    After the previous Saab 9-5 Aero (Hirsch) which was detailed by myself, the owner son couldnt wait any longer to have his done. I had inspected this car previously and knew it needed more work and the owner wanted more done to it (regarding removal or rear badges/stickers). Ill let the pics do the talking:

    Here is the video i made for the detail:

    Interior Detail comprising of dry hoovering, shampooing and scrubbing, steam cleaning, deodorizing and protected with Gtechniq I1 for the fabric. The leather interior was steam cleaned, then protected with Gtechniq L1. The interior trim was also steam cleaned and treated with Swissvax Quick Interior Finish and the interior glass was cleaned with Dodo Juice Clearly Menthol. The boot also had the dog hair removed.

    Engine bay detail, treated with APC, aggregated with a brush then pressure washed. The rubbers were treated to Chemical Guys Silk Shine Trim Dressing and I machine polished the painted areas and protected with Gtechniq C2v3:

    Exterior paintwork was protected using Gtechniq Exo, because of the nature of the product and safety I was looking like this lol:

    Took a panel temp reading to ensure Exo could be used:

    The exterior paintwork and alloys were protected with Gtechniq Exo, the exterior glass treated with Gtechniq C2v2 (as intending on restoring the glass in the future and removing wiper scratching an applying G1), the rear bumper trim was treated with Dodo Juice Supernatural Gloss Trim Sealant, the other exterior trim was treated with Swissvax Nano Express. The exhaust was treated with Gtechniq M1 and tyres with Gtechniq T1.

    This is the finished results:
