Smith Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) Vehicle: Chevrolet Suburban Products used: Two buckets with grit guard Two professional wash pads Adams Car Wash Shampoo Deep Wheel Cleaner APC SVRT Detail Spray Quick Sealant Leather and Interior Cleaner Undercarriage Spray Leather and Interior Conditioner Adams Fender Brush Great White Drying Towel Block dressing applicator Interior dressing Applicators Pictures/Process: (Disclaimer: Camera died after just a couple pictures so many were taken with my iphone. Also forgot to snap a few :/ ) Also, had pictures uploaded to photobucket but didn't realize I couldn't post them all that way. Pictures were larger and weren't sideways until uploaded so I apologize for the inconvenience until this can be fixed. This is also how I personally do things. If there is a better way/you have found a way you like more then please feel free to discuss :shake: Before shots: Aunt is going out of town and taking my cousin and her friends to a softball tournament and wanted the Suburban clean for the trip. She wanted just a “good wash and clean the inside some”. The Suburban looked like it had absolutely zero wax on it and the plastics I’m sure had never seen any dressing as they soaked up SVRT like a champ. Due to time constraints and her just wanting what she did I think it turned out great. She was happy and that’s all that mattered. In all her dirty glory…. I know not everyone has one but I personally use a foam cannon hooked to a power washer when washing. It is not necessary but I really enjoy using it. I put a few ounces of Adams Car Wash Shampoo into my foam cannon and then fill the rest of the way up with water. I also add a quick “squirt” (sorry for not being more precise) to my Two buckets with grit guard before filling it up with water. Next before getting the wheels wet I sprayed Deep Wheel Cleaner onto the wheels, let set a second and agitated them with a wheel brush before then rinsing. Once done with the wheels I moved onto spraying the Suburban down with the foam cannon to soak for a couple of minutes. Once soaked I used the Two buckets with grit guard and Two professional wash pads to wash the entire Suburban. I kept one wash pad to use on the top half of the Suburban and one to use on the bottom half as to not contaminate or spread any of the debris from the bottom to the top. Next, I moved onto scrubbing the wheels and wheel wells. For this I used my Adams Fender Brush, APC, and wheel brush. I sprayed a liberal amount of APC onto the tires as well as in the fender/fender liners and the proceeded to agitate the wheels with the wheel brush and fenders with the fender brush. Once I had the exterior washed. I then rinsed the entire Suburban off using the pooling method to make drying easier and then sprayed Detail Spray on to several panels, windows, etc. of the Suburban before drying it off with a Great White Drying Towel. Once dry I then began to dress the plastics beginning with the fenders and Undercarriage Spray. I gave each fender a few sprays with the undercarriage spray and then buffed down/spread evenly using an old microfiber rag (Warning: don’t use a new rag for this). After dressing the fenders I moved on to the tires, steps, and all other exterior plastics and dressed them using SVRT and a Block dressing applicator. I applied the SVRT as needed to the applicator. This will vary by application depending on how “wet” you would like your SVRT to look and how “thirsty” your plastics are. Next a quick coat of Quick Sealant was applied due to time constraints and not being able to apply Americana. Quick Sealant was applied per directions and a panel at a time being spread with microfiber and wiped clean with another clean microfiber. Next was interior. I apologize for the lack of pictures but will explain steps. Entire interior was cleaned using a shop vac. Next one window had duct tape residue so APC was sprayed onto window (since tint was not present, do not due this if tint is present) then residue was scraped off using a razor blade. After that all interior plastics were scrubbed clean using Leather and Interior Cleaner. Once clean the same plastics were then treated with Leather and Interior Conditioner applied by a Interior dressing Applicators. Interior windows were cleaned using off the shelf “X” brand window cleaner and a waffle weave towel due to not having any adams cleaner. Wash bucket once done… Here is the finished product. Wish I could have done more but think it turned out well for a “quick wash and clean the inside some”. Hope you enjoyed!
