The Fenix TK35 was extremely helpful detecting paint imperfections
Prep – Clear film removal/Wheels/Tires/Decon/Autoscrub/Wash
Clear film was on the car since 2001 – it needed to be removed, it’s job was done. (we used 7 cans of 3m adhesive remover on this job!)
Sonax Full Effect used to clean up the wheels
All Purpose used on the tires
Some agitation with a brush and we are pulling some dirt/grime/brake dust off the tires
Wheel wells getting hit with APC
Rinse
Wolf’s Decon Gel
After we rinsed down the Decon Gel we moved on to pre soak with snow foam
Car was washed traditionally – 2 bucket method and we move on to NanoSkin Autoscrub
After the wash here is what the car looked like it almost appears if the car was sand blasted with zero gloss!
if you look closely you will see some marring left by the NanoSkin Autoscrub – Porsche paint = soft
