Wow. Impressive. I can’t believe I just spent twenty minutes watching all of that. Does anyone know why he’d go through the trouble of taking out the seats but leave the wheels on? He did such a thorough job that I’d think it’d drive him crazy when the car moved a foot and there were “patches of different” on all four tires, knowing the inner wheel barrels are almost perfect, but not quite. (I get that the rotors will go back to silver the first time you hit the brakes, but it was almost painful seeing them with oxidation on them while the wheels were glistening.) Any idea why he wouldn’t clay the car?

As to the car itself, where would one find that carbon steering wheel and shifter? Beautiful vehicle.

I also thought that was funny, wrt not removing the wheels for the full clean, given how extremely detailed he was over the rest of the vehicle.

As for clay, it looks like the vehicle already has a ceramic (or at least some excellent sealant/wax) on it (check the beading when he rinses the vehicle). With an approach as thorough as this I can only surmise the detailer inspected the paint and determined a chemical decon + cut would be sufficient decon since he's doing a 2-stage correction anyway.
