TRIPLE THREAT, Todays detail PICS NO 56K

[EBPcivicsi]

Today I detailed another car for the owner of the van that I did last weekend. This truck is a work truck, a child mobile, and a dog chauffer. The interior was a complete mess with spills everywhere, mud, dog hair, cany, you name it. I vac’ed, cleaned everything with an APC ( I had TOL’s enzyme powder in it) , then extraxted the carpets with my LGCM

The exterior had not been washed in ages. I sometimes prefer them this way because even though the paint is dirty, it is usually not as badly swirled as someone who takes it through the swirl-o- matic. I was detailing in full sun so I broke out the PWC and topped with EX-P. PWC via PC with a meguiars polishing pad and then EX-P by hand. I used #40 cut 50/50 in the wheel wells and dressed the tires with a high gloss solvent based dressing that I buy locally. I then used sprayway glass cleaner on all interior and exterior glass. HT bumper and molding renew on all trim. This job took me about 5.5 hours.

Thanks Woob, LGCM= Little Green Clean Machine.

I love #40 in the wheel wells, definitely cut it though.

I charged $275, but I got $300 with the tip! :drunk

#40 is a waterbased dressing by meguiars. I cut it 50/50 with water and use it to dress wheel wells and motors. I use it full strength on interiors and tires.

I usually just use hot water in my LGCM. I spray the chemical into the carpet, scrub with brush, then allow it to sit for a few minutes, then I come back and shoot the water into it and extract.

Thanks everyone!

Zest, I guess you have to do what you can when you are in Memphis. Making people think of Hawaii is a bonus around here!

I thought I was the only one geting the piles of crap around here. I had a car like that every day this week. :hurl

nice work, I remember doing vehicles like that:nono

Holy shi_ !

That is amazing work...you never cease to amaze me!

How do you like the little green steam machine? Does it work like a mini extractor? What dilution of APC do you use?

[Ferrarislave]

That is plain discusting I dont see how people live like that.. It might be dirty but that is just filthy makes you wonder how their house is inside.

Anyway back to the point awsome job car is a total transformation, What did you use on the wheels. ?

[Fallguy]

Nice job !!!

Those kind of vehicle`s are a welcomed challenge.

Thanks man, I really appreciate it!

I used costco APC 10/1 with the HT powder. The costco APC is awesome and is < $5 for 1.25 gallons!!!!!!

The LGCM is OK, but is certainly not a professional tool. If I get any busier I am going to buy a real extractor. I did carpets for years with just an APC, a brush, and a terry cloth towel so the LGCM @$39 was a step up for me.


Frozen, I know what you mean, the truck was foul!! I used acid on the wheels along with an EZ detail brush.

Thanks again everyone!
