Prep -

Wheels were cleaned with Sonax Full Effect Wheel Cleaner, once the wheel cleaner indicated red we were ready to brush them down with the Auto Finesse Hog Hair Brushes as well as the Wheel Woolies.






APC was sprayed on the tires and then brushed. Tires were cleaned for dressing in the final stage of the detail






The car was then foamed with Adam's Car Wash and washed down.

Various detail brushes were used to clean grills and various tight areas.

Final rinse.


Nanoskin Wash Mitt wash used in conjunction with the clay bar.



Metro Vac Sidekick used to dry off the crevices and blow out the wheels.



Uber Super Drying Towel used to dry out the bigger body panels.


Paint Correction

Rupes LHR21 with the 5 inch bp used to polish out the paint prior to Opti Coat.











Xpel Ultimate installation - full hood, full bumper, full fenders, mirrors, door cups, side skirts




Afters - unfortunately when we took the afters it was dark and wet outside.

Fantabulous job!

Love those centerlock wheels (even though they're black).

Feeling the urge to go after my car again. I forget how awesome it is to walk out to a car with nice deep paint. Looks great!
