This is the derivative of the Daihatsu Move Custom. Owner wanted it to be detailed in and out. It took me around 30hours to complete the whole car But before that:
First and foremost, I apologize for the lack of "befores" as majority of the pictures taken were corrupted thus unusable.
So here goes, car went in on Friday night.
Steps:
Engine:
Wheels
Body:
Correction:
Interior:
Note: Opted to wash the car first as to lessen the next day's work load
Here's pictures of the car after being washed. Took only a few picture as it was very late.
I hope my neighbors wont be irritated by the sound of my PW.
More pictures taken during the process.
Owner is a fan of cleaner waxes (Japanese products) and slapped wax all over the car including the plastic parts. Pain to clean them up
Bondo!! Lots and lots of bondo
Now all the emblems throughout the car are "detailed"
Corrections on taillights

After Correction
Pardon the background music. First time posting videos.
Finale for different parts of the vehicle
Engine Afters:
Interior After:
No more dirt on the pedals.
Louvers all cleaned up.
No more grease/dirt stains.
Shine not from M40. Its just the plastic.
Wheels After:
Wheel barrel all cleaned up.
Reflections on various part of the cars paint:
Here is a short video showing 50/50 on the lower door panel
Sorry for the noisy background
And finally the full exterior shots of the whole car:
Just water condensation from morning startup.
Had few minutes to spare before owner went to pick the car up:
Spare tire was wiped with ONR and waxed with Duragloss Aquawax. Tire was sealed with M40.
Keys were a little bit dirty so gave some final touches on it namely:
GooGone on the gunk. All metal polish on the aloy part of the key. Plastic on M40
After all the work, I was happy to see the car at a better condition and also thrilled to see the customer awed on the overall job result. I also taught him on how to preserve the shine and gave him around 10oz of M21 2.0.
Thank you for reading and comments and suggestion are welcomed.
