We pulled out all the wrapper and a few of the decals on the glass. Did a vac and wipe down with a cockpit cleaner, followed by a nice leather cleaning and conditioning to prevent denim transfer. Glass was done as well as door jambs were sealed. Before Removing the tags and wrapper left in the car Leather cleaning and conditioning - even though the car is new I decided to clean with Leather Master Strong Cleaner followed with Leather Master Barrier to do some preventive maintenance to protect the leather from denim transfer. Door Jambs cleaned and protected - Sonax Polymer Net Shield was used on the jambs Door seals cleaned and protected with 1Z einszett Gummi - great way to keep them fresh and new as well as during the winter months its keeps your doors from freezing shut. After shots Exterior Moving on to the exterior prep and Xpel Ultimate installation. Before shots Wheel cleaning - Sonax Wheel Cleaner Plus and various brushes Uber Boar's Hair Brush for the lugs Wheel Woolies for behind the spokes and the first 1/2 of the inner wheel barrels EZ Detail Brush for the back half of the wheels and in between the calipers and wheels - super tight especially with the stock 19's. Smaller Wheel Woolies for between the spokes Adam's Boulder Brush for the face of the wheels - super gentle. Rinse them off. Decon with Sonax Fallout Remover (it pulled up quite a bit of iron particles and fallout with only a few hundred miles on it) After all the decon wash pressure washed off we foam the car Rinse and blow dry With the darker/matte wheels I have found we always need to go back and hit them up with a detail spray to ensure they are perfectly clean. Washed and Dried - next up clay bar Making sure the car is perfect prior to the Xpel Ultimate Clear Film installation. A good polish with Sonax Perfect Finish and the Rupes LHR21 with Rupes Yellow Pad. After the complete prep we made sure all the areas that were getting protected with Xpel were cleaned a few times with an IPA wipe down. Areas being covered - front bumper, full front fenders, full hood, mirrors, headlights, a pillars, front of the roof, door cups, full side skirts, luggage area on the back bumper and behind the rear wheels on the rear bumper. Some final touches - Glass cleaned after the Xpel Ultimate was installed - Getting the tires cleaned and dressed - using Stoner's Tarminator, Auto Finesse Obilitarate, Adam's Super VRT No after shots with the stock set up we went to Ben and Mark at Rogue Engineering for some goodies. Rogue Engineering installed H&R Springs, Rogue Engineering Spacers 12 mm, and Rogue Engineering Stainless Steel Brake Lines stock H&R RE 12MM Spacers Front and Rear RE SS Lines Stock RE SS lines installed Back at DD it was cleaned it up and took some final shots. Inside Outside Hope you enjoyed it, email me with any questions about this write up or anything else detailed related. |

yes sir we get the car prepped then follow with the clear film installation, we make sure all the slip and gel solutions we use completely dry out before we move on to the next stages of the detail and clear film installation.

That's some serious cleaning there! Probably takes all day to do. I can spend all day cleaning my car but 5 min down the road and it's dirty already! LOL!
