2001Saab 9-5

[MshawnBauer]

This car I purchased as a work car a few years back and was an 01 with 65k miles. 1 owner, very well maintained (mechanically). I bought it, removed the pin stripe, clay bar'd, buffed it out with the Zaino ZPC, then commenced the Zaino Regimen (Z2, Z5pro) then topped with a good carnuaba (to add the depth I lacked with Zaino). The interior required nothing thanks to senior citizen previous owners. I'm not even certain anyone was ever in the back seat.

That car looks awesome. The paint has a deep wet look to it. Excellent work

Looks like a different car! Nice work!

Car looks showroom! Great job!

(Side note, what are we looking at in picture 4 below the passenger side view mirror? Heavy swirling? Scratches/marring? CC failure?)

Great work!

Thanks! I think removing the pin stripe did a lot! I didn't keep it too long, the turbo lag was awful and it was a "just after GM" purchased Saab and it was starting to nickle and dime me to death, lol

Heavy swirling, I initially thought more, but she polished out. I wish I would have had my Rupes 21 when I did this one.

Hey that's good work!! I agree with the other comment, it doesn't look like the same car...

Inside detail looks great also...

Great work. I was a big Saab fan, have owned three of the 900 series over the years. After GM ownership it all went downhill. Probably a good decision to sell it on.
