Hey guys, I figured I’d post some of my recent work in this thread. We’ll start with the dirty; a 2004 Honda Pilot that had never been detailed, had transported a dog for quite some time and was black. This one was due for just an enhancement detail, so it received the usual vacuum, air purging of cracks, extensive interior cleaning with Optimum Power Clean, dressing with 1Z cockpit premium and conditioning with the Leather Masters duo. The exterior received an initial decon with CarPro Trix, then everything was clayed, polished with HD Speed on the Rupes on black LC pads, and finally topped with Reload.
