I detailed this 2000 Plymouth Prowler on Monday, July 25th. The car had 19,348 miles on it when I picked it up. The day had a cloudy start, became sunny in the low 80`s during the day, only to cloud up again and rain later...
The car had not been driven in over a year and was in the owner`s garage. The paintwork was a little dusty (it has been said that dust is a protective coating :tongue2 no swirls that I could see, no RIDS and the interior was clean. Detailing the wheels was the worst part of this detail as they had some "stuff" on them.
Before I started...
The car was foamed with DP extreme foam shampoo via pressure washer with a foam gun...
The car was then washed via two bucket method and Meguiar`s Gold Class. Tires, wheels and fender/wheelwells were cleaned with Meguiar`s APC... then the car was clayed with Meguiar`s blue detailing clay using a fresh solution of Gold Class, then foamed once more and rinsed.
The car was dried with microfiber drying towels and I used my leaf blower to blow the water out of the cracks and crevices. I then went about taping off the trim and used plastic bags and newspaper to mask off the bumpers and the cloth convertible top.
Since the paint was clean and swirlfree, I went to Meg`s 205 via PC with a Lake Country polishing pad. My Griot`s 3" RO polisher helped with the tight spots!
After polishing, I applied 2 layers of Meguair`s #21 synthetic sealant by hand and removed it with Meg`s microfiber towels.
I then started polishing the chrome wheels. I used the Griot`s polisher and a Griots 3" cutting pad with Mother`s Chrome Polish. The inner barrels were done with a Mother`s powerball mini and Mother`s chrome polish via Makita electric drill...
Here`s an inside the garage reflection shot
The tires were treated with Stoners More Shine, the bumpers were treated with Stoners Trim Shine.
The glass was cleaned with Stoner`s Invisible Glass, the exterior glass was treated with RainX.
These are exteriror shots just before the sky opened up with heavy rain, thunder and lightning...
Interior shots... I just went over the interior surfaces with Meguiar`s Interior QD...
As I finshed the interior pics, it started to "spit a little"... so I pilled the car back into my garage and took these pics...
Because it was pouring, and my customer was working an overtime tour at the firehouse and wifey`s Edge was already out in the rain, I kept the car inside for the night. I took this pic just before turning in for the night... the reflection of my Mustang garage clock off of the hood and fenders of the car...
