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.  | |

It has pretty much sat since then, other than being driven to Fort Worth and back for a tune (50-60 miles, I guess) and a tank of 110 octane racing gas. The owner is selling the car and someone is coming in from New Jersey later this week to look at the car (built 350, 540+ hp off the bottle) so he wanted it cleaned up for him.
He'd driven through at puddle in the mechanic's parking lot and it splashed crap into the engine bay. I washed it down with Optimum No Rinse and several brushes, then polished the chrome and metal with Wheel Wax and dressed the rubber and plastic with Armor All. I did go back over the air filter housing ducting after taking the pics.
The paint (got Optimum Polish and Natty's Blue in May) was still pretty slick and had a nice pop to it, so I just washed it with ONR and the wheels got Wheel Wax. My understanding is the body kit is a one off deal. No problems with how the hood fits, it wasn't closed all the way.
The interior was cleaned with Woolite/water in May, just vacuumed and touched up (driver's side) this time and dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus. Yes, that is a roll cage.  | |
