This was my customers daily driver that's in great mechanical shape however the paint was another story. At pickup the car looked cleaned but after further inspection at the shop I noticed a ton of sap on the car as its parked outside under a tree. Sap was on the paint as well as all over the windows. Let's say we threw out a the clay bar after this one. The car has never been properly polished in its 11 years on the road. So I went at this one with
Power Gloss,
PO203, and finished with
PO85RD, since I haven't been giving Lusso any love lately I decided to finish off with it on this detail and I was very very happy with the results.
As for the interior it was in great shape, a vac, and interior wipe down with the usually got it looking clean again.
As for the engine that was another story,
P21S Total Autowash was used to clean it up and
Black Wow and
Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care was used to treat the rubber.
