This machine comes in w/ 40k on the clock, very low for a 2002, it wasnt in bad shape, but at the same time it was well cared for either. Did a lot of extras on this to get it in the best condition I could before it goes up for sale. I scraped up the side skirt putting it on the lift to do the brakes and calipers so it was pulled off fixed and sprayed, several scratches and nicks were touched up, wet sanded, so here we go...

Wash/clay sponge
Wash/rinse
Chamois/purged crevices

Purple clean on engine/wheels/wells/tires

filled some scratches with factory match dupont, then wet sanded

Poli-seal @1500-1200 Megs polish pad

Looks great do you like the poliseal finishing down the 105?

very much so, it is now my go to on dark colors, definite on bmw's and MB, the 105 is a bit dusty, but does such a great job finishing down, it just needs a very light polish to remove some micro marks, topped with some good wax it seems to give a great finish
 
That is an awesome detail.

Where did you get those temporary paper matts?
 
Carbon black is a beautiful color, too bad it had the boring gray interior...cinnammon interior was a beautiful combo.

that would be true if it were black but it is blue, I think the Modina would be too much for blue, it should have the two tone black/grey interior
