Wow!

That doesn't even look like the same car!

Here is a breakdown of the time put into the car up to this point. Some interior work is still incomplete though. I think its time to invest in a rotarty buffer now too.


-8 hours on all 4 wheels
-3 hours to wash twice preceeding claying
-6 hours to clay
-2 hours to rewash and dry
-1 1/2 hours to tape the car off
-15+ hours of buffing
-2 hours spend on floormats
-1 hour on inside of windows
-2 hours polishing outside of windows
-2 hours cleaning front leather / dash / console
-2 hours rewashing car after buffing then drying
-2 hours applying 2 coats of zaino
-1/2 hour detail spray
-15 min tires
-then lots of pics


Here are more pics for ya:

and here is a quick reminder BEFORE:



Here is what it looks like now!
