I thought I would share a detail on a 2 day old Ghibli that was in for paint correction and Opti-Coat Pro.

What a beautiful key.

Pre-Rinsed a vehicles at 90 deg. C so that most if not all transportation adhesives were removed. (dealer washed the vehicle but not very well. You could still see where the adhesives were.)

Starting from the wheels we used a citrus cleaner to removed any brake dust that was on the vehicle. Be Careful here as you cannot use a citrus cleaner on ceramic brakes so if you optioned for that, use regular car wash soap.

We then used 2 bucket method to gently removed dirt and debris from the paint work.

After decontamination (clay bar, iron remover, organic contaminant removal) and drying we brought inside to tape up. We taped all the portions that we didn`t want the polish touching.

Action shot during polishing.

And finally the RESULTS!

Polished to a high gloss shine.

I love cars that are dark gray. Great job!

Great job. This car is a nice but I`m not sure why they want to call it a Ghibli, which, in the 60`s, was a 2-door Ferrari Daytona looking monster of a sweet car. This Ghibli looks like it`s going after the Panamera.

Beautiful car and you did right by it! I would have been too scared to touch such a car! Why can`t you use citrus cleaner on cerramic brakes?

The cleaner is a bit acidic and I`ve heard it can cause complications with carbon ceramic brakes. I rather use plain soap if possible on all wheel cleaning rather than taking out the heavy duty stuff.

He is correct. You cannot use any wheel cleaner I know of on Ceramic Brakes. Only mild soap and water. The good news is Ceramic Brakes do not dust much and the dirt you are removing from the wheels is 99.9% road film that is easily removed.
