Default Detailer's Domain: Maserati Quattroporte

1 of 2 details from last Saturday.

A Maserati Quattroporte a daily driver pretty beat up, however the color hides a lot.

Process:
1. Cleaned up the wheels with P21S Wheel Cleaner
2. Wash (Adam's Car Wash)
3. Clay (Adam's Detail Spray and Adam's Clay Bar
4. Green pad with Menzerna APO60 Sealant Wax (this is a great cleaner/wax)
the paint was quite soft and I was able to correct some of the paint with it.
5. Windows with Adam's Glass Cleaner
6. Dressed tires with Adam's VRT
7. Wiped down wheels with Adam's Detail Spray
8. Interior with Einszett Leathercare and Einszett Cockpit
9. Vacuum

Engine:
1. Warm engine
2. Spritzed P21S Autowash
3. Brushed and agitated dirt
4. Rinsed with water
5. Ran the engine
6. Dressed it with Adam's In and out and VRT

Due to time I was not able to get tons of pictures on this one. Sorry.

Default God I love/hate QPs.

We do at least 1 used or new QP from Ferrari of Seattle every 2 days....love the looks (especially with the sport package and new automatic transmission) but after detailing so many, I've come to hate them. And Seattle people's taste in the color combinations is hideous. Blue leather with tan inserts and tan piping?!!

Looks good man.

I know what you mean I wasn't too keen on this color either.
