    First paying detail...what was I thinking?

    I hate big SUV`s.
    Anyhow, this is my first OFFICIAL detail. The pictures don`t do the dirt on the inside justice, but it was bad. The outside was ok, but I spent 3 hours removing overspray. Looked like the guy ran over a paintcan. Anyhow, I did the best I could and he was very pleased. I still didn`t get it all off.
    He needs some new mats......lol.

    Armoral wash (love the suds)
    Adams Clay, whole vehicle
    4* Clay + mineral spirits type cleaner for overspray
    DACP via rotary on hood
    Adams Polish + scratch remover via PC using meg polishing pad
    Adams Butter Wax
    Eagle one A2Z wheel cleaner (wheels still needed more work)
    Meguiars Hot Shine tire dressing (last pretty well here in NM)
    Little green machined mats (like I said needs new ones)
    # 39 then #40 and meguairs leather cleaner

    Anyhow, I thought I did ok, but the owner was really pleased. It may sound like I left a lot to do, but he mainly wanted the paint gone. This was probably a 3 day job if you wanted to really get into it.
