This is my Mother’s Rav4 that needed some help! I had to tell her I was planning on stealing it from the airport parking lot to detail it while she was on vacation. I had to ask her to save me the trouble of figuring out where she parked it and of course the potential of being arrested. She would finally agree to let me take care of it. She does not understand why I like to do this :giggle: :shrug: Products used: Eagle One This worked great on the rims and the tires. Anthony.. I am trying to find products that work in mulitple areas. I appreciate the suggestion :thumb: So far I have found 1 :giggle: SCG Road Trip Grime Destroyer Black Magic dressing and I don’t like it! SCG Absolute Perfect Polish CG Citrus Wash & Gloss PB Bug Squash and Pinnacle sponge Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Megs QD XMT 3 mixed with DG501 in some spots XMT 360 with DG501 Klasse HGSG – 1 coat Then I took it to the dealership for 60K service. Once I got it back I tried two new products Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer and OPT Opti-Seal. I could not wait to try them! I was very impressed with both!!! Thanks Integrity! In the final pics I didn’t touch things up like the windows, rims and mud flaps. I will be leaving the car in the airport parking lot for her today and it will just get pollen all over it anyway. Plus……. she does not really care :rollinglaugh: I was very impressed with the Eagle One. Normally I use a wheel cleaner and then ARO on the tires. The Eagle One did great on both. Befores Nasty bugs!! Ed I took this shot for you. I understand what you are saying...... After I got all the dirty off this is what I really started with. :thumb: Half way done polishing. Afters The before of the headlights didn't turn out but... I am very impressed!!!!!! Trust me it was bad! :thud: She had a lot of dog hair in the back. I didn’t try to get all of it out. She said why bother….trying to get it all. It will just get dirty again. I don’t care about the back that is his area. :rollinglaugh: She takes that dog everywhere!!!!! She said I don’t even bother to get his nose prints off the window anymore. :rollinglaugh: Oops.. I forgot the afters of the engine.. I will get them and post up later.
Good lord that looks great for white!!! I'm really diggin that driver's side shot! Great turn-around Tonya!
Excellent work Tonya. That white is really blingin'. See you shouldn't have veered away from CGs VRP, now it feels all betrayed and such so you better break it out soon, LOL!
Thanks! :worship2:Sparkie told me adding the DG 501 with the 360 is like adding steriods to it :giggle: Thanks Sparkie! :applause2: It worked great! Thanks JL!! I will wipe it down before I take it to the airport. I am sure this crap will SLING!!! :thud: ::doh: I don't know what I was thinking. It was just a good car to try new products on. :shead: I love the Opti-Seal!!!!:applause2: Thanks Integrity!!!
That white is poppin... very nice job!!! :mounty: Don't you just love the chance to experiment??? Dave
Tonya.. those are some nasty bugs and tars.. good job... Ive also used eagle one and they work well and fast...
Nice job on the RAV! Eagle One looks impressive, any agitation to clean the wheel or spray on and rinse off?
Even if momma don't care she will be impressed. That white is blinding make sure you give her some sunglasses :thumb:
Thanks Dave! I did enjoy trying the new products!!!! Thank you! Thanks Jason.. yep I did enjoy taking care of it for her. It's the least I could do... it was one of her belated Mothers day gifts. I think she liked her hanging baskets more:giggle: Thanks! Thank you! Agitation was done.. I just sprayed it on and took the pic. I was impressed. However if you go back and look it made the rotor rusty. Thanks! She has seen the thread today.. she was impressed. I did... I just forgot to take a pic - oops! Thank you Jiimme!!! :applause2:
tonya..great job on your mom's ride! The funny thing is she'll go to the airport parking lot and call the police b/c her car was stolen..she won't recognize it.."Officer, it was right here where this new one is parked..look it even has the same license plate as mine" LOL
Always take care of your mom cause she took care of you! Great Detailing there for sure! I'm results oriented so I get kinda bummed when I do a white or silver car because they usually don't POP, you mom's is an exception; I've never said white looks wet before today! I'm glad you liked the OPT stuff and next time try the Powerclean and Eagle One head to head on some front wheels, tires, and wells and let me know how it compares. It can do the bugs and tar too; it's one of those products like you mentioned that can keep you from carrying a caddy around just to do wheel areas. The OPC I sent is diluted 3:1 so it can be stronger if needed. I know that it probably KILLED you to walk away from the dog hair; she could get one of these: Padded Cargo Liner
:applause: Outstanding :applause: Love that color....You have it so glossy....Looks like it just came out of a gloss factory...I want my engine pic!icture::woot:
