2008 Dodge Caravan

I did this for Joel_MD. It's his mothers Van.

I arrived after a quick hour and a half trip to Joel's Mom's and got to work. When I arrived, the temp was 6 degrees F. Luckily in the garage, it was more like 20+. My waterless wash froze to the windows a bit but eventually thawed. That's what happens in MN winter! We weren't going for total swirl removal here. The AIO did a nice job and removing the light stuff. Overally, the vehicle is about 95% swirl free. The main focus was protection. I let the Z5pro sit for 30+ minutes before removing due to low temps. After that, it wiped off like butter.

Process:

Waterless wash
HiTemp APC on tires, wheels, and wells
Tires Dressed with meguiars hot-shine
Wells dressed with foaming tire shine
Paint polished with Zaino AIO
Z6 wipedown
Zaino Z5pro
Z6 wipedown

Interior was vacuumed, lightly shampooed and wiped down with a Z28 mix.

Greg, my mom really digs her clean van. Thanks for braving the cold and making the long trip.

Nice job, especially in that weather. The newer Caravans have many nooks/crannies in the interior (re: stow and go seating etc) that complicate a detail.

I'm trying to post more, so we'll see how long it keeps up. I was very impressed with how the van is put together. The stow and go is easy and professional. There was a lot of nice detail in it.
