Some final pics the next day before I returned the car to the client. It had rained the night before and was still cloudy. :(

Bret using the Meguiars G110v2 with surbuf/M105: So besides for the panels that where wetsanded, all panels got: Surbuf/M105 Orange/M205 Black/M205 Re-washed with Zaino Z7 via 2BM/sheepskin mits Dried with electric leaf blower. Remaining water removed by spritzing Z6 and drying with big blue WW. 2x of Zaino ZFX'd Z5pro Z8 Tires got Zaino Z-16 Yes its 11:45p

After extracting each section I set up air movers/fans to dry the carpet as quickly as possbile. I would let the fans run thru the nite to ensure the carpet was dry. I was fortunate that Bret could come by the next day to help finish up a few loose ends. Then it was all about polishing the paint after that. Here is Bret applying Zaino AIO to the wheels. I started on the trunk by wetsanding with trizact 3000 and my airsander. Surbuf/M105 Festool speed 5 Orange/M205/Festool Speed 5 Final polishing one handed with the festool/black/M205 Bret trying out the festool while final polishing: After final polishing: Rt door had some deeper RIDS, so 3k trizact w/ air sander:

Interior was not too bad to start with. Leather and all hard surfaces steamed with my VX5000. Leather treated with Zaino Z-10 All hard surfaces treated with 1Z einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care & Protectant "Tiefenpfleger." After a thorough vac, I pretreat all carpet and mats with ultra pac. After a light working in of the pretreat chemicals, by light I mean just brush them in lightly to the fibers in two directions. No need to scrubb. I filled my Mytee HP60 with Dry Slurry and water. Let it heat up for 15-20 mins while the pretreat chemicals where dwelling. I then purge the extracting tool into a bucket waiting for some very hot water to pass thru.
