Hey guys, well this car needed a decent amount of work, my process was as follows for the exterior



-Wash with NXT wash

-Clay with Pinnacle poly ultra clay (NXT quick detail used as lube)

-Optimum Compound Hood/Roof Orange pad PC set at 5500

-Optimum Polish via Orange pad, speed 6000 whole car, worked many panels for a decent amont of time

-Optimum polish via White pad whole car, quick passes, finishing mainly

-Poorboys EX/quick detail wipedown

-Wheels cleaned with mothers metal polish/tires NXT Hotshine

-NXT Glass cleaner to all windows/mirrors

-Poorboys Trim Restorer to exterior trim pieces



The interior was pretty bad to say the least, very dirty, lots of stains, I found myself using diluted simple green/Poorboys trim restorer more often than not, rugs were in ok shape, overall it was just dirty as you will see in the pictures



-Vacuum

-Poorboys Trim restorer on dash/door panels

-Leather cleaned/conditioned with poorboys leather stuff (worked awesome)

-Diluted simple green for tough spots on lower panels
