This car got a full detail from me using the same procedure you are all familiar with now. It's a shame a don't have a better camera. With the low light, I just couldn't hold the camera steady enough for good finished pictures. The paint looks fantastic though, I was amazed at the level of correction I got out of it with a 1 stage. the pictures are horribly unorganized but I refuse to lose more of my day fighting with photobucket. nterior Eureka Enviro Steamer Bissel LGM Rigid WD4070 Shop vac - auto detailing kit Spray 'n wash aerospace 303 tarminator (yeah thats right I had to resort to tarminator on some panels and the carpet!) zep citrus stoner's invisible glass Leather Lexol PH leather Cleaner Lexol Leather Conditioner Wheels Tires each wheel took me around half an hour to get the barrels clean. multiple applications of everything. zep citrus raceglaze XL raceglaze bursh set wheel brightener 4:1 tarminator duragloss 253 dressing Exterior zep citrus presoak riccardo foam cannon with DP extreme foam raceglaze brush set eshine's sheepskin mitt durgloss shampoo with 2 Buckets tarminator Uber yellow foam pads porter cable 7242xp Menzerna Power finish Collinite 845 (2 coats) stoner's trim shine stoner's invisible glass P21S Polishing Soap
wow that was filthy. but organizing makes all the difference in write up. i usualy spend about 2 hours doing write up
Thanks Misha. I fixed it can you guess my client's profession? lol I just noticed some things in the before pictures and chuckled.
The end of an era I've yet to see an 09. Some small interior changes I see. Nice work. Looks good. That thing was filthy.
I was sporting wood the whole time doing this car. the honda paint corrects so nicely. such a better paint job than that edge I did! smooth as glass, for a factory painted car!
Thank you! I used one pad and cleaned it half-way through with some ZC. hosed it out, rung the water out, spun it on the PC then soaked it with my IPA spray, and another "spin" cycle. good as new!
took me 10 hrs. I started at 8:00am. I had the interior done and was ready for polishing at about 1:00 I think. I spent a lot of time going over little details on this car waxed the door jambs and filler neck area, two coats of wax on everything etc. I wanted it perfect and did three final walk-arounds on separate occasions. it really helps that there are only two seats, so the interior went pretty fast. I still steamed the seat rails, and extracted the carpet behind the seat, treated the back of the seat etc. etc. because of it's size, it was really fun to do a thorough job on the car. by no means a super thorough 100 hour detail you see on here from time to time. the paint is far from perfect. just a really solid 1 stage job.
Slanguage loves his S2K's Amazing, that car is awesome, You did a killer job, super super clean, Interior was done soooooo perfect. I love it.
thanks TJ. I think that things like the interior work is what seperates us (the DB community) from the "other" local guys. it seems everybody on here really wants to take it to the next level, get the job done properly more than just quickly. no stains, nothing in the cracks, the right products used in the right places. no streaks anywhere. I think making a car feel new again can be made or broken with the interior, because there are so many places to go wrong. usually when I give interior quotes I get "really, that long?" and I respond with, "yes, because i'll actually detail it." every single customer i've had has been more than happy with the interior work. it's funny isn't it? that it's not too hard to impress? it seems nobody (except for us) knows how to do something properly anymore, in a world of franchises and making a fast dollar. I have a few more (non blurry) interior pictures, but have no interest in breaking DB rules, as they have my business cards in them
Nice save! I guess it was so dirty from being a convertible and lack of regular cleaning. Final results look better than new!
Great job. The interior was really transformed. I dont understand how people drive around in such filth. Its mind boggling.
