DP 08 GXP Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 the customer just picked this one up a few hours ago and all she kept saying was oh my lol...she also said it was the cleanest she has ever seen it...im guessing she doesnt really have a clue what i had to all do to get it to that point but oh well...its money in my pocket and a new customer in the future....the customer lives on a farm and the interior smelled like one as well which was nice...i have never had an interior with the amount of stains this one had so that was my biggest challenge....the paint was in bad shape and some spots needed to be wet sanded or repainted so i worked out what i could..it came out looking pretty damn nice....here is the process Cleaned the rims with Green Wheel Cleaner Cleaned the tires and wheel wells with All Purpose Cleaner Foamed down the vehicle with my foam gun that had Car Shampoo and All Purpose Cleaner mix to strip any wax off Washed with 2 bucket method with Car Shampoo and All Purpose Cleaner mix Dried with Detail Spray and Great White Drying Towel Clayed entire vehicle with Detail Spray Moved on to the interior which included wiping down the seats, dashboard, and door panels with Leather and Interior Cleaner Dressed with SVRT Swept out carpet and floor mats Sprayed carpet and mats with Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner and let it dwell for a few minutes then agitated with carpet brush Used my Bissell Auto Heat to soak the mats and carpet then extracted Started polishing with Swirl and Haze Remover on an orange pad with my Flex 3401 Moved on to Fine Machine Polish on the white pad Drivers door needed the Severe Swirl Remover and green pad on the cordless drill Wiped down with Waterless Wash to remove an polish oils Applied Machine Super Sealant Dressed the engine bay with SVRT and In and Out Spray Dressed the tires with SVRT and the wheel wells with Invisible Undercarriage Spray Removed wax and gave a final wipe down with Detail Spray Cleaned windows with Glass Cleaner i think that is it....on with all the pics exterior before starting interior before starting interior after exterior after polishing this was the one above that needed the drill engine bay reflection shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adroc33 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Nice job Derek hard to make those cars look good but you did it. There is one spot I saw that has a dirty Ohio St flag on the paint. The Husker in me says you need to buff that out. Seriously though very nice work especially the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
