  • 2005 Buick Rendezvous

    Saturday I got to work on the interior of a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. The interior was in need of a good cleaning, so I got to hone my carpet cleaning skills a little more.

    Products used:
    Orange blast - pre-treatment
    Folex carpet cleaner - used after extracting orange blast
    Power washer - for the mats
    Little Green Machine - extractor
    Meguiar's Vinyl and Rubber Protectant, natural shine
    Meguiar's applicator pad

    Here are the mats before:




    After:



    Driver and Passenger floor before







    After: I didn't get any shots of the floor before the mats went in. I'll get those and update in a couple days. They came out great, though!






    Cargo Before: the discoloration is from a plant that turn over and all of the water spilled out. The "tar" spot....???



    After: Can't really see it, but the "tar" spot didn't get completely removed. I work on it for quite some time, and was able to get some of it removed. However the plant water stain came out great!




    Here are some other pics.
    NOTE: I'M NOT REAL GOOD AT TAKING PICS AND THIS IS MY FIRST PICTURE POST SO I'VE GOT A LONG WAY TO COME WITH DOCUMENTATION. SORRY!!!

    Driver Seat before and after





    Well, if you're read this far you've got a lot of patience, so thank you!!!
    There are more pics in my gallery, but I hope you get the general idea. This coming weekend KerrinJeff and I are gonna polish up the outside.

    Please comment on any improvements I can make. Thanks again

                Thanks for all of the positive feedback everybody!!
                I was able to get the after photos without the mats. They came out pretty good, but the mats' imprints makes it difficult to see.

                Driver:

                        Re: 2005 Buick Rendezvous

                        i only have one suggestion. it looks great though!

                        suggestion: if you are using a shop vac or something similar. you can make it appear cleaner if you use it to make opposing lines "up" and "back" which may make it appear even more perfectly prepared. i will post up pictures of my thoughts tomorrow after i finish a carpet shampoo in a malibu maxx.

                            Do it! I signed up for the Sep 6 class - Jeff & I were looking at the full image size (3888x2592) pictures of my bike tank detail at work today.

                            On a break of course...

                            Not on company time...

                            Ever...

                              I've gotta get one of those cameras that Ron has. When I was looking at the reflection of myself on his gas tank I could count the whiskers on my chin
