Sorry we haven't posted in awhile! We have a few one's coming and here's the first of 'em
The owner of this vehicle is always busy working as a medical doctor at two different hospitals, and when he's not busy with that, he's busy with his Grandkids at home. He left it up to AutoLavish when it was time to resuscitate his dependable daily driver. Given the style of the new Acuras, the owner desired to keep this one, and we can't blame him. And after some TLC from AutoLavish, why would he not?
The goal was to clean up the interior as thorough as possible, and prep for the coming Winter with a Acrylic Sealant on the exterior. If we could make it look better, then great. Of course we could! We planned on trying out a product we had not used yet: Meg's D151 Reconditioning creme, which would provide some correction on the soft Honda paint, and leave the surface sealed in one step, saving time for the customer (we charge by the hour).
The interior would need lots of work. The carpets showed severe staining around the foot controls, and the interior panels had seen some hyper-grandkid-fun-and-games-gunk. The leather needed reconditioning. Mild extraction would be required. The Glass needed cleaning as well... badly.
Befores:
Swirls:
TOGW:
Since the main focus was the interior, we decided to attack it first. There was significant staining and the leather needed rejuvenation. At the same time, we attacked the door jambs.
Interior before:
Starting to clean the interior: Used Woolite at 10:1 for the first wipe, followed by 1Z Cockpit Premium. Right before finishing up the interior, Leatherique Penetrating Oil was applied to the leather seats and left to dwell while we worked on the exterior.
50/50 on the door sill:
50/50 on the lower plastic seat molding / seat controls:
Coming along...
