This 2007 Accord is owned by the son-in-law of one of my regular customers. The reason for the detail is because they are either selling or trading it in. It likely hadn`t had much done other than washes so it did need some work. It could use a full correction at some point but its a Honda, not a Ferrari so prospective buyers are looking for a clean, shiny car, not perfection. And for not going too nuts, the improvement on the exterior was immense. Interior cleaned up really nicely and since the car only has 57,100 or so miles on it, the interior still has a newish smell to it.
I should have taken before shots but after upper 70s to 80 the last few days, it was in the low 40s with 20-30 mph winds so I wanted to get the engine, wheels and fenderwells cleaned and then get the car into the well lit garage and close the doors!
ONR wash, Optimum Opti-Raser mild to clay
Optimum Power Clean diluted 3:1 to clean the engine, wheels and fenderwells, then rinsed (no engine pics, sorry)
Optimum Hyper Compound using a Meguiars 6" microfiber cutting pad and my PC 7424 XP on the hood and trunk lid
Optimum Hyper Polish with an Optimum 6" microfiber cutting pad and my PC
Opti-Seal to protect
Armor All on tires/fenderwells
ONR wash and wax diluted 32:1 to clean glass
Woolite/water diluted 20:1 to clean leather and vinyl
3D Carpet Shampoo diluted 16:1 to clean carpets and mats
Optimum Protectant Plus to dress vinyl
Zaino Z-10 Leather Conditioner (customer supplied) to dress the leather
