04 Kia Sorento detailed for xmas

[pontman43]

This is my Aunt and Uncle's kinda new car. Its a year old and has about 20K on it. The whole time they have owned it they only took it to drive thru washes, luckly its silver. The wheels were horrible! I had to do the detail with limited supplies because I'm in LA for xmas and only brought down neccessities (3 people and an Accord 2dr for 4 days). Didn't have a good nozzle (thought they would have one ) only a couple of MF, nothing of mine for tires, no wheel cleaner and only one thing for interior sufaces and no carpet cleaner.

BTW I only packed for my other Uncle's Mazda 6 (tomorrow) so supplies I brought were limited too.



Process:

EXTERIOR

Wash with NXT

Dry with one WW MF

OCW on paint and windows (ext/int, no good window cleaner) with one MF



INTERIOR

OCP+ on all interior including leather, but followed with Z10 (leather cond) for the sent and because its new Good sent BTW

Vacuumed



WHEELS

Washed with NXT

Followed with NXT All Metal Polysh (I know, its clear coated, but that was all I had to clean wheels that have never been cleaned in a year and it worked great!! I should have taken B/A pics)

Used some weird crappy stuff on tires that dried satin and very uneven

Looks awesome, especially considering the lack of your full arsenal of products!

:werd: Kind of tough when you are that limited. The paint has an especially nice glow.

Nice work. That's what I call a ghetto detail, when you've got pretty much nothing to work with. My Dad drives one of those (he works in another country). When we both went home earlier this year, I was doing a ghetto detail on his other car, with pretty much only products I could get there. It's a pain when you're used to using MFs all the time and suddenly there aren't any!

Recieved this email from my Uncle:



Skye, thanks again for the great job on the car. Feel free to use this pic in your advertising(heh-heh). I just got done washing it MYSELF ( first time in 3 years), and it looks great.



Have a great New Year.



Uncle Dave
