    Ron and I detailed this 430 Spyder yesterday plus did some small touch up work on the front bumper and then we had a clear bra installed to protect the bumper from further damage.

    Our leveling process was a combination of Meguiars 105 and a new Optimum mixture (beta) worked with a Lake Country white pad. Looking back as the day wore on we should have just leveled with a wool pad first then worked back to a LC white.

    Optimum Polish with a green pad, FPII with a black finishing pad.

    It was finished off with Ron applying Victoria's soon to be released beta paste wax......it's name, I have no idea.

    Wheels were cleaned and spray waxed, tires dressed with Opti-Bond using a Wagner gun.

    Ron tackled the engine and did a great job polishing out the exhaust tank using a combo of Rolite and English Custom.

    Interior was cleaned and dressed and was actually pretty clean except for they drive with the top down a lot (of course....who wouldn't with such a fine car??) so it had a good amount of grime in nooks and crannies. The owner tells us that he had never had it detailed since new (it's an 06) but someone, somewhere, left this behind........

    Rear diffuser area....man this area gets nasty (The car when finished was very red but the pictures came out orange.....obviously need to adjust something).

    It was cleaned, dressed with Optimum Protectant + and the pipes were cleaned with Rolite metal polish.

    After 7 hours........a great deal of this time was spent laughing it up between Ron and I and our buddies there to install the bumper film...........we were very proud to hand the keys back over to the owner with these results.
