Here is my 13 hours work with before /after pictures
- soft top , detergent clean and add water repelent when dry
- engine detail - exhaust polished and wipe down engine bay
- interior wipe down , leather clean and condition on back wall , seats , doors , dash , uv protection added
- clean wheels and add wax / tire dressing
- exterior paint correction with multiple steps and sealed when completed

Enjoy

Initial condition: water spots , dirt , swirls , scratches , holograms marks













the soft top had some stain /dirt that require some brush and deep cleaning, no pic after. but it was clean and treated.

Incredible!

What was the polishing process? Did you use only the DA that can be seen in pics, or was there a rotary involved?
