    My process:
    • 'waterless wash'

      14-PhotoGrid_1440245531594_zpssgbfyr98.jpg
    • 3 stage decontamination process.
      1. Tar removal
      2. Clay
      3. Fallout
    • I polished, glazed and sealed the paint with an AIO via my Flex X1107 DA and a black pad.

    • And for added bling i waxed the paint.

    • The interior was next.
