This gorgeous car began its journey with the interior. With the steam cleaner, I got into as many tight spaces with it as possible. I was dealing with the type of client that you need to look for the dirt (not a bad thing).

I used Griot’s Garage 3-in-1 leather for most of the interior. It worked beautifully for this interior for sure.



Can you tell which door got the treatment?

Finished Interior:











—



For the exterior I started off with an intensive hand wash including Iron X for the wheels as well as traditional clay for the paint in the using spots—only where it was really needed.

After the car was dried off, I began my test spot. The winner?

CarPro Essence with Meguiar’s Finishing Disc. I completed the paint with CarPro Reload.

All-in-All another car with The Buffing Moose treatment and another “Love It” client!

You tell me, how did I finish off?







The last photo was taking at a nearby park, just because I couldn’t help myself.

Thanks for viewing.

Nice work Dan! Nice write-up!

Coming from the Car Detailing forum master...I’ll gladly take those encouraging words from you Mike.

Thank you both! I am not to write-up something. But I feel that I am starting to develop my own style. It needs to start somewhere right?!
