Audi TT, Dodge Ram 2500 (Waco day part 2), Corvette, Sienna

Here are the interior shots of the 1995 Range Rover-had to use flash because it was pretty late when I took them. BioKleen TLC for the carpets, Woolite/water for the rest, protected with Optimum Protectant Plus. The driver's mat isn't dirty, he took the Rover after we finished cleaning it and drove it around, so the carpeting is no longer all brushed in the same direction and using flash in those conditions makes the mats look dingy.





My son and I only had about 3.5 hours of daylight left to detail the Audi TT and wash/wax the Dodge 2500. I got both vehicles washed while my son detailed the Audi interior, which luckily, was very clean. Took him maybe 45 minutes start to finish. While I buffed the Audi, he waxed the truck and dressed trim, etc-basically did all the small stuff to help us finish.

Overall, the Audi was in good condition, I had polished it out a year ago but since then it seemed to have accumulated some light to moderate halo swirls. I really didn't have enough daylight left to go real hard into the paint (honestly, with rock hard Audi clear, I need the car a good 3 hours just for buffing) but I did go over it with Optimum Polish using green Propel lite cut Cyclo pads and that made a very noticable improvement. Not aggressive enough to remove 100% but enough to make a dramatic difference in how the car looked. I followed with Optimum Poli-seal using my PC and a blue Propel finishing pad which noticably added depth and gloss. It was pretty close to sundown when I shot these pics, so they are a touch dark.
