this is how 90% of my customers come to me.. Thier vehicles are used and abused here in MS. I really doubt the 'waterless' system would work for my environment. ha.

Wow, great turn around. What steps/products did you use? And what I really want to know is how you got your logo on the floor mats, slick. Some kind of stencil?
 
Beau defaintly getting there. Probably could use a few more close ups on the paint there. But that's one h*ll of a turn around on that interior. And from here the paint looks great too.
 
Flawless, nice save!! What process did you use on the seats and carpet?? I see the cyclo is your agitator. Good work!!

I have actually seen Scott ONR wash cars that looked worse than that. If I were to do that car I would probably spray some qd strength ONR on it first but that is just me.
 
ONR could not handle that thing, it would take alot of time and alot of dirty buckets, mitts, towels, water etc. A good PW or hose rinse with soap is the only way to get most of that dirt off reasonably fast..

What did you use on the leather seats??
 
Ahh, MS mud... one thing I don't miss about home! Nice job though! I'm gonna guess that's a cut out template that you put down and then vacuum over to get the logo on the carpets?? Nice trick! Might just have to bite that one off ya!

Yeah I saw the metal/aluminum template in another thread he posted. It's exactly that. Pretty neat idea.



Great turnaround on the interior. What did you use to get that horrible stain out of the trunk?



Also, I think I remember you saying you use Ardex...if so, what did you use on the tires/wheels/wells? Looks great.

Yeah it is in another thread http://autopia.org/forum/good-deals/120623-no-more-carpet-stripes-new-thing.html



I like the interior make over, just like everyone else, what were your products and steps.



Good job man!
 
I buy alot of products from a local manufacturer. car wash soap, degreaser, interior cleaner, leather cleaner, leather conditioner, glass cleaner, tire dressing, interior (armor all without the greasy feeling), etc etc. he makes all his own stuff.

Exterior: washed, let it air dry because I was going to buff it anyway, then after finished with interior, used orange pads on my cyclo and Ardex Alpha Grit. Then used Ardex Topaz (applied by hand). thats it.

Wheels and underneath: AP1 Degreaser 30:1 mixture

Interior: Heavy Duty interior cleaner, bucket of water and car wash soap mixed, a cup to pour on the water, cyclo with brush attachments, then i suck it up with the shop vac. easy as can be. no scrubbing by hand!

i had a hummer to wash the other day...looked like that...basically had to ONR wash it twice to make it look good...



would LOVE to see pics of ONR on a vehicle like this. and a timeline. this denali took me 6 hours from the time I pulled up to the time I left. working with a 2 man crew (myself and an employee)
