Lets take a quick look at the car!
A lot of brake dust!



BAD water spots from sprinkler system.







It has been a while since the interior was worked on



Start with the wheels with our engine and wheel cleaner



ACE TurboStick makes it so much easier to clean the inside


A little enginee wheel cleaner on the front to help take off the dead bugs (don't let it sit for too long)


Rinse and foam!




Give it a good clay job with our medium grade clay bar. Not too bad on this one...




Silver Package only calls for G-2500 and G-3500. But because of the water spots, we decided to prime the pad with G-2500, but add a bit of G-1500 to give it some extra bits and it worked out very nicely.



Did a quick pass with G-2500 to make sure no holograming or maring left by the G-1500.


Here is a back to back before/after. First is after wash and clay, but before polish. Second and third are after polishing.




Wheels all done!



No more water spots on glass!


Couple of interior shots...




Some more after pics...











Under the sun!



Thansk for looking!
