Newell Motor Coach, 330i, Carnauba Jett on a Rolls, nasty Civic interior

2004 Newell Motor Coach. 3rd time I have done this one. Probably could use some deep polishing but the owner said it wasn't worth it to him for me to spend a good 12+ hours buffing it out. Just went with Meguiars #20 Polymer Sealant applied using a Meguiars polishing pad and removed the excess with Optimum Car Wax and microfiber towels-essentially waxing it twice in little more than the time it would take to do it once.

Pics are the best I could do in a warehouse on a dark, misty day.

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

2006 BMW 330i. Used Vanilla Moose and Natty's Blue on it in December, just did an Optimum No Rinse Wash and a coat of Optimum Car Wax to freshen it up.

330 looks nice. Coach looks like a lengthy job that turned out well. Suitable for a country star I guess.

2004 Rolls Royce Phantom. Polished with Menzerna 106FF and topped with Optimum Car Wax x 2 in late December, just added a coat of Jeff's Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett this time. Definitely made a noticable improvement in the 'blackness' of the paint.

This is disgusting. 1997 Honda Civic. Probably hasn't seen a vacuum in years. Owner smokes, more than a few spots with cigarette burns, spills, ground in grime, etc.

Probably should have used flash despite the strong sun in this shot, you can't really see how horrific the floor mat really is.

After vacuuming and cleaning with Woolite/water mixture. I used Armor All on the vinyl, but it was after taking the pics as I was running out of daylight.

Forget to get a before of the back, not too many stains, just a bunch of dog hair. Anyway, it came out pretty good.

Even used flash here so you could see down between the seats.

Took after shots with the mats out, then in. The driver's mat is really beyond hope, lots of wear issues.

Went to work on that discoloration on the seat again before taking this shot (with flash)

Thought I'd put a before and after together...

Love the depth on the Rolls. As for the Civic, doesn't really deserve your treatment but it came out as good as anyone could hope for. Great work as usual.

I used two pad. I wasn't removing defects so it isn't that hard on the pads. PC was fine. Took a lunch break about 4 hours in.

Ahhahahaha! Someone on another board made this, sort of like the Batman signal!

Good, the big and the ugly.

Scott, What your process for cleaning carpets with the woolite/water mixture? Also, what kind of woolite do you use? I have some spots on my carpet I can't get out with a apc/oxy/water mixture I use. I wish I could get a carpet transformation like that. Good job!!

I mix it up usually 8 or 6 to 1, the 1 part being Woolite-the regular wool safe laundry soap. Spray, scrub with a nylon bristle brush, wipe, wet vac, final wipe. Some stains may not come out though, especially if you've already tried to clean them. Sometimes that sets the stain, other stains just don't come out no matter what you use.
