2005 Ford GT Polish, Engine and Seats

This 2005 Ford GT has 11,000 miles on it.  It is currently kept by it's second owner.  This vehicle makes it out for a few nice days a year and is subsequently wiped down, dried and covered until the next time it is driven.  This is the first time during the ownership that the car has gotten a traditional wash.  The car also recently came back from a trip to Detroit where is was serviced.  As a result, the engine bay was a bit dirty.  After 10 years, the leather needed a little attention and the exterior had accumulated some swirls and scratches.  The goal of this work was to refine the paint, removing the majority of the fine swirls and marring.
