Had some fun with this one. Full decon on the exterior, quickie interior. Vinyl lettering removal. P.S. I'm looking for suggestions on adhesive removal for the next time.

Looks like it was parked under some pine trees for a while. Plenty of dirt and grime inside, too.

Nice turnaround! That was pretty dirty.

Great job! How long did it take you? That's a lot of area, both inside and out...

 

[Scott@IncrediblyDetailed]

Great job.

Thanks all.

I reallllly took my time with this one, had about a full day plus a couple hours the next morning.

Yeah what a difference!

Great job! I know you put some hours into that one.

To me these are the best show n shines. Exotics,...you can have 'em.

Daily Drivers beat to heck,...that's the turnaround.

What'd you use to remove the adhesive? I normally use 3M General Purpose Adhesive Cleaner.

Thanks! This is definitely my favorite kind of detail - one that anybody can appreciate.

Everything from Acetone to heat gun; there was a good bit of moisture in the air, perhaps that hindered the results. I'll have to give the 3M cleaner a try.

Great job! I'm sure that was a joy to see the results at the end! Keep up the good work.

What did you use for your decontamination process for the pine tree sap, etc?

Thanks, it was nice to sit down and review the pictures side-by-side.

As far as decon, the first wash (of three) was a hybrid of high lubricity soap and degreaser which really cut through everything. A second wash with Zymol soap to pick up any missed spots. Medium clay afterwards (I could have gone with a less aggressive...)
