So not everybody has to have a super car to afford to take car of there car like some think!!!! This Z4 was in pretty good condition lots of marring and your typical swirls. I started off cleaning the engine. I used Meg APC+ and various brushes to clean her up. I then gave the engine a foam bath and then protected with 303

Engine bay cleaned, next i moved onto the wheels. They were painted black and were horrible, they looked brown when i got there. I used P21s wheel gel and various brushes to clean them.

After the wheels were cleaned, I pre-rinsed the body and sprayed P21 Auto Wash to break down and previous wax. I then foamed the car down and gave it 2 bucket method wash

After the wash i brought the car back inside to clay. I used Zaino clay and DoDo juice born slippy, the paint was in pretty good condition overall.

I did the correction with D300 and this took care of everything, i just followed up with M205 and we were back in business

After the paint was finished I gave the interior a clean clean up and I applied Leatherique to the front seats. The owner had already purchased the Leatherique so i just applied it and he would remove at a later date.

We wasnt looking for perfection but to remove 70% and bring back some gloss. i think we accomplished that.
