2005 Honda Odyssey, light blue metallic, grey/blue interior.
This vehicle is owned by a neighbor who sold it private sale and wanted it cleaned up for the new owner.
The interior was okay, the mats had some ingrained dirt and dog hair (they own a Golden Retreiver) and the back seat and rear interior glass had "nose prints" all over them.
The paintwork was in decent condtion, some scratches from the dog, some deeper ones and some road tar on the lower panels.
The Process:
Tire and wheel assemblies: Tires were cleaned with CAR Products Maxiwhite tire cleaner, wheels were cleaned with CAR Products Magnum wheel cleaner, wheel wells were cleaned with ZepCitrus in a 50/50 solution. via pressure washer. Wheel wells were dressed with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing, tires dressed with Meguiar's Endurance.
Paintwork: Washed with Meguiar's Gold Class, clayed with Meguiar's blue detailing clay using soapy water as a lubricant. Road tar was removed by first spraying with CAR Products Solv-All (similar to Dupont's Prep-Sol) and wiped down with a meshed sponge, then washed and clayed again.
The deeper scratches were wet sanded with 3M 2000 grit sandpaper. The paintwork was buffed with Meguiar's #2 Fine Cut Cleaner with a Meguiar's foam cutting pad via rotary, polished with Meguiar's #9 Swirl Remover 2.0 and a Meguiar's polishing pad via PC, then the finish was waxed using Meguiar's NXT times 2 using a 3M finishing pad via PC.
Interior: The interior was vacuumed, the leather seating surfaces were cleaned and conditioned with Lexol, the interior plastics were cleaned with Zep Citrus mixed 75/25 via microfiber and treated with Meguiar's Hyper Dressing.
The carpets just needed a light misting with Zep Carpet and upholstery cleaner and wet vacuumed. As I stated earlier, the mats had ingrained dirt and dog hair. They were scrubbed with Zep Carpet cleaner and extracted with my Bissell LGM.
Glasswork: Interior and exterior glass was cleaned with Stoner's Invisible Glass and microfibers, exterior glass treated with RainX.
Engine Compartment: Misted with Zep Citrus 50/50 and wiped down, treated with Meguiar's Hyper dressing.
Total time: 6 hours
