After popping a boostpipe coming from Emperors Palace ( 200km trip for me ) , the car stood for a full week without driving as I was LOADED with work. The car was in a horrible state and I knew that when I get it up and running again it would need some love. Here is pics to give you an idea how bad it was.

Interior
I decided to take my day off, 26 December to clean it up. I started with the interior vacuum , wipe and care for the dash aswell as the leather.
After
Up next I moved to the outside of the vehicle. I started off by washing it properly to inspect the damage of standing 1 week in the rain. Sad to say , the roof was covered with waterspots and the boot was full of contaminents ( most probably the soot causing this ). I started of by spraying the whole car with IronX and thoroughly rinsed it off afterwards. Got out my clay bar and set out to clay the whole car. Contamination wasn't much compared to my other cars that I had clayed in the past , but after each panel that I clayed I felt the smoothness compared to an unclayed pannel and WOW :drool: After claying I got the polisher out and started polishing. The car wasn't in a bad shape at all so I opted for Menz PF2500 instead of FG400 , coupled with yellow cutting pads. After this I moved to green polishing pads and SF4000 again going over the whole car. I finished it off with my white finishing pads and Menz PL wax. Left it to haze and then wiped off. The results ..... Well they speak for themselves. As for the feeling of the paint , I can not describe it in words.
