I had the priveledge of detailing not one, but two, Saleen S281 Extremes this past weekend. Numbers 26 and 76, both belonging to the same home. They were both having tint, stereos and other goodies installed by GV Autosport and I was asked to make these low mile beauties shine! I had to match the quality of the install jobs being done, so I definitely had my work cut out ahead of me. Fortunately, both vehicles were in immaculate shape with the exception of a handful of correctable defects and dirt from being driven. Number 76 was only driven for about 8,000 miles and number 26 even less at 3,100 miles, so I'd hope they were in the shape they were in, even being 2006 models.
With that said, nothing was over looked, the wheels were removed, all vinyl taped off, plastic covered and treated to maximize the result of the gloss in the paint. Products used is as follows:
P21S TAW
P21S GWC
P21S Finish Restorer
P21S Polishing Soap
Sonus Green Ultra Fine Clay with Megiuars Last Touch Detailer
Menzerna 203 - Yellow/Orange for defects
Menzerna PO85RD - Green
P21S Paint Cleanser - love this stuff
Blackfire Wet Diamond Sealant - Blue
Poorboy's Natural Look
Poorboy's Bold and Bright
Rejex Sealant
Adam's Undercarriage spray
1Z Pfledge on Door seals
Wax was not added, as the cars will be stored in a 68 degree garage in car bubbles. The sealant was MORE than enough protection.
Car as it was when I first arrived.

The paint was in excellent condition and only required light polishing/jeweling, a few defects were repaired, but over all we tried to crank as much shine out of this silver as possible. Hopefully these reflection photos capture it!
