              No, I've interviewed this guy long enough to know he is a true car nut, and therefore, worthy of a lengthy detail
              He also has a black Viper, and a black Ford GT that I should be taking care of in the near future as well.

                  Well, not sure what you can do on the vehicles I have coming up. We'll keep in contact, and see what happens. Need to get you more familiar with the machines, so you can do more

                    looks great Nick, I think I might clean the insides of my wheels too.

                    Do you think Hot Rims Alll wheel Cleaner would be strong enough for that kind of work?

                    followed up by claying and NXT 2.0 of course.

                        Really depends on how far gone they are. Like I said earlier, APC+ and a little soap and water usually always works for me. They just let this car go for a while, and it needed something that could sit on it for a long period. A gel type product was the answer for this car. No different than paint, not everything works the same on every vehicle

                          Interior was 40 applied with a microfiber applicator pad, then wiped down with a microfiber towel to remove the excess product.

                          Leather was treated with Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditioner from the D line of products.

                          Mats were shampooed using a carpet cleaner, and the rest was vacuumed.

                          Glass was cleaned with Sprayway glass cleaner.

                          Exterior was washed with SuperSoap frome the D line of products. Then topped with BlackFire paste wax.

                          Tires were dressed with Hyper Dressing from the D line, mixed at 4:1

                          I think thats it
