Hi all! I've got a ton of details to post up and I'll start with this one 
!
So here's a little different detail for you all other than those boring Ferraris. This guy found me on the internet, but when I arrived and he saw the Ferrari hat that I was wearing it clicked and we both recognized each other... he's in the process of buying a bianco Ferrari California, which we'll most likely be wrapping in matte white... sickenss. Anyway, his car needed a lotta luvin, as it hadn't seen a drop of wax since its birthday and really hadn't been cared for the way it should have been. The main reason he called me though was because some calcium deposits had seeped out of the concrete ceiling in his garage and dripped onto the car and needed to be removed. It actually dripped in 2 different places but I only got a shot of the second and less "horrifying" one. These were removed with 20% vinegar and a MF. The first "drip" marred the paint and had to be compounded out after removing the initial deposits. The entire car was polished with a Wolf's WP-3G and a finishing pad, though some places had to be compounded with a cutting pad and Wolf's WP-6G and then refined with a finishing pad and WP-1G. Here's the pics >>
Dirty little boy...
Dingy leather... Cleaned with a 1:20 dilution of WT-1N "The Insider" APC and then treated with WL-1N leather conditioner "The Revival"
Engine compartment lacking... cleanliness? And full of "exotics" (bugs).
The grill was rather mucky too...
...but a through cleaning with Wolf's Nano Wheel Cleaner "Clean & Coat" (I also use it for grills and other metal parts) everything looks great. I sprayed the grill and brushed out each little nook and cranny with a detail dash brush then rinsed it clean... the nano sealant stays behind (notice the water beading...)
The untreated side...
Finished and blown dry with a mini-blower...
Some bug damage that I couldn't remove with a gentle wash, which were later soaked in Wolf's WT-1N APC (1:4) and gently scrubbed with a mesh wash sponge. The remainder was polished out.
I know they're hard to see, but here's some pictures of the swirls.
A bit better...
Hazy lamps...
Managed to catch some of the damage with natural light!
I really get pressed for time when doing these cars, so hunting for the proper light, waiting for the moon and stars to align, etc. so I can take a picture isn't really that important... I snap a couple of wAll cleared up after a 2-stage polishing and some patience...
At the end of day 1 I marked all the areas that still needed my attention, that way I don't have to scratch my head the next day...
On day 2 the polishing was finished pretty early and the first coat of LSP, Wolf's Nano Paint Sealant "Body Wrap" was applied while I attended to the interior.
Some flavor-savers in the seats...
