This is the first complete detail of my wife`s 2007 Dodge Nitro SLT. It is Light Khaki Metallic and the interior is Dark Khaki / Light Khaki. I wish it had been sunny I would have gotten some good close up pics of the paint - absolutely sparkles.
Here are the pictures from last Saturday. I started with the tires, wheels, and fender wheels. I then washed the car itself top to bottom using two buckets and two wash mitts. I then opened all the doors and cleaned the door seals. Dryed by pat drying so as to not drag the cloth over the paint. I clayed the whole car top to bottom. I hit all the trim, chrome, plastic and glass. I shined the tires, waxed, and shined tires again.
I did only use the cleaner wax and not the Mother`s Pre-Wax Cleaner, Sealer and Glaze, and Pure Wax because the paint is in perfect shape and would have only been more work.
Inside was easier. I vacuumed the carpet, dusted cracks and air vents, cleaned all the plastic and dash, and cleaned the windows. I do the windows last because I always get protectant on them and the glass cleaner removes it no problem.
The products used were: FX Wheel Cleaner, Tire and Rubber Cleaner, Mother`s Bucket, Car Wash, Back to Black, Chrome Polish, Plastic Polish, Glass Cleaner, Clay Bar, Showtime Instant Detailer, FX Tire Shine, Cleaner Wax, Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, Protectant, Wheel Brush, Brake Dust Brush, Fender Well Brush, Tire Brush, Lambswool Wash Mitt, Drying Towel, Wheel and Jamb Towel, Microfiber Applicator Pad, Polishing Cloth, Quick Detail Towel, Carpet and Upholstery Brush, and the Detail Brush. All of these are Mother`s products.
I don`t have any before pictures. It was in excellent shape just dirty from the previous week. I take good care of my cars. It is my wife`s daily driver but you couldn`t tell it. It gets quick detailed every weekend - weather permitting.
I started bright and early and finished just in time before it started to get cloudy and rain. I wish I could have got some good sun shots. I would have if I would have finished about an hour earlier. After I took the pictures I moved it inside and as I closed the garage it started to rain.
