I had polished this clients S65 and F430 over 18 months ago.

He told me that he had taken the S65 to a local hack shop in town, but as you can see it was a waste of $300.

As soon as I arrived on scene and inspected the paint, I called Bret in on the job. I knew we where in for a full day of fun.
















Interior-The clients interiors are always in pretty good condition.

The interior received the following:

Vac-Bret always spends plenty of time making sure every bit of debris is removed from the carpet. He uses brushes and compressed air while vacuuming.



All leather surfaces (a lot of leather in this interior) where cleaned with Z9 and conditioned with Z10. The client is a Z10 junky, he just loves the smell.

All wood surfaces are hand polished with ZAIO.

Glass cleaned to perfection with IG and a quality WW.

The alcantara headliner was wiped down with a damp short nap MF.







QEW wash.
Straight IPA wipedown x3 to remove whatever the little shop of hacks used on the paint.
Clayed with Zaino clay and Z6 as a lube.

Bret and I returned a few weeks later. I did a new car prep on his DBS (coming soon) while Bret cleaned up his V-Rod (coming soon.) Bret then washed the S65, applied Z8 to the paint and Z-16 to the tires.

Finally some sun pics of the S65.

 

What a perfect collection of cars. The 65 is the perfect daily, IMO. Can't imagine the torque coming from that V12!

Great detail job and definitely post up some info on the DBS!

 

AMAZING JOB! Everyone buys black benzes (I agree they look amazing), but no one ever takes care of them and they become swirl city! That DBS is so player. What a perfect combo of cars.

 

Great job guys what a beautiful pair of whips.

 

Beautiful job!! The steering wheel looks like the airbag has been deployed before?? Hopefully that's not stock gap.

 

I.Love.The.S65!

 

It must be an insane ride on the freeway. DBS coming soon along with the F430 writeup.

Thank you!

Thanks gk!

Thanks TC! I'll have a closer look when we go back.

Me too!

 

Excellent job!!! What does a job of that nature run for the same car and same condition?

 

Thank you vyper340. Sent you a PM.
