I had the pleasure to work on this stunning machine last Saturday (been a bit busy this week). Every single piece of this vehicle is oozing with the finest materials and incredible engineering. I think part of the reason this "simple" detail took so long (5 hours) was because I was enjoying what I was working on.
The car is a 2007, detailed once by a previous detailer, and had about 3700 miles on it. The car was overall in good shape with a decent amount of soil. The current protection, or lack thereof, was non-existent. Squeaky clean and re-accumulated with bonded contaminants. I had to gently clay the entire car as I wasn't planning on polishing deeply. When all was said and done, the car was as new. My finals were:
Interior
- Folex to clean carpets
- Zaino Z9 to clean leather (no vinyl in this puppy
)
- Zaino Z10 to protect
- Zaino Z12 Plastic Polish on nav, radio, kick plates
- Zaino Z8 in jams
- Stoner's Invisible Glass on glass x 2
Before
After
*That's a V1 custom mounted and leather wrapped*
V1 in the mirror (also has a laser jammer, iPod adapter, and Sirius sat radio all aftermarket, all completely hidden)
Exterior
- Zaino Z7 Wash
- Zaino Z18 Clay with Z7 Wash as lube
- Zaino Z-AIO on clear bra, calipers
- Zaino Z-PC on tailpipes, followed by Z8
- Zaino Z5 Pro (ZFX) x 1 on all
- Zaino Z8 final wipedown

As you can see, the weather was lacking. Next time I'm there, I will pull 'er out for some sunny shots. This paint is absolutely unreal under sun. The only silver I've seen come close is off the MB SLR.
Cheers.
