    This vehicle belonged to one of my regular customers who does a pretty good job of maintaining his vehicle in between details. His main concern this time was a heavy accumulation of iron particles and other contaminants embedded in the paint, especially the rear hatch. After discussing a couple of options he decided to go with my protection package and no correction since he plans on selling the vehicle in the future.

    Process:
    Wheels, tires and exhaust tips cleaned with OPC 3:1
    Washed with Duragloss 902
    Decontaminated with Iron-x
    Clayed with a Nanoskin fine grade wash mitt
    Dried via air and microfiber waffle weave towels
    Wiped down with CarPro eraser
    Sealed with Menzerna Powerlock

    My OCD got the best of me and I had to polish the scratched out pillars

    Very nice, love the detail, but in the future, offer him a coating job. More $$$ for you and superior protection for the client. A win win!
