Owner bought this car used and wanted a complete detail with a little extra special attention. ;)

Exhaust tips

Paint condition was very hard to capture and the pics do not show the true condition. The finish was actually worse than what you see. There was a lot of rail dust too on the tops that I could not capture with the camera.

Etching in the clear that was easily removed with M105

A few scuffs were visible on the car like this

Interior was in pretty good condition

Small mark on the passengers seat.

The only real trouble area on the interior was in the back seat under the floor matt. I doubt the owner even knew it was there.

Wheels were removed to properly clean and protect the inner side of them. Since I had the wheels off I went over the wheel wells with a little more detail than usual.

Chrome on the wheels was clean with M105 and sealed with KAIO. I`d also made sure to torque the wheels to factory specs when I reinstalled them.

My process for the correction was M105 Via the Flex 3401 on a Meguiar’s W7207 foam pad. I followed that up with M205 via the rotary with a Meguiar’s W9207 foam pad. A few RIDS remained but they are very hard to see given the color. My LSP was Wolfgang DGPS (x2).

After: (Sorry it was cloudy with off and on rain…I’ll get sun shots tomorrow)

As excellent as the exterior looks, the interior is more impressive. Not only was it trashed but that is one cramped interior to work in. :lol

It never ceases to amaze me how owners let their cars get this bad:wow: the pics of the finish show quite clearly how bad it was and now how nice it is!!! if this car were black that is a three day correction.

Thanks Scott! It was very cramped interior! The back glass was a pain to clean and I have no idea how the owner ever tinted the back window!

Well in defence of the current owner he did buy it used. Prior to seeing it we were only going to do a 1-step correction. As soon as he pulled up I was like oh boy...:faint:
