carpets :2thumbs:
thanks for the compliment
