This was a referral from another detailer (dirtdiggler on autopia). The owner takes meticulous care of the car and it's easy to see. Unfortunately as is all too common, I suspect improper wash techniques as contributing to the swirls in the paint. He's anxious to learn proper care techniques so I've hooked him up with some how-tos and suggested good products to use. Besides the swirls a few rock chips were the only flaws in the car. Look closely at the engine bay pictures, you'll see why this is such a mean Z06!
Below are some befores of the exterior, as you see, swirls and holograms.
Optimum Power Clean on the tires and wheel wells. P21s gel on the wheels themselves and EZ detail and EZ detail mini brush along with a boars hair wheel brush and swissvax brush took care of these.
The owner only wanted a quick interior but the leather looked slightly dry so I decided to give my Leatherique kit a go. Leatherique Rejuvenator Oil being absorbed into the the thirsty seats below
The entire body was foamed with a mix of Meguiars APC and Chemical Guys Citrus wash and allowed to dwell for 5-6 minutes before being rinsed off. The entire car was then washed via Todd Cooperider's 2x4 wash technique with CGCW.
The interior need a vacuum and wipe down, not much more
Ready for surgery...
Some afters. Unfortunately the sun had disappeared
I was able to achieve ~85% - 90% correction in 9 hrs which I along with client was thrilled about. The lsp of choice was Wolfgang Fusion.
All polished up with Optimum Metal Polish
The Rejuvenator Oil had 6 hard fought hours with the rock hard clear to work its magic on the car and my pocket thermometer said it reached 85 degrees inside which was great! Heat helps the Oil do its magic better IMO.
The engine all wiped down and lookin sexy! Can you spy the surprise I talked about at the beginning?
