This was a detail that came from a Rennlist member, after months of going back and forth we finally got the schedule figured out and I finally got to meet this mint condition C2S (minus the paint of course, :))

so after 2 years of ownership it had seen washes and waxes and was never polished, due to time constraints and no one in the customer's area to take care of it. When I got the car I found that the paint was dull and had tons of wash marks.
So a 2 step polish was done with Menzerna PO203 with an Uber Orange and Green pad followed by Menzerna PO85RD, I finished the car with Swissvax Crystal Rock.

Products Used:
Exterior:
Lusso Auto Bath in the Cam Spray Foam Canon
Swissvax Paint Rubber and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer for clay lube
The Uber Menzerna PO203S/PO85RD Kit
Menzerna Top Inspection
Swissvax Crystal Rock

Wheels and Tires
Uber Wheel/Tire/Wheel Well Kit
Replaced Swissvax Pneu on this one for Einszett Vinyl Rubber Care

Interior and Glass (sorry no pics)
Lusso Glass Polish
Leather Master Strong Cleaner
Leather Master Vital
Einszett Cockpit
Einszett Plastic/Vinyl Cleaner

Engine: (sorry no pics)
P21S Total Autowash
No dressings needed

Tools:
Infratech 5300
Brinkmann MaxFire
Metabo PE12-175
Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
Uber Drying Towels
Cam Spray 1500A with Cam Spray Foam Gun

Looks great! Hows the Uber Hair Wash Brush working for you? Should we just replace that with regular mitts/sponges? Or only use it when the car is foamed?

I love the Uber Boar's Hair Wash brush for washing the car with, I don't use any pressure I just glide it over the paint and it pulls everything off without scratching.

Thanks guys for the feedback.

Just out of the curiosity, how much does something like that cost? I know it depends on the car and condition of the paint, but on average?
