Current client of mine just picked this up. Wanted it protected and corrected. Pretty much all of the paintwork has been covered with PPF. Not much correction going to be going on…
Cleaned up the PPF and prepped it for coating, dialed in the wheels/tires/calipers/glass and interior and she is ready to hit the streets!


The ‘details’:

2BW w/Adam’s shampoo.
McKee’s37 APC on wheel wells, heavy dirt areas on body.
P21S wheel gel.
Misc. brushes/etc for wheels.
Adam’s tire and rubber cleaner.
McKee’s37 Hydro-blue to seal wheels/calipers.
Master Blaster to dry.
Rupes MkIII 15.
Rupes iBrid.
Black finishing pads.
McKee’s37 paint coating prep polish.
Mics. MF towels.
22ple Mistico Elemento Forte, LSP.
HD Dress for tire dressing.
McKee’s37 glass cleaner.
Metro vaccum.
McKee’s AIO leather cleaner/conditioner.

Question... if the car was wrapped, how did you get that scuff out? Did you polish with the Rupes?

^^^^Yes, with some PPF it is possible to lightly polish it to remove some scuffs/marks/marring. I did use the Rupes and a finishing pad.

It would be so good to be one of your neighbors just to check out your driveway from time to time. Great looking work!

I won't even ask how happy the owner was when he picked it up. LOL! Great work, as always, Scott!
