    Client just picked up this 300C to ship off to his winter home and wanted it tidied up. Upon first inspection it didn't look too bad. Was I in for a surprise when I got my lights out.

    Engine and jambs cleaned with Autoglym Powermax3
    Foamed with a mixture of citrus cleaner and CG Maxisuds
    Washed with CG Maxisuds
    Inner fenders and tires cleaned with Autoglym Powermax 3. Wheels cleaned with diluted acid solution.
    Clayed with Claymagic Red. The amount of rail dust and fallout on this car was staggering.
    Polished with Menz SIP on Green CCS.
    LSP today was FMJ x2
    Widows cleaned with Autoglym Fast Glass
    Interior wiped down with Autoglym Interior Shampoo
    Seats cleaned & conditioned with Lexol
    Interior trim conditioned with Werkstat Satin Prot
    Tires dressed with Blue Dew tire dressing

    This was typical of the dirt found on the car. It was pretty clean.

    Interior was quite clean as well

    Scratches like this were all over the body. I doubt even compounding would have removed these.

    Great turn around, as well as capturing the swirls in the white.

    Haha looks like you in full force Vancouver winter?
