GOT PREP?
This is my brother's car, yes we share DNA and have the same parents. :) The car has not been washed in YEARS. I waxed it in 98, to my knowledge that is the only time it has ever been waxed.

Before on the interior, this after I cleaned out everything "big."

Afer on the interior, i replaced the floormats so keep that in mind. The vinyl is dressed with meguiars natural shine (maroon bottle). On the interior carpets I used an APC with the little green clean machine. Some of the grass had welded itself to the carpet so......

Here is the exterior after. I spent almost 2 hours cleaning just the wheels, they could use about 2 more. I used an acid based wheel cleaner and an assortment of brushes.

On the paint, I washed, clayed, DACP w/ yellow meg's pad @5.5, then topped with NXT. I was tired, I started about 9:00 and finished up around 4:30.

You did a great job cleaning the interior of your brother's car. Please post pics of the outside when you finish.
 
I just had to laugh. You did one great job on that car. I'd love to know what your brother said after you were done. My first thought after seeing the pics of the interior were that he must surely view his car as mere transportation; Something quite alien to those of us on DC! :)
 
I think I would demand a recount on the DNA test.:lmfao :rolling :rolling J/K I have a brother that's the same way. Great work.

DUDE. Awesome job. :bigups The only way that thing has survived his obvious abuse is that it is a Toyota!

But WHY did you agree to do that? :confused: Is he still threatening to tell Mom about some teenage indiscretion? If so, I suggest you get something on him and then threaten him into picking up a vacuum (not to mention a bucket). :LOLOL

Or worse...does Mom have something on you and guilted you into it? :rolling

He he. Great job though. You obviously have that genetic flaw that makes you really upset to see others be sloppy.
 
What a big turnaround!! What was the paint condition after using just DACP? Was it single stage?

Regardless, it looks super :bigups
 
That looks like my brother's car!! Only he never takes the "big" stuff out of the interior.

Well it did look like my brothers car I should say.

Looking good!!
 
It would have taken me 7 hours to get ready to do that interior. Great job. What did your brother say to you after you were finished?:bigups
 
EBP,

Nice transformation! That car looks in good shape for over 200,000 miles!

P.S...... I think you need to give your brother a "beating" (If he really is your brother :D )! :lmfao
 
Holy cow! You deserve a Purple Heart. Very nice work. Now like Boss said, go "educate" your brother.

Natty
 
WOW :bigscream

That interior was horrible, great job. The entire vehicle no longer looks like it is a vehicle with over 200k on it. The wheels really looked great after. Nice work EBP :bigups
 
Thanks everyone! You know doing cars like this makes ALL others pretty muh a cake walk!

Keeotee, his response was something along the lines of " I can't believe it is the same car." It is definitely just transportation to him. :(

Jeffbruce, well it could have used another 7, but maybe next time. :)

Gary Jones, I will look into that DNA test, we don't look THAT much alike........:wait

Hisurftension, yep this car should be as advertisement for Toyota!
I cleaned as a favor, nothing else. One day I will need that favor returned.....

Andriver and tkr128, thanks a lot!

Nick0844, thanks man, the paint was BC/CC I have a feeling that if it would have been SS it would been a lot hareder to get results. Especially since the paint was white. The paint was OK after DACP, but obviosly could have benefited from more prep.

Dalmore, mine never takes the "big stuff" out either. He might now though( I hope). :)

rabbi, I know what you mean. I got a really good nights rest going into it!

Thanks Boss, I am going to look into a DNA test soon! :lmfao

Natty, thanks, I will do what I can to bring him over the OCD group we call detailers. :)

nthnggd2say, thanks atleast he can step into the car now without getting dirty!

Thanks again to everyone for the kind words!
