Exterior before shots











Pre Wash - W99 - Iron X




This car was clean there were no iron deposits on it.
Rinse



Glass and Paint were clayed



Paint measured


The paint was a bit dull and we needed to bring the gloss back up and the metallic flakes to pop! We were able to achieve this by using Menzerna Super Intensive Polish followed by Menzerna PO85RD. I have found that einszett Glanz Wax brings out the metallic flake on a properly prepped car.

Take a look at some of the 50/50 shots



Afters
















Enjoy
