Here we have a 2002 Maserati 4200 Spyder that needed some TLC.
No pictures of wash stages as it was raining heavily so just cracked on with the job at hand at the time but here are some pics of some of the work carried out.
Engine given a good degrease with Autosmart G101
Before
Then dressed with Aerospace protectant
Wheels were badly kerbed so these were given a full refurb
Fully refurbished
and sealed with Nanolex Premuim Alloy Sealant
Wheel bolts also needed tidying up
These were sand blasted then given a coat of etch primer and then painted silver
Whilst wheels were off arches were given a good clean using Bilt hamber Surfex HD
Before (front)
After
Before (rear)
After
Wheel hubs were a bit rusty and lacked paint so these were painted gloss black
Before
After
Fabric roof was redyed and then waterproofed using Renovo
Correction was carried out using Menz 203s and a LC Polishing Pad or Light Cutting pad with a few deeper scratches requiring Menz 3.02 and a 4in cutting pad
50/50 under some metal halide lights
another 50/50 on a different panel under natural light
Few "before & after" pics

At this point Adam came out to remove a few dings and dents
Whilst Adam attended to the dings i started on the exhausts

Once all paint correction was complete paint was refined
SV Cleaner Fluid was applied/removed by hand and then a the 1st coat of SV Divine was applied and left to cure whilst some of the smaller details were taken care of such as the sealing the exhausts, dressing tyres and cleaning the front grill. A 2nd coat of Divine was applied the following day.

The interior seen some work also
removing the plastic missed in the PDI when the car was first sold 8 years ago
Leather given a good clean - was very shiny
I noticed a scuff on the drivers seat and luckily I had some burgundy colour dye left over from a job that i done on a Mercedes so this was used to colour wash the area and add some colour.

Not 100% but looking much better
Storage area for the roof was given a good vacuum, wiped down and seals treated with SV Seal Feed
Few finished shots
Thanks for looking
