  • 2008 Ford Explorer

    This was an exterior detail only. The lady just wanted a wash/clay/wax and the tar removed from the lower panels. Washing this truck took a long time since the wheels and tires as well as the wheelwells were very dirty. Before starting I first thought the wheels were aluminum, then I as I started washing I realized they were in fact chrome wheels. The whole detail only took about five hours.

    Products Used:

    Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner
    Deep Crystal Car Wash
    Wheel Brightener
    All Purpose Cleaner
    Body Solvent
    Microfiber Wash Mitt
    Versa Angle Wheel Brush
    Versa Angle Tire Brush
    Water Magnet Microfiber Drying Towel
    Detailing Clay (Mild)
    Last Touch Spray Detailer
    #20 - Polymer Sealant
    All Season Dressing
    Hyper-Dressing

      Looks beautiful. The weather didn't look all that great, though.

                      Great job! Did you use wheel brightener on those wheels, or did you stop using it after you realized they where chrome? And, how do you like the body solvent. I have been using stoners tarminator, and it works, but I often have to apply it 2 sometimes 3 times to get all the tar off.

                        Thank you sir.

                        I used Wheel Brightener on all the wheels, I just made sure the wheels were cold to the touch since Wheel Brightener does not get along with hot wheels.

                        I like Body Solvent a lot. I purchased a gallon of it back in June, and I am almolst out of it. The key when using it is to spray it on, then let it dwell on the affected area as long as possible. By doing that I have gotten some really awesome results.
