The two-tone paint had faded significantly, with uniform swirl marks and random deep scratches, as well as pinholes. The client's wish list included a thorough interior detailing to clean and disinfect all surfaces, restoring the dull and faded paint, minor polishing of chrome finishes, and cleaning the engine bay area.

I began the process with a multipoint decontamination wash. This involved rinsing the paint to remove loose debris and dust, followed by applying a degreaser to loosen stubborn dirt and road film. After letting the degreaser sit, I foamed the car to allow it more time to work before rinsing.

To complete the chemical decontamination, I used a Tar and Iron treatment. The Tar chemical was applied and worked in with a microfiber cloth, followed by rinsing to remove dislodged tar particles. The iron treatment followed, similarly wrapping up the chemical decontamination process. Due to the car's age and extended period of sitting unprotected, I also needed to use a mechanical clay bar treatment to remove stubborn contaminants that the chemicals couldn't remove.

For the final step of the decontamination process, I performed a two bucket hand wash using a specialized microfiber wash mitt and car soap. The car was then dried with a specialized twisted microfiber towel.
