  • A few good maintenence details

    Here are a few cars I wash and detail weekly. Its amazing how easy a vechile is to clean up when its been maintained weekly. Whether it be the wheels, tires, or even interior.

    Process is the same for both cars.

    - Wash with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner.
    - Dry with Water Magnets and Ultimate Quik Wax as a drying aid.
    - Dress wheel wells and tires with Hyper-Dressing 2:1.
    - Clean glass with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
    - Vacumm and then wipe down all interior surfaces with Quik Interior Detailer

        We always tell people in our classes how important maintenance is, and how routine maintenance is so much easier than a full correction.

        You've just reinforced this beautifully, Nick. Very nice!

          Tuck I always wish we lived a bit closer so when I'm feeling lazy or just resentful of my wife and kids destroying my hard work on the DD I could pass it to you

            as Michaels ''prevention is better than cure''

            just a couple of simple steps & making yr paint last for a life time


            some mathematics
            is it cheaper to preemptive maintenance or respray

            what effort cost compare to $$$?
            it only takes a little patience and plenty of PASSION!!

                  They can afford a new Venza but can't afford all season floor mats? Hmm.

                  Maybe they just like the look of balled up dirty towels on their floorboards.

                    I dont know Colin. I just do the best I can with what I have to work with, and thats throwing them in the washer and dryer.

                      How are you doing your winter washing? Has the weather been nice enough to wash these cars outside?

                        I wish. It was freezing outside today. I have a heated garage , its a bit small but it works.

                          I hear ya. I don't think I could stand having folded towels under my feet while I drive. Just seems a bit dangerous.

                          At least you ran them through the washer and dryer for them. You're such a great guy.

                            They look great. That is the key. Do a regular maintenance on the vehicles. Great work as alaways.
