  • 04 Honda Accord

    Happy Friday to everybody!! Hope you had a great week.
    KerrinJeff and I detailed an Accord last night that ended up being more work than I thought. The owner takes her small dog with her everywhere, so there was dog hair EVERYWHERE. To make matters worse, some of the interior was velour and that made it extremely difficult to get the hair out. My shopvac did very little in the way of the hair, fortunately an old Oreck was made available to us that had a nice little set of bristles that picked up a lot of it. However the Little Green Machine did a great job and got the rest. The paint had a lot of scuffs that the owner wanted minimized at the least, and removed at the best.
    Products used:
    Meg's mild clay
    UQD
    Vinyl and Rubber Natural shine
    APC+ (10to1)
    Flex with M80 & LC Orange pad
    M105 by hand (one area)
    NXT 1.0 applied w/ flex on LC Black pad

    Luckily, most of the scratches were paint from door dings, so the clay easily removed most of them. The rest came off with one pass of the 80 on the flex. There was one area that the 80 didn't remove completely, so M105 was applied by hand. That scratch is all but gone.

    Interior before:

    Kinda hard to see all the dog hair, but it was everywhere.

    There were plenty more, but you get the idea. Now a few interior after pics.






    Oh, this is what the LGM extracted from just the mats


    I know its a long write-up, but Jeff and I thank you all for looking!
    P.S. Anybody have a good way for getting hair off of carpets any easier than what we had to go through?
    The power of the flex compells you!!!

              Great work as usual guys. The car looks fantastic.

              On my daughters car, she had 2 dogs. To clean hers up we used one of those hair and lint extractors. It worked very well for us.

              Once again great work guys.

                "P.S. Anybody have a good way for getting hair off of carpets any easier than what we had to go through?"

                Try an adhesive lint roller, which is also good for tidying up canvas soft tops. Lots of tear offs and a lot of rolling, but it gets it all. I saw an industrial sized model for detailing somewhere in my web travels, but the regular clothing model will work well.

                  Great job guys. For dag hair another thing you can use it Doctors gloves, the white latex type. Put them on and brush the hair with your hands

                    Nice job. Did you by chance clean the carpet on the dash? I laugh when I see those.

                      I did do that. I wear gloves when I do the rubber and vinyl protectant, and I thought I read that somewhere on here before (maybe it was you??) I did work, but the little balls of hair it created just got stuck to the carpet / velour, so I was in the same boat!! The LGM got it, but man a lot of work!
                      Thanks for all the suggestion group. I started an 03 mustang tonight and will finish that up in the morning. Hopefully I'll get picks posted tomorrow...

                            I hate those carpet dash pads though, they look rediculous

                              Pet hair is a PAIN. I have two labs, one yellow and one chocolate. I use the pet hair brush to pull the hair out of the carpet.
                              If its fast, loud, and runs on a flammable liquid...count me in.
