Here's the before pictures. the car wasn't too dirty since it had been recently washed. So i decided to wash with Citrus Wash N Gloss to remove any previous wax the car may have had. And i sprayed on P21s Gel and let it dwell for about 30 minutes. unfortunately the car had some kind of factory-installed sealant (teph-seal) that i was going to have to remove. and after the wash i went with my special yellow clay and CG Synthetic QD for lube to remove all the contaminants. for the car being so new, i was surprised that it was pretty contaminated! after agitating P21s Gel Before clay after clay before/after After polishing with 85RD Before/after of the exhaust. I decided to use #0000 steel wool and 1Z chrome Polish for this Before/after shots of each wheel. for this i used the Mother's Powerball and Mother's Billet polish, and followed that up with 1Z chrome Polish. then topped that all off with 2 layers of Swissvax Autobahn. Finished!!! Orange peel!!!!!! well i hope you all enjoyed that! i detail in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area. if you need any work done on your car, don't hesitate to ask! thanks for looking!

thanks guys. personally i like the brushed wheels over the black. the owner has the two colors to decide which he likes more.
Boy oh boy was that a nice car! I can`t believe how scratched up it was..you say it`s regularly maintained by a mobile guy..I hope you pointed out ALL those scratches to the owner...the mobile guy should be fired immediately! You did a very nice job on that gorgeous car..congrats!
