2012 Lotus Exige S Matte Finish Detail
Quick new car prep for a Matte Black Exige S, different techniques needed to be applied as this finish doing any polishing is a no no........... . The factory has put on a "Rubber infused finish and actually recommends using "Armour All" so as I did not want to chase streaking all day I did not use "Silicons" in a bottle and used my dressing which worked really nice.
Dirty wheels and car.
Getting started with a careful wash, Sonax FE applied to the matte finish wheels (Conventional matte paint not rubber infused).
Trim was not looking it's best.
Crud on the trim cleaned away.
Much better.
Even though I could not polish I was getting a 50/50 pic ..................
Entire wing now even with a deep satin look.
Quick interior pic, needed little and thank goodness as getting into this car..........................."Fat guy in a little coat.............".
Even though he was obscured........Jeff from "Immaculate Reflections" helped me on the RS4(Which was HAMMERED!!)write to follow "With the quickness".
