A customer brought this by wanting it cleaned up. I did not realize at first that this car was this low of mileage because the paint sure told a different story. After looking at the windsheild for his next oil change, I noticed it said 21000 miles..... Odometer said 19300! I was floored, because the paint was so bad.



Procedure:

Foam wash w/ dawn

Top Cleaned with Ragg top cleaner then coated with 303 Fabric Guard

Wheels and tires cleaned with Eagle 1 A2Z Cleaner, then sealed with Zaino AIO

Paint was cleaned with M105 on a surbuf pad followed by 205 with tangerine pad

Waxed with Poor Boys Natty's blue

Seats were cleaned with Meguiars Leather cleaner/conditioner and interior with Quik interior spray.



Here it is as it was delivered to me:

Dawn wash to remove contaminants:

Under the lights after doing a test spot of m105/surbuf followed by 205/tangerine:

The whole hood under the lights is disgusting:

very nice. I'm guessing drive it 500 miles, go to autowash center with the full on 'brush me to death' feature; repeat.

The after pictures are amazing! :) the hood in garage picture looks like the car is frowning to me?
