    Customer wanted to bring some life back into this 08 Accord with 85k. Wasn't looking for perfection so settled on an AIO. Accord had heavy RIDS and swirls on the outside and pet hair and thick grime on the inside. Customer took it to a local place in NJ and they refused to detail the car. Sorry no before pics besides the wheels and no sun shots because it was about to rain.

    Paint
    Wash with CG CWG
    Clay with Nanoskin Wash mitt which left marring
    AIO Megs D151 with a dab of DG 105 to extend protection

    PC 3 inc BP LC Hydro Tech Blue

    Interior:

    Wow that's really nice. Those wheels and tires look brand new! Really excellent job and I love that this car isn't a garage queen. Really reminds me of my girlfriends Honda civic that we use to transport our dog and take on long trips. What did you have to wrap up when detailing the engine?

    Thanx, first time for me too. Good thing was I didn't have to polish it lol

    I don't wrap when I clean an engine. Leaf blow, then rinse with power nozzle, then APC with various brushes, then rinse with power nozzle, then start the car and leaf blow. I don't concentrate the water in any one spot, move really fast. Never had an issue.

    Thanx Phil.
