Default Detailing of a nice 964 WTL

Hi,

Im not sure if you are intrested in detailing but yesterday i did small makeover on a friends stunning 964 WTL.
Here you have some pictures of the car and the work, maybe you will be inspired

The car was washed and rinsed and the front end and lower half's were treated with pre wash
The wheels were cleaned using tar remover and Dodo wheelclean, over and over again untill clean.
After this i cleaned the inside of the fenders until you can feel them with a white towel
Now it was time to claye the car and the rims.
naxt step was to use a brush to clean all the small detailed parts.
cleaned the top with fabriccleaner and a brush and rinsed the car again.
The car was dryed let dry compleatly while lunch..
After this the numberplates came of.
I used some 3M masking to get all dust of the top and then the top was treated with lethermaster textileprotection. (see link below to youtube.)
The car was vacuumed and the carpets was wetcleaned and protected wit the same product
All leather inside was treated with Zymol leathertreat 2 times.
The backwindow in plastic was treated with Zymol screenproduct to get the scratches and yellowing off.
Afther this it was time to mask the car and start the polish in 3 steps.
first Menzerna Powerfinish and a rotating Festoolmashine, then same product with a occelating FLEXpolisher.
Efter this i used Menzerna Super finnish and the occelating polisher.
Final step i used Zymol Concours 2 layers on the car and menzerna powerlock on the rims.
The tyres and al rubberparts was treated and then it was time for a final clean of all springs and gaps..

I hope you like the pictures:

What did you use to treat the rubber seals? I can't seem to find anything that lasts more than a week!

In the next couple of weeks I'm going to clay/polish/wax my car, so it was nice reminder on how to tape the rubber parts (etc.).

LOVE the interior!
