Clicking, and kinda bragging: 2001 Toyota Highlander

[NightyNight]

First C&B. Criticisms on technique and results welcome.



Well, this was the first time detailing my own personal car since i got my new PC. I`d like to apologize in advance for the horrid pics, old camera, no tripod, blaring Arizona sun makes it hard to take decent ones. I also forgot interior pics, lol. Sorry again, my next one will be better I promise.



Process:

1. Quick rinse on the heavy dirt.

2. ONR (Wheels got 1:2 APC degreaser w/ brushing and wipe down.)

3. Cracks, crevices, doorjambs with ONR spray that I made.

4. Poorboy`s Polish w/ Sealant, Sonus Orange Pad, 1500rpms

5. Poorboy`s EX-P Pure Sealant, hand applicator, let sit for about 3 mins. (**** dries fast here. )

6. Windows with Eagle 20/20

7. Meguiar`s PlastX on headlights. They were a bit yellow in the beginning. I tried it by hand at first, went way to slow. So I popped on the stock pad that came with the PC, and used that. Went way faster, and awesome results. Can`t tell really in the pics, but in person the change is amazing.



Interior:

1. Quick vacuum with interior brush.

2. APC 1:10 on light marks and stuff on the plastics, dashboard, etc...

3. Meguiar`s Quik Interior Detailer on the electronics, fake grain panels, etc..

4. Water/Woolite on carpets, Oxy Clean spray for stains (came right out with a bit of brushing.)

5. Vacuum



Onto pics (sorry again):

I have a couple gripes about the Poorboy`s products atm, but I won`t get into it right now. I`m hungry.
