Driven Auto Detail
New member
Hey all, this is my sister’s van that I detailed over the weekend. Since it belongs to my sis, I did this as an act of generosity. In return she is going to spread the word about my detailing business to her fellow teachers at school.
Being a single mom with two young teenagers & a dog, the van gets no love! Anything that could be found in a mini-van that hauls around kids was found; pop spills, candy in the carpet, make-up on the seats, fingerprints all over the glass, dog hair all over, etc. I definitely had my work cut out for me.
Exterior:
Meg’s NXT & 4 oz. DP Cleanse-All Exterior Cleaner
2-bucket method / Grit Guard
White/Yellow Schmitt
DP Cleanse-All is one of my favorite products. It's so universal; I can add it to my wash or use it cut 1:1 on any part of the exterior. I recommend it to anyone that hasn't tried it.
Tires, Wheels, & Wheel wells cleaned w/Meg's APC+ & DP Cleanse-All Exterior Cleaner
Tar & Bug's cleaned with Poorboy's Bug Squash diluted 1:1
This is the first time I've used Bug Squash. It really loosened up the abundance of crap along the bottom of the van, even with it cut 1:1. After I let it soak for a couple of minutes, I sprayed it with my pressure washer and everything came off easily.
Clay w/Meg's Smooth Surface Clay Kit
I prefer the Clay Magic kit, but I was out & this is all I had at the time.
Polish w/Meg's #80
(Applied by PC at speed #5 & Edge 2K Orange Light Cutting Pad)
Protect w/Poorboy's EX Sealant w/Carnauba
(Applied by PC at speed #3 & Edge 2K White Ultra-smooth Polishing Pad)
PB EX w/Carnauba is another product that I love. It's so easy to apply & remove. Since it's a sealant & carnauba in one, it combines the durability of a sealant and the look of a carnauba.
Glass cleaned w/Meg's NXT Glass Cleaner
Trim shined w/Aerospace 303 Protectant
Tires & wheel wells protected w/Meg's Insane Shine Aerosol Protectant
Interior:
Carpets swept w/Rigid Vac
Carpets & floor mats shampooed w/DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner
After lightly spraying the floor mats with DP Carpet & Upholstery Cleaner, I used my pressure washer to rinse away all of the dirt & stains.
Spots treated w/Meg’s Quik Out Carpet Stain Remover
This is a new product from Meg’s for ’07. It was the first chance I had to test it out. It quickly earned a spot in my arsenal. Stains were no match for it. Great product!
Plastics cleaned & protected w/DP Total Interior Cleaner (diluted 1:1) & Interior Surface Protectant
This was my first time using these two products and they are now an asset to my product line-up. The bucket of water you see in the picture below was just from cleaning the plastics w/the DP Interior Cleaner (cut 1:1). The protectant leaves a nice, non-greasy finish.
