The owner of this beast ordered a total makeover - A full exterior correction and an interior redesign. Part 1 will report the exterior correction while Part 2 will focus on the interior.


The car was first given a thorough wash. No water beading was found indicating the lack of any protection.

Water wetted the whole surface with some tar spots found on the bonnet.

Huge amount of dirt and tar spots were picked up on part of the carbon fibre roof alone.

Further inspection under the sun and LED lighting revealed generous amounts of swirls throughout with several random deep scratches

Fast forward to some before-after photographs


Before - These places where people neglect and pay less attention to. Years of dirt caked into the lug nuts.

30 minutes on each wheel. A total of 2 and a half hours for wheels and tyres alone. Cleaned with Osren Multi Clean. Sorry I just used another OPC's spray bottle to dispense
