    Recently completed, this gorgeous Grand Sport in Torch Red ....................the owner takes very good care of the car however a change in wash media and wipedown procedures will prevent some of the general marring and RIDS this car had.

    In addition to the correction the car was coated on the finish, wheels, calipers and wheel well shrouds.

    At the beginning, the general condition was not bad, however arch shaped deep scratches along with the very hard paint had the job going for awhile.


    It was hard to capture some of the deeper scratches, 50/50 on the trunk.

    Entire braking assembly cleaned, and rust removed so the wheel fit hub-centrically once again.

    Wheels were cleaned a little bit during the wash, time to really dial them in for "Cleaness status".


    [​IMG]


    Making improvements.


    [​IMG]


    Re-mounted wheels polished, barrels coated previously then allowed to cure for a time before mounting. Then face of wheel coated.


    [​IMG]


    Tips needed just a little polishing, polished on the left.


    [​IMG]


    Vehicle now coated the evening before, left to cure for 12 hours minimum before resuming completion of the detail.


    [​IMG]


    Coming together nicely.

    Billet grill fine polished.


    [​IMG]


    With the interior cleaness.

    Trim and jambs free of polishing dust, the obvious and the little details attended too.
