<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">So now on to the pictures.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">As the car arrived.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">This is after cleaning just two wheels.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Tarminator doing its thing.  With this much tar on the wheels I already know whats in store when it comes to the paint.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Wheels all cleaned up and looking much better.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Time to try out the new Lemon Scent Iron X. Looks like it found some more contamination.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">With the wheels all cleaned up its time to turn my attention to the motor.  I like to do the motor complete prior to washing so that any motor dressing that gets on the outer panels, front fenders or windshield will be washed off with the washing step. 


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">All cleaned up and dressed, looking like new.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Underside of the hood all shined up with Mothers Spray Wax.  Makes short work of it along with door jams.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"> 


 


 


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"> 


<span style="font-size:medium;"> 


 


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"> 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"> 


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"> 
 
<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"> 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Time to start the decon of the paint. A foam soak to loosen things up.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Yep sure enough more tar, even on the rear license plate.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">After the decon the paint was as expected swirls, scratches and bug etchings.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Starting the correction process with Dewalt 849 X and M100.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"> 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Let’s not forget the tail lights.  It makes a big difference in the overall look, just like dressing the wheel wells.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Finished compounding and polishing with M100 and Reflect. No LSP yet.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Chrome all taped off ready to be polished with Mothers chrome polish. See the grey crud in the corners.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Well if you’ve been with me this far, might as well move on to the interior.


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"> 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">All cleaned up and dressed with OPT leather protectant.

<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">Sun was almost down by the time I finished.  I think it came out pretty nice. The owners were more than happy.


 


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">


<span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:calibri;">

<span style="font-size:14px;"> How on earth did you get your engine to glow like that? 


 


I've used spray-on degreasers but they do not remove road dust. Mine looks pretty decent, but not as sweet as yours.

lol thank you that's a great pic. Combination of APC and multiple brushes. The EZ detail brushes, large and small are very good for cleaning engines not just wheels. For a dressing I mostly use Sonus Motor Kote. You use very little and it dries dry not greasy like a tire dressing.
