Hey guys, I figure since I picked up a new "pre-owned" vehicle, I might as well show off how I detailed it after picking it up. I was limited on time, but apparently the previous owner had it "detailed" before it was sold to me. Haha, there were so many rust spots and embedded dirt, especially in the rear, the headlight could've used a bit of polishing, and the car had some tiny swirling. Also, the wheels and tires could've used some scrubbing as well so I did what I could. The interior also looked quite clean...but if you lift the seats where they fold, you'll see lots of left over dirt. Anyways, Wash - Pinnacle Soap Wheels & Tires - ARO on tires, Zep Citrus 3:1 wheel wells, Auto Glym wheel wash Clay - Riccardo blue clay + lube Polish - Menzerna 106ff Klasse AIO Klasse SG before: lots of rust spots wheels (they all looked like this): interior: claying: wheels: after wheels: my polish: After: interior: flakes popping: A detailer almost never has the time or energy to work on their own car, and I demonstrated that is indeed the case. I hope my half assed job on my own car isn't a reflection of all my work.
i must say silver one of the more difficult colors to photograph besides white came out pretty good man. Volvo looks great. I can't believe that some people when owning a car just can't find it in them to take care of the damn thing. They never cleaned the wheels or never vacuumed the car? It came out looking great though for sure.
Thanks buddy, but it sure helped in negotiating for this car. It's fully loaded with every option save for 2, and the fact that it was dirty saved me several hundred dollars .
Very nice! Lovely Volvo as well, I like the design of these. I drove one of them a few years back, and it was a diesel but I was amazed how peppy the thing was.
Thanks. Volvos I find are phenomenal value cars. They stopped marketing, so people forgot about them. Their designs are great, very ergonomical, safe, quite stylish with accessories and good power train. Pre-owned, they are PHENOMENAL value. The T5 AWD package is great. Compared to a car of a similar price (2007 Civic or 2008 corolla? lol).
