The owner was gracious enough to help with the removal of the wheels to thoroughly
clean them and the wheel wells. He also volunteered to do the interior since it was in very good condition to begin with.
Using foam tipped swabs to clean all the crevices.
Since we only had two jacks, the wheels were removed 2 at a time.
P21S Gel cleaner didn't cut through the baked on brake dust too well so Meguiars Wheel Brightener was used and it did the trick. It was also clayed to remove stubborn spots.
After P21S TAW pre-soak, car was foamed with CG CWG.
Car was clayed about 6 months prior so it did not have very much bonded contaminanats.
As many of you know, it is rather difficult to photograph defects in silver paint.
These are some shots of the rear wing 50/50.Top of photo is the polished side, bottom is not.
Left Side is Polished.
Head Lights and Tail Lights were corrected as well.
