2008 Quattroporte and 2012 GX460. We were originally supposed to do the owner's Maserati and his Ferrari F430 but since his wife was home sick with the flu, he had us detail the Lexus instead to surprise her. Fine by me, Ferrari was just going to be a wash and wax, Lexus was a full detail.
I'd detailed the Maserati about a year or so ago. Its obvious its a daily driver, interior had a lot of debris in it, wheels were absolutely black with brake dust and he certainly isn't shy about driving it in the rain. The GX460 is new, replaced their older one. It was in really good shape overall, paint was excellent. The Maserati could use a full correction but since he is happy with the way it looks after its polished and waxed and its a driver, he'd rather give that kind of attention to the F430.
Quattroporte:
ONR wash, Opti-Raser (pink) to clay
ONR and Optimum Power Clean @ 3:1 to clean the wheels
Optimum Hyper Polish using an Optimum MF cutting pad and my Meguiars G110 v2
Optimum Opti-Seal
ONR wash and wax @ 32:1 to clean glass
Armor All to dress tires/wheel wells
Woolite/water @ 20:1 to clean leather and vinyl
3D Carpet Shampoo @ 16:1 to clean the carpets and mats
Meguiars Interior QD to dress the vinyl
Duragloss #221 Leather Conditioner to treat the leather
LX460:
ONR wash, Opti-Raser Pink
Optimum G-P-S using an Optimum MF polishing pad and my G110 v2 <---only way we were finishing an unplanned SUV that day was a true one step
ONR wash and wax @ 32:1 to clean glass
Armor All to dress tires/wheel wells
3D Trim Protectant on all exterior trim
We did the interior as well (same steps as the Maserati), just forgot to take pics.
Not sure what that is at the front of the hood by the emblem (2nd pic), wasn't marring, maybe just some odd reflection. What little swirling is left is only apparent if you get right up on the paint.
Sorry these two are a touch blurry, shot them at 1/8th and 1/6th of a second respectively, without a tripod...
