Got up today, the wife and 3 yr old had most of their day planned. So I thought I would go over to a friends and clean up "red" for him. Called Chris and he was headed the same way already. Our mission today was just to clean the car up and apply some Z5pro. It would get a full detail later.
The car was at some "un-named" shop for the last 2-3 months and of course still has the same problem. :wall It also came back just a "little bit" dirtier, especially on the inside. :bat
After rinse, before wash:
Top, nasty after applying 303 fabric top cleaner:
I let it dwell for 20 mins. Gave it a scrub and let it dwell for another 10 mins. Then rinse and rinse. Looks better, will evaluate after it dries.
Interior:
Just about the entire is covered in Caravaggio Leather.
Thanks to the fine folks at this "un-named" shop who the owner spent alot of money with on the interior and many other modifications....
The interior will have to wait for another day, the wheels will need to be dismounted and thourghely cleaned. Chris gave the wheels a very good effort, but we did not have any good wheel cleaner on hand. :ignore
The swirling and marring on the paint is not that bad. I have seen alot worse on vettes.
So after the wash-clay-wash, I decided to light polish/clean the paint with some ZPC and a white pad on the PC at 6. It looked nice enough for now, so I applied a beta version of Zaino Clear Seal.
Sorry for the crappy pics. It was not very nice at all outside, the car will be staying at the shop for a while.
Chris and the owner came by after I had left. The owner said, this is the best the paint has ever looked. Chris told him wait till he does the full polishing. :woot:
Can't wait to give it a full detail. The interior and wheels will take a while, but I will get this car back to the level it and the owner deserve.
