Let's start with the interior clean up first.

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.

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.

Wheel Woolies for behind the spokes and the first 1/2 of the inner wheel barrels
IMG_5256_zps9161e7d8.jpg


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.
IMG_5257_zpsd203f957.jpg


Smaller Wheel Woolies for between the spokes
IMG_5258_zps78f32e27.jpg


Adam's Boulder Brush for the face of the wheels - super gentle.

Rinse and blow dry

IMG_5291_zpsf35c1e18.jpg


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.
IMG_5440_zps2036bd19.jpg


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.
