    Well guys...one of my favorite cars on the road.

    And fortunately my customer had one before switching into a new California. I know what you're thinking, "Why?!" Well he wasn't driving the 599 as much as he would like because it was not practical and comfortable enough to drive regularly. He got the California a couple months ago and it's already been driven more than the 599 the whole time he had it AND even seen the rain a bunch of times! :applause: (following write-up on that soon)

    The car actually came in very good shape considering all the horror stories we hear about the factory paint issues (swirls, sanding marks, etc.) There was none of these, not sure how but there wasn't. Can't say the same for the new black California. :doh:

    There are no befores. Sorry but I took care of it since day one so it literally was never dirty but I just wanted to share some of my work and this awesome machine.

    My process

    Products used:
    Interior
    - Interior carpets, dash, vents, nooks and crannies blown out with compressed air
    - Vacuum out while dusting dash with brush
    - Very Light dilution OPC on dash plastics
    - Prestine Clean on leather (seats, top of dash, door panels)
    - ONR light dilution interior windows
    - Optiseal on carbon fiber interior bits

    Exterior
    - Wheels cleaned with ONR ....Carbon Ceramic brakes = no harsh cleaners, but barely any brake dust
    - Raceglaze brush set
    - Raceglaze XL - thank god for this, the brakes are huge!
    - Wheel wells/tires cleaned with OPC
    - Rinsed with nomad sprayer
    - ONR wash
    - ONR in door jams
    - Clay with yellow clay with ONR clay lube
    - Polished with PC, Green Uber pad, and M205
    - IPA wipedown
    - LSP - 2 coats Wolfgang Fuzion via hand applicator
    - Optiseal on wheels and exterior glass
    - Light mist of Aquawax on windows to help buff off any residue from Optiseal
    - Pro Blue Ice on tires
    - Optimum Metal Polish and #0000 Steel wool on exhaust

    Engine

    Don't worry, a MF was placed under the chord as to not scratch or rub on the paint

    Optiseal really makes the wheels glossy

    Raceglaze XL fit in between the mammoth front brake setup prefect.
