Sexy topless redhead, Escalade, cyclo > dirty mats

2005 Cadillac Escalade. This is the one I posted a few weeks ago after my son detailed the interior. Time for wax again, didn't need any polishing, still looked good from the last exterior detail in May. Just went over it with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba by hand.









We also washed their 2004 Lexus SC430. Real garage queen so I mostly use Pinnacle Souveran on it. This is how it look a full 6 weeks after applying Souveran by hand. Just washed it with Optimum No Rinse. No QD either. The deep Souveran look is holding up very well....but then again, the car is rarely driven in rain and only around 200 miles a month in nice weather!

2004 Lexus LX470. A couple years old, never detailed, just run through the touch free at the gas station about once a week. Both interior and exterior were in decent shape though, the exterior was suprisingly swirl free but needed some heavy claying. The mats were pretty bad too but the rest in and out were pretty easy.

Rear mat before:



Half cleaned with water/Woolite and the Cyclo:



All done, should have brushed it out a bit more evenly for the pic though. Those aren't stains in the edge of the mat, just not all brushed in one direction.



The whole interior was cleaned with Woolite/water and dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus.





The exterior was clayed, then polished with Werkstatt's Prime using white Cyclo finishing pads and sealed with Acrylic Jett. I tried to capture the pearl flake when the sun was out but it didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped.

Hey Scott, quick question. With the mats did you just apply the woolite mix by spray bottle and then just scrub scrub scrub? But in your case its with the cyclo. And then you vacuumed it up?

More Souveran and I think a coat of Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett.

I haven't polished it in a while, just doesn't need it. Probably more than a year since I polished it with Prime and sealed with Acryic Jett.

Spray, scrub with the Cyclo (and you can literally see the dirt just disappear!), wipe, vac and wipe again so all the carpet fibers are going in one direction.

always use a towel to "mop up your mess" first before vacuuming.
