    This car was in need of a little TLC... The owner usually maintains the car on his own, however due to time restraints had not been able to devote time to working on his car.

    We gave it a complete exterior surface cleansing, decontamination, and protection; as well as a full Engine compartment detail. No interior work was done.

    -P21s TAW
    -1Z Blitz
    -1Z W99
    -1Z Windscreen
    -Sonax Full Effect
    -#0000 Steel Wool

    -Car Bath
    -Engine
    -Protecton
    -Seal Feed
    -Engine Shine
    -Paint Rubber (Yellow)
    -Quick Finish
    -Cleaner Fluid Medium via PC w/SV Black Gloss pad @6
    -Shield PTFE wax
    -Nano Express
    -Cleaner Fluid Regular
    -Autobahn PTFE Wax (Wheels)
    -Pneu Glossy
    -Waschpudel
    -Black Puck Applicator
    -Black wax applicator

    Onto the cleaning with P21s TAW and a Swissvax Detail brush to really get in the places a wash mitt doesn't.

    Around all the window seals

    Now let's make this paint look new again...

    We chose Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium, paired that up with the Porter Cable and a Swissvax Black Gloss pad to get the maximum gloss out of the paint, while still removing slight scratches and holograms!

    Sublime work Dom, another great Swissvax detail. Lovely S4, and really like the stonework on the drive. Classy.

    Looked pretty glossy before (hence the Cleaner Fluid)...but huge results...

    Goes to show you what a great detailer can do with an already good looking car.

    Great stuff Dom.
