Fairly extreme makeover on a white GSR *56K?* vapor lock

So you basically blast with steam (no attachment) and then wipe with the towel?



Interesting choice with Hyper 1:1 on the interior. I never thought to use it that way with all the dedicated interior dressings.



Did you do the usual NXT Metal Polysh on the wheels? Since you've done that a few times, I picked up a jar to try out on some neglected clear coated wheels. Eagle One now makes a Nano metal polish that you can use on clear coated wheels. Thought I'd mention that to you because I know you use the NXT on wheels.

Exactly, the only areas that I do not blast are the areas that are water sensitive such as the power window switches, cruise control, etc. When I blased the steering wheel, black "suff" just kept pouring off, it actually changed the color of the steering wheel. :D



Yeah, I like hyper-dressing on interiors, typically I would used #40, but I reached for the hyper-dressing instead. No particular rhyme or reason, just wanted to use it. :)



I did not use a polish on the wheels for this particular detail, but I would have used the NXT if I had. I like to use the NXT or the Mirror glaze all-metal polish (which I am out of) when polishing clear coated wheels. I use a little spot pad kit that attaches to my drill that works great!! I will have to check out the nano polish when my current metal polish supply gets thin, have you tried it?

Amazing turn around, especially on the interior. The seat track is filthy though :LOLOL

LOL, yeah, I brushed/vac'ed what I could, but didn't want to steam it for fear of removing the lubricating "grease" that was there.
 
Huge improvement! That interior is almost as nasty as that Civic I did a few weeks ago. :nervous2:



The only thing I see you missed was some build-up in the front passenger seat track. I find old toothbrushes work great on those areas. The rest of the interior-magnificent!
 
That Hi-Temp trim restorer looks amazing...How durable is it? Great work...bookmarked it for future reference :) Gotta love white when properly prepped and all trim dressed.
 
Wow! Really awesome restoration. Someone REALLY needs to paint those wiper arms black again though. I had to do that to my Honda Prelude once upon a time. Really easy, cheap way to really wrap up a restoration.

Yep, the wheel wells needed a coat of undercoating too. :D I use SEM trim black on the wipers and the SEM rubberized undercoating, both are excellent products. I should have suggested these services to the client, but I think he was more concerned with getting it "clean." :D
 
Excellent as always!!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :xyxthumbs



Scottwax beat me to it - the only time I've ever seen you miss a spot. I use my steamer to get all that stuff out of there.

Yech. It was painful looking at all those before pics, especially the interior. With paint, some people don't know any better, but that interior is just ... yuck.

After pics are so much nicer to look at.
 
it doesn't count as detailing when you go out and buy new interior carpets for the customer you know. :grinno:



excellent detail
