Todays detail, not total paint correction (thank goodness) the paint was hard as stone, and the leather interior was ordinary.
Interior shots are just a blur as my phone has no flash, but there is one which shows how dirty they were on the left side and the cleaner side on the right.
I spent almost 5 hours on the interior alone and around 4 on the paint.
Interior had all the nooks and crannies blown out with compressed air and APC
Leather cleaned with magic erasures (eight of them) and APC
Zaino Leather Conditioner on the leather and 1z Cockpit Premium on the rest of the trim.
Paint was washed, clayed, Buffed with a rotary and white Wolfgang pad with Menzerna 106FF, then Black Wolfgang CCS pad on the RO with the same 106FF, finished off with Duragloss 105 and Aqua wax
Glass was polished and tyres got the Bold 'n Bright treatment after a bath with some acid cleaner.

Very nice as usual. What do you use to clean rag tops?
And what are your thoughts on the CCS pad? Do you have a dedicated shampoo/vacum? A man can do all things if he but wills them.

It's not the left side so it must be the right side JC.
(It's not custom painting-it's custom sanding) |

One more here for review of the CCS pads which I use.
I noticed you used the Black for final instead of the Blue. Mike

Yeah I use the black instead of the blue, maybe its just me but the black seems so much softer then the blue
Do you think I could get even better results if I use the blue.......... CCS pads????????? I had no problems with the old eurotech foam so for me there alright, but not overally exciting. They are certainly harder to clean then the old ones. All in all I prefer the old ones but since there not available anymore I will use the new ones with no complaints. Rag top was pretty good so just got brushed down. I have a Neumatic Vacuum (the ones with the smily faces) and a Kerrick Scup Shampoo Extraction Machine. |

Wow, what a difference on the back seat upholstery ( before/after pic)!
I didn't realize leather could get that dirty. |
