2008 Chrysler Town & Country, only 28,000 miles on the clock. The owner just drove to Florida and back recently, so he wanted it cleaned and protected. Client dropped it off yesterday afternoon around 4pm, needed it back by noon the next day.
Its fairly new and they do not let their two kids just trash it, It is in pretty good shape actually, barely any swirls or scratches either.
A few befores:
Washed the wheels, tires, and wells with Deep Crystal Car Wash, All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Brightener, and various brushes.
Trim piece cleaned the same way as well:
Bugs and tar were treated with Body Solvent and a rolled up wash mitt to scrub the bugs off, the whole van was then washed with Shampoo Plus.
Letting the soap solution dwell to loosen up the bugs:
After a nice long wash, and drying with several Water Magnets.
I clayed the paint with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer, then machine cleaned the paint, chrome trim, and plastic with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) and several W8207 pads with my PC at speed 4. The tires were dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner and the trim was dressed with Ultimate Protectant. The wheelwells were dressed with All Season Dressing, the wheels were wiped down with #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer and the glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
I finished the exterior for the most part around 10pm and called it a night.
Heres a well worked in application of #66:
I woke up around 4:30 the next morning and started on the interior.
A few befores:
Carpet was vacummed and dry brushed, then cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner and a brush dipped in hot water. leftover cleaning solution was extracted with a wet cotton towel and a shop vac, then dryed with clean cotton towels and re vacummed.
Leather seats were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner and a toothbrush, then dressed with Gold Class Rich Leather Spray and a sock.
All door panels, vinyl, cupholders, and storage areas were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, microfibers, and various brushes, then dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.
All wood panels were waxed with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 and a cut off piece of a foam applicator.
Nav screen and DVD player screens were wiped down with Quik Interior Detailer. Door jambs were wiped out with #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer.
Engine was cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner and dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.
I really wanted to top the #66 with #20, but there was not enough time. I settled on an application of #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer.

Test Hoods Are Cheap And Most Of The Time Free
I think the M40 was a good selection for this particular vehicle.
