This luxurious rocket came in to me for a little clean-up/TLC. The paint was very rough, had swirls, water spots, some scratches and scuffs and in general needed a caring hand to get it looking as it should!

This was a ‘quick turnaround’ job. My client needed his vehicle back quickly, so I only had 1.5 days to work on it.

Washed with Adam’s shampoo.
Wheels cleaned with Adam’s wheel cleaner.

[CalSun Detail]

What was used on metal guard on door jambs?

[Paul A.]

Absolutely stunning once again, Scott!

[Rsurfer]

Awesome job. Any previous experience with Adams coating?

[Sizzle Chest]

Thanks everyone!

CalSun: adhesive remover.

Rsurfer: Yep, used them before. A good 'entry' level coating. Easy to use, good looks, and I've seen about a year durability with his older version.

I used it on this due to time constraints and what my client wanted. I didn't have to IR bake it or really wait a long period of time before removal. It flashes quickly.
