Default Paint Correction / Basic Detail...

Basic detail with attention primarily to the leather/door panels and paint. Paint had some minor marring with etched in water markings. From 10ft away or so the finish looked as good as ever.... but the LED told a different story.

M105 followed with M205 before being topped with a layer of glaze and finishing with Griot's Garage show car wax. I tried to get away with just a light polish but in the end I had to compound to produce any real results.

The door panels were severely neglected or treated improperly; one of the two. I actually used leather conditioner on the panels and dash since they are more 'leather-esque' material than they are plastic.
