What did you use for products on the Maser?

[Malek@MRF]

A variety of Chemical Guys, Menzerna, Meguiars products. Whatever is needed for the car, it is used.

The was was CG CWG via foam cannon and Karcher PW.
The wheels were a custom 1:3 ratio of CG CWG in a spray bottle with EZ detail brush, and Swissvax wheel brushes. A soft tire scrubber was used for the tires to remove the gunk.

CG Grime Reaper used on wheel wells and agitiated with a bristle brush to break down the dirt and get into the poures of the plastic to bring back the clean look. The Maser has carpeted floor mats so following with a plastic protectant was not necessary.

0000 steel wool on exhaust tips, followed with 3000 grit sand paper and machine polishing, and power ball attatchment for the inside of the tips.

Sonus Clay Bar for the paint.

ONR diluted as a clay lubricant.

The paint was not full of swirls and damage, but it had minor hazing and spiderwebbing which was followed up with Meguiars Speed Glaze.

FinishKare 2180 Polymer Sealant to seal the paint after polishing, and previously followed up with alcohol wipe-down.

Topped with FinishKare 1000p Wax X2 layers. I love this wax for lighter colors. Brings out tremendous pop on the lighter metallic colors, and does wonders on white.

The interior was completed with various detailed brush's and soft bristle leather brushes.

CG leather cleaner, followed up with Zaino leather conditioner. The dash is leather too, so the same treatment was given to those area's. The instrument cluster was treated with Plexus plastic polish, along with the navigation screen. The wood was given a hand treatment of P21S carnuba wax to bring back its original luster. Fortunately the wood was not scratched up or swirled.

The carpets were washed with a custom wash I made and dried with a Craftsman Shop Vac and allowed to dry. Carpets agitated with a bristle brush and pressure washed to rinse out. Rubber Floor mats were also washed and agitated with a brush and wiped down. Followed up with a VERY VERY LIGHT coating of plastic/rubber protectant (FK 108 Top Kote).

Tires were treated with a foam applicated and FK108 Top Kote. Wheels were polished by hand and sealed. The wheel finish on the Maserati are very sensitive, so no aggresive technique was used on them, it was meticulously done by hand.

Feel free to ask any questions! I am here to help and offer my services to everyone who needs or wants them!

Far too long I have been asked to detail cars, and I finally gave in I am doing it now!
