1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spur, 1996 Ferrari 348 Spider, nasty 626 interior-mine!

[Scottwax]

Probably been a good 18 months since I have really cleaned my interior, no sense doing anything in the summer besides vacuuming and a quick wipe-down because it won`t stay clean with myself and my two sons using it to work out of. I finally got tired of how it looked, so the other day, I got busy.



I took some direct before and afters, it was getting late when I finished so the carpeting looks a lot darker than it actually was.

I used my Woolite/water mix, vinyl dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus, leather with Leather Master`s Leather Vital.



Few more afters:

The next day I washed it, and added a 4th layer (one each the last 4 weeks) of my 80/20 blend of Meguiars #16 and FK`s Pink Wax.

1987 Rolls Royce Silver Spur. Just over 70,000 miles on it. Overall in decent shape for a nearly 20 year old car, definitely a lot of dead cows and trees involved in the interior! The focus was the exterior, so I just vacuumed the interior. There were some bird bomb etchings in the hood that wouldn`t buff out completely but overall, the vast majority of the defects did come out, the paint was a bit softer than I expected.

The left side is polished with Optimum Polish using green Propel lite cut Cyclo pads:

Definitely single stage black!

I followed the Optimum/Propel combo with Optimum Poli-Seal using my PC and a white LC polishing pad and finished with Pinnacle Souveran.

That is one reflective black car... I don`t know if I have seen any better. Good job.

1996 Ferrari 348 Spider. Last polished out July of last year. I`ve washed it a couple times, so has the dealer. Had some light swirling/marring on its pretty soft single stage red paint, soft enough that while Optimum Polish using green Propel lite cut Cyclo pads removed the defects, it also left light hazing! Typically, even on soft paint, Optimum Polish finishes down LSP ready. Anyway, same as with the Rolls, followed with Poli-Seal and Souveran.

Your 626 is stunning, the black is just sooo wet. I almost want to buy a black car but then I think about how bad my OCD is with silver... imagine black!



Oh and everything else is just as impressive as always :woot2:

[Kenney]

How did you polish the air intakes on the 348 doors with a PC/Cyclo? Was there not much marring in those areas?

Scott, I am always looking at your threads and I am always amazed by the amount of correction you do by PC/Cyclo and the how wet and perfect you make paint look. You are definetly one of the guys I look up to on here.

[imported_Yal]

Ok I get it. I am already getting a cyclo next month lol :D



NiCe work! Did poli seal remove the haze on the Ferrari?

[imported_DieselMDX]

Could you please xplain the reasons you use a 80/20 split of 16 and FK1?







How do you apply and spererate the 2 waxes?
