kaisernaut · 07-17-2012, 01:21 PM

The customer was referred to me by Jeff Chang from Longo Scion. Special thanks to owner Sal Rodriguez, Jeff Chang, and Jay Jayasiri.

Arrival

Wheels were cleaned with Autofinesse Imperial wheel cleaner with wheel woolies

Vehicle was washed with Autofinesse Lather

The vehicle was clayed with Riccardo clay bay first then Iron particles was removed by Iron Cut and tar removed by Autofinesse Oblitarate, To more sure the car has 100% no more protection, Autobrite Wax Off-Wax Coating Removal was used.

Paint inspection was performed with PTG , LED lights, and Metal Halide light from Autobrite UK.

Wow. Well, Im guessing you have now learned the right way now? Too good looking of a car to not keep as pristine as possible. Congrats on a once again amazing looking car.:happy0180:
