It's been awhile since I've done a car.
What better way to get back to it than this beauty?
This car was done for National Speed, they installed the following:
-20'' HRE 565R's
-Dunlop Sport Maxx tires
-Milltek Turboback Exhaust
-GIAC Custom Tune
They gave me a call to get it looking right before it was delivered to the customer.
Overall it wasn't too bad, heavy dust and some general usage was apparent on the interior.
An Interior and Exterior Protection Detail was agreed upon yesterday.
Products Used:
-Duragloss 901 Car Wash Concentrate
-Meguiar's APC+ 4:1
-1z Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care
-1z Einszett Glanz Auto Wash
-1z Einszett Cockpit Premium
-Invisible Glass
-Menzerna PowerLock

The exterior was given a rinse and washed. The new wheels were pretty clean to begin with, and given their polished lip, the only thing used on them was Duragloss 901. The car was then rinsed with free-flowing water and dried with a couple Meguiar's Water Magnets. After the car was dry, a thin coat of Menzerna PowerLock was applied via the Porter-Cable. After it hazed it was removed by microfiber to reveal a brilliant, deep luster.
The incredible Alcantara/Suede interior was given a thorough vacuum. All panels were cleaned and dressed with Cockpit Premium... no shine, lust clean and brand new looking, very fitting for this 2007 with less than 14k on the clock! The windows had just been tinted, so no glass cleaning was needed.
Total time spent was around 2 1/2 hours, which left this supercar looking like this...
