So, today I stole one of my friends cars and did a detail on it for her Christmas present. I was in for a little more than I thought. :scared: :scared:





Wash w/foam gun with Z7

Simple green on engine bay and wheels

Sonus Ultra Fine detailing clay bar

Mother's polish on tailpipes

Folex on carpet and mats

Zaino Z9/10 on leather

Invisglass on windows





Menzerna SIP w/ orange pad

ZPC w/ white pad

Zaino Z5pro w/ZFX

bug and tar remover of some sort. Looks to be tar spots.

A more aggressive clay bar will work.

I have something like that on my Civic. Mine is like stains in the clear coat and won't come off with Zaino, Mothers, or Sonus clay or Menzerna IP with green CCS pad. I just learned to live with it.

I'd be looking at a solvent to remove that stuff as soon as possible. Use a good Tar remover, sovent based cleaner or try WD 40 on the spots.

Another vote here for WD-40. Let sit for a few minutes, take a designated microfiber and they will come right off. Looking forward to seeing the afters!

 

[Mhaynes772]

Just finished the car. My sonus clay bar took all the tar off. Forgot I just ordered that stuff :grinno: . Anyway, I'll have the pictures up tonight! Amazing outcome!!!

That was a car that needed to be stolen. You did a nice turn around for her. Hopes that she likes her Christmas present.



Does the Z7 work well with a foam gun.

 

[mixxer]

did the folex get all the carpet stains out and did you use an extractor?

Yeah, just rinsed the carpet (not pressure washer), sprayed folex and agitated, then vacuumed.

Looks great. Now the hard part is telling to keep it that way! :lol Good luck!

 

[imported_artikxscout]

great stuff on the carpets

 

[gmblack3]

Very nice work Matt! The paint has a nice gloss and the interior looks much better.

 

[azenthusiast]

Nice work! It seemed like the condition kept getting worse in every "before" pic LOL. At first it seemed not too bad, and by the end I did not envy you. Hopefully she appreciates the work you put into it.
