2005 Cadillac Escalade. This is the one I posted a few weeks ago after my son detailed the interior. Time for wax again, didn't need any polishing, still looked good from the last exterior detail in May. Just went over it with Poorboy's EX w/carnauba by hand.

We also washed their 2004 Lexus SC430. Real garage queen so I mostly use Pinnacle Souveran on it. This is how it look a full 6 weeks after applying Souveran by hand. Just washed it with Optimum No Rinse. No QD either. The deep Souveran look is holding up very well....but then again, the car is rarely driven in rain and only around 200 miles a month in nice weather!

Damn Scott!

Nice looking even though I feel decieved!!!



Man you can make red and black look so nice and wet.



Would not expect anything less!
 
2004 Lexus LX470. A couple years old, never detailed, just run through the touch free at the gas station about once a week. Both interior and exterior were in decent shape though, the exterior was suprisingly swirl free but needed some heavy claying. The mats were pretty bad too but the rest in and out were pretty easy.



Rear mat before:

Half cleaned with water/Woolite and the Cyclo:

All done, should have brushed it out a bit more evenly for the pic though. Those aren't stains in the edge of the mat, just not all brushed in one direction.

The whole interior was cleaned with Woolite/water and dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus.

The exterior was clayed, then polished with Werkstatt's Prime using white Cyclo finishing pads and sealed with Acrylic Jett. I tried to capture the pearl flake when the sun was out but it didn't turn out as good as I'd hoped.

Hey Scott, quick question. With the mats did you just apply the woolite mix by spray bottle and then just scrub scrub scrub? But in your case its with the cyclo. And then you vacuumed it up?

That lexus is so wet, is there anything below the Souveran?

More Souveran and I think a coat of Werkstatt's Carnauba Jett.



I haven't polished it in a while, just doesn't need it. Probably more than a year since I polished it with Prime and sealed with Acryic Jett.

Spray, scrub with the Cyclo (and you can literally see the dirt just disappear!), wipe, vac and wipe again so all the carpet fibers are going in one direction.

always use a towel to "mop up your mess" first before vacuuming. :2thumbs:
 
and do you ever use the cyclo on the interior carpet or only the mats? if so do you find it hard to get the corners and edges inside?

at the moment i only own roterys and GEM orbitals but wanting to venture out towards a cyclo or pc.



also do you recommend any one for the san-ant. area? (for my family)

Yeah, we use the Cyclo on the interior, works great in minivans and the back are of SUVs. Can be a little awkward in smaller cars to use.



Anthony Orosco is in the San Antonio area.

I've noticed the same thing during the winter when I'm using the touchfree a lot, it always makes my car need a lot of claying too.



Great work! I might have to get a brush for my PC...
 
Great work Scott.



It seems like you can get into "some" tighter places with the PC and the aqua brush. Removing the handle on the PC seems to help too. I'll bet you knock out the larger carpet areas and mats quick with the cyclo.
 
Looking good as always. IN regards to the woolite, which one do you actually use? I know there are a few versions (Foaming, liquid detergent, etc)? Also, when you say you use it to clean the whole interior, do you do the dash, plastic trim, and leather seats too?
