This car is classified as a "problem child" detail, two plus years of track duty and neglect it was time to retire it of the track as the owner is buying a 430 challenge car foe specific use(thank the heavens).



This car was wrapped by Premier (venture clear film) over the entire car except for the area behind the hoops and the engine decklid,with SEVERE water etch on the film I had a real battle with this job along with filth on every surface of the car inside and out.



WASH:P&S citrus hand wash

CLAY: GI fine green clay

WHEELS: GI wheel gel

TIRES:GI signature tire dressing

TRIM: GI TRV

INTERIOR: GI interior cleaner

LEATHER: GI satin leather polish



CORRECTION



Vinegar wipe down, followed by heat gun treatment and CG water spot treatment



POLISH: combo of GI evo cut and Menzerna PO85RD with GI EVP pad prime with rotary and Festool DA on highest setting



Painted areas needed wool pad correction with Megs 105 and EVP followed with GI evo cut and GI fast cut foam, then finish polishing with combo of GI evo polish and EVP and PO85RD, then CG acrylic glaze with the Flex DA and GI 100ppi finish foam pad



The "before pics" oh yah this was going to be fun

I am in love with that garage! It must have been a pleasure to work there. Looks remote. I like remote, no interruptions.



Nice work.
 
I can't believe the wheels were chrome. I seriously thought from the first picture that they were just dirty bronze wheels.
 
Very nice work as usual Bob! Most people would have ran away from that one...



What was the process on the rear "window"?
