10 years, 4 kids, 3 dogs, 1 horse, a long dirt road, and a vehicle that has never been detailed.
This vehicle belongs to my girls' parents. She was between cars and needed a vehicle, so they let her borrow it. My girl bought a new car a week later and I've had it the last few weeks at my disposal. She wanted to clean it to show her appreciation...I though it made for a good extreme makeover.
Total time invested was about 22 hours.
Process:
Wash - Gold Class
Clay - Aggressive Clay
Step 1 - M105 Via rotary and wool cutting pad
Step 2 - M66 via flex and W8207 pad
Wax - NXT 2.0
Exterior cleaning - APC+
Wheels - Wheel Brightner
Interior Cleaning vinyl/leather - APC
Carpet - APC+ (Hand scrubbed, followed with LGM)
Leather conditioner - Gold Class
Engine/Wheel Well Drsesing - Water Based Dressing
Tires - 303 Aerospace
Interior dress - 303 Aerospace
Weather stripping - 303 Aerospace
Tail/Head lights - M105 followed by PlastX
Chrome - Hot Rims Chrome polish
Before
Major spillage...I removed the front seats to get at it better.
Interior was dusty
Seats were pretty dirty and the dye was wearing off the front ones
Door panels were not too bad but the speaker grills have gotten dirty over the years.
Back center console
Exterior
Visible paint scuffs
Balck trim was oxidized
Rubbers on the back were brown from the dirt road
Tires/wheel wells...dirt road evidence
Engine
All taped up...
Tail lights
It was very hard to capture the true condition of the paint but you should get the idea. Some RIDS remained but without a PTG I wasn't going to push it.

After 105/M66
