GOT PREP?
Today I had the pleasure of detailing a Toyota Highlander Hybrid. Some of you may recognize the driveway, as this is the same guy who owns the black SC cobra that I detailed not too long ago. Detailing for this guy is AWESOME!!! His cars are always in great shape, he appreciates the small things that are synonymous with “detailing,� and he even bought me lunch. 
The paint was in great shape, just had some very light dealer installed swirls.
Process was:
Clean engine by hand with Costco APC 10:1 and a few MF towels. I really couldn’t see spraying this sucker down with PW.
Wash
Wheels cleaned with acid 50/50, then pressure washed
Tires and wheel wells cleaned with APC 10:1
Clay with Meguiars aggressive clay, tons of “gunk� on the white paint
Apply OCP with the PC and a polishing pad
Remove residue with OCW
Apply another application of OCW this time including glass, paint, chrome, headlights, tail lights, and wheels (separate MF of course).
Tires dressed with HD
Glass cleaned with NXT and a Meguiars ultimate wipe
The interior was in great shape, just needed a little cleaning up.
Vac
Clean everything with APC 10:1 with a MF
Dress leather with Medallion leather cleaner/conditioner
Pressure wash all-season matts
Polish all “wood� trim with klasse AIO
Door jams treated with AIO and OCW
Sorry for the poor lighting, it was overcast ALL day.
