    I used a carpet cleaner, scrub brush(s), steam cleaner and microfiber towels. I used Resolve for solution.

    Looking good. I can't get a handle on why anyone would let such a great car get into this condition, such a shame. At least it is in good hands now. :)

    Boom! The proper finish has been found....

    So I tried about 6 different paints (all ones that have been mentioned on Fchat before) and none of them did the trick. Some are close but they are not correct IMO.

    Well, while it was not easy, I found the right one - here it is: (exact match to the factory color and texture)
