I don’t feel bad now for how long it takes to wash my vehicles when they look like that 2-2.5 hrs is normal. Rinseless takes me roughly 1-1.5 hrs pending how dirty. Add clay and clean and it a lot more.

I’ve got one I’ll post pics up off because I need some insight. Will get some later or tomorrow

Pretty much all I seem to do is large SUVs and full size pickups. Done 1 care exterior and it got a wash and wax. And 1 car interior and it was basically new. Goes to show what people drive around here lol.

I am glad though that I’m in that neighborhood for wash, clay, dry. Must be learning some tips and trick from all of you pros

He’s not finished. He said he has until Tuesday to finish so 3 days I’d guess interior, pain correction and possibly a coating

It`s not getting a coating just a good sealant after doing a 2 step, and then a full interior with 3rd row seating all leather. The only thing going my way so far is that they had weather tech floor mats. I had planned on 3-3.5 hrs for wash and clay, and I have a photographer friend coming tonight for photos for my website

I feel the pain good sir. Just did wifes last weekend and it’s about 18-24” shorter overall so thankfully not as much real estate. But it’s got 3 row with leather. I was a horrible person and hadn’t done the interior since July. Needless to say it took a lot. I want weathertechs but Lordy are they proud for 3 rows and the back cargo liner. I know I’m getting them prior to next winter though. Just gonna have to bite that bullet. Only way it would be nice is if there was no carpet. But I don’t know many folks that like the vinyl floor look.

50/50s, first one is before and buff with bf src compound on b&s eurofiber and second is buff and polish polished with menz final finish on b&s euro foam pad yellow. I`m not going any fine or deeper as I`m not getting paid for it.

Got the explorer in. Man it looks rough. Plan is a rinseless, 10 degrees out so no 2bm even though I’d like to. Iron remover and rinse with rinseless. Clay and one step. Then the inside is getting cleaned up. Main goal is to make the floor look better. Imo the seats are in ok shape for 217k. Then clean the rest. We will see what the afters look like but here are befores.

Any pointers for this interior are welcome.

Going to start later.

Picked up some space heaters and a bissel proheat spot cleaner. That’ll help with this. Think I’m just gonna pull the seats out and deal with it this way.

Winter in MN.
We’re having snow and fluctuations in temperatures, which makes for a Yuck Muck Mess on the roads.

Was looking into an undercarriage sprayer, the one I think would fit my Malibu is 100$ ! !

So out comes the pressure washer and the 3 extensions that I already have

I picked up this 3 wheeled furniture mover,
5 $ at Menards.

This is my working end with angle and rubber cover, added an extra angle adapter plus white tip.

Velcro straps, front and back of rubber to hold it all stable.
QC`s snapped the 3 pieces together, for about a 5 foot length.

This was literally a Blast !!

Finished up with my Canon and the soap I chose had nonexistent foam

Switched to a much foamier shampoo, plus I think the canon is something I need to upgrade.

My wax choice, because of the Montan . Hopefully it will last out the next couple months

She’s in need of a serious polish, as soon as spring is near.
I would like to coat the wheels as well.
