Latest Details-Rover/Beetle/Lexus/VW Vabriolet/etc..

I received a call from the owner of this truck last night to see if I could detail it this morning. Turns out that his wife sold her Land rover (detailed that as well) awhile back and used the Range Rover until yesterday - when she bought a Cayanne (wasn't there today) so the husband wanted it CLEAN asap

I last detailed this Rover in the summer. At that time I topped with FK1 #2180 so no polishing was needed today. Temp was 27 when I started.

interior

vacuum
TOL's Deep Down 10:1 to clean leather vinyl
NL to protect
FK1 #425 on windows (interior)
Cteam cleaned door jambs etc...



exterior

QEW
OCW
TOL's Weel Cleaner
FK1 Tire shine
OCW on wheels



============

My VW dealership called to give this Beetle a full detail (headliner was also replaced)

Wasn't in bad shape, although it was supposed to be the first detail on this 3(?) year old car with only 20000 miles on it.

Interior came out perfect but didn't try taking pictures due to bad lighting.

vacuum
TOL's Deep Down 10:1 to clean vinyl/leather
TOL's Rug Renew 10:1 to clean carpet
Cteam clean seats/vents etc...
NL to protect everything

Exterior

Blue Coral wash
Meg's Clay
ssr1 blue propel pad/pc/5
OCW/paint/door jambs/wheels
FK1 #425 on windows
FK1 Tire dressing on tires

I was asked to focus on the interior of this RX300

It started to rain and had 2.5 hours to do it. After I took the most junk out of a vehicle ever. this is what I find. Needless to say, I was only able to vacuum and wipe down the interior. Going back to finish it next week.

BTW, the interior looks much worse in person.

I like all of your work . the VW stands out thru my eyes. Ashimmering silver pool.

I almost feel like the last pictures of that mess that they left you with is a cliff hanger. Will be interested in the resulting pic's when you go back to finish the deta

I almost feel like the last pictures of that mess that they left you with is a movie serial cliff hanger. Will be interested in the resulting pic's when you go back to finish the detail.

The interior of the RX300 looks like a frickin' landfill! Good luck on that one.

All your details look terrific, but I like that Rover interior the best, it looks brand new!

Thanks Brad - I was just thinking about you. I think I want to wetsend my car's hood/trunk/roof. Would you give me the name of the block /paper that you use?

Business has been slow.

I got the block from Eastwood co. I think it is called Dura-block. The paper is Megs.
