Hey guys, this car was my very first customer so I thought I would post it up and hopefully get some comments. I did not polish this car, just a wash, wax, engine bay detail, and interior detail. The car was pretty clean when I got it, so it is not much of a turn around, but I thought I did a good job. The customer was very happy and I set him up on a weekly wash schedule with me! He also showed me his show truck which he wants me to do soon. Anyway, on to the detail.
The car when I got it:
I did a pre-wash soak with dawn and sprayed a citrus degreaser on the especially grimy sections
The paint was in good condition, so I only needed claying on certain areas, here is the clay after doing the trunk
After claying I applied a layer of Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 and let it cure while I detailed the engine bay. I sprayed Black Magic Protectant, rubbed it around into every corner, and let it sit for a couple of minutes, and wiped it clean.
After that I wiped off the sealant residue with a microfiber towels, and cleaned the doorjambs with Meguiar’s APC. Then I turned my attention to the interior. The owner is a heavy smoker so there was ash EVERYWHERE. And I mean everywhere. I spent about three hours total just on the interior. Here are some before pictures.
Ash ash ash all over the place

Drivers Mat before
And after Meguiar’s APC and 303 Cleaner and Spot Remover
I first vacuumed the entire cabin and then sprayed Meguiar’s APC on the carpets and mats, scrubbed them with a hard bristle brush, and vacuumed them dry with my shop vac. I cleaned all the leather with Lexol leather cleaner and then conditioned with Lexol leather conditioner. Here is the final product.
