    I had the pleasure to detail a 1985 Maserati Quattroporte. Full exterior and interior detail. We corrected the paint where we could, the only trouble spot was the paint around around the rear window, and the painted area on the c-pillar near the roof (chipped clear, thin clear heavy and deep scratches. The rest of the panels were easy to correct.

    For the Exterior the paint work was degreased using Optimums Power Clean. each panel was degreased and rinse immediately after. Then the car was washed using a mixture of Adam's car wash and Optimums No Rinse. The wheels were cleaned using various brushes and P21S Wheel Gel Cleaner. Tires were cleaned and scrubbed using Optimums Power Clean also. Next the car was brough into the garage and the paint work and windows were clayed using Pinnacles Poly Clay and Optimum's No Rinse + water solution as clay lube. The entire car was then Washed to remove any clay residue. The paint now was ready for polishing. Taped off all trim using 3M's green masking tape.

    The winning combo, Menzerna's Super Intensive Polish + Lake Country Hydro-Tech Orange Polish Pad + Flex Rotary Polisher. This combo corrected the paint and finished down very nicely, as you can see in the halogen light reflection, all the swirls, haze and marring were removed.

    The car was then wiped down with an alcohol+water solution to remove all polishing residue. Exhaust tips were then polished, along with all the chrome trim.

    Lastly, the paint work was protected with a layer of Chemical Guys Pete's 53 Paste Wax. Tires and black trim were dressed with Adam's VRT.


    Interior was vacuumed of all loose debris, carpets were pulled to scrub with 303 carpet and upholstery cleaner + porter cable brush attachment. The leather components were all cleaned and treated with both Leatherique and Leather Masters Products.
