Client just bought it less then a month ago when he contacted me.
He wanted full exterior correction, full interior with carpet extraction.

Interior was not too bad to start with.

Leather and all hard surfaces steamed with my VX5000.
Leather treated with Zaino Z-10.
All hard surfaces treated with 1Z einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care & Protectant "Tiefenpfleger."
After a thorough vac, I pretreat all carpet and mats with ultra pac. After a light working in of the pretreat chemicals, by light I mean just brush them in lightly to the fibers in two directions. No need to scrubb.
I filled my Mytee HP60 with Dry Slurry and water. Let it heat up for 15-20 mins while the pretreat chemicals where dwelling. I then purge the extracting tool into a bucket waiting for some very hot water to pass thru.

After extracting each section I set up air movers/fans to dry the carpet as quickly as possbile.

I would let the fans run thru the nite to ensure the carpet was dry.

I was fortunate that Bret could come by the next day to help finish up a few loose ends.
Then it was all about polishing the paint after that.
Here is Bret applying Zaino AIO to the wheels.
![](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/7465/img4044m.jpg)
I started on the trunk by wetsanding with trizact 3000 and my airsander.
![](http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/6805/img4051u.jpg)
Surbuf/M105 Festool speed 5
Orange/M205/Festool Speed 5
![](http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/8012/img4054a.jpg)
Final polishing one handed with the festool/black/M205
![](http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/6475/img4060p.jpg)
Bret trying out the festool while final polishing:

After final polishing:
![](http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/6707/img4084i.jpg)
Rt door had some deeper RIDS, so 3k trizact w/ air sander:

Bret using the Meguiars G110v2 with surbuf/M105:
![](http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6763/img4094l.jpg)
So besides for the panels that where wetsanded, all panels got:
Surbuf/M105
Orange/M205
Black/M205
Re-washed with Zaino Z7 via 2BM/sheepskin mits
Dried with electric leaf blower.
Remaining water removed by spritzing Z6 and drying with big blue WW.
2x of Zaino ZFX'd Z5pro
Z8
Tires got Zaino Z-16

Some final pics the next day before I returned the car to the client. It had
rained the night before and was still cloudy.

Nice job. Do you recommend anyone near Madison, Milwaukee, or Chicago area that has similar skill to do the paint correction? My paint looks like the before pictures and I've been looking for someone to get it back for some time.

Thank you Klinh!
With any good car wash soap, you need a foam lance which requires a pressure washer.
Thank you Andy!
I can recommend Ivan of http://www.lustrdetail.com/
Ivan will get you taken care of the right way.
