    A Quik Detail: 2001 Tribute

    So most of you know of my mom's 2001 Mazda Tribute ES-V6. I featured it in a thread awhile back after a 6 1/2 hour detail. Well it needed some TLD, "Tender Loving Detailing" after my sister borrowed it for the weekend whilst my mom was out of town in Destin, Florida. Today, my mom was set to return at around 5:45 p.m., so I decided to go for it and see if I could really make the car look nice in a short amount of time. Well, by golly, I got it done, and here's the results.

    Exterior
    Deep Crystal Car Wash
    Couple of spots needed Ultimate Compound
    Ultimate Quik Wax
    Windex for Auto Glass (and a quick shot of Quik Wax)
    Exterior Trim Detailer (for plastic trim and mirror covers)

    Headlights:
    1 round UC + 1 round PlastX

    Rims and Tires
    Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner
    Gold Class Endurance Tire Gel

    Interior
    Gold Class Leather Cleaner/ Conditioner (Spray)
    Ultimate Protectant

    Here's a few before shots:














    So I decided to have a go at it and see if I could make this thing shine once again, and all (hopefully), in time to pick up my mom from the airport...well here's the results!




















    I also took a quick sweep through the interior as well









    My mom was so happy to come home to a clean car and she thanked me profusely for it!

    Total detailing time: About 2 hrs.

    Enjoy the photos everyone!

      Agreed!

      It always amazes me how a plain wash and quick interior wipedown will make a car go from gross to glossy in 2 hours.

            Hahah yeah I'd say my sister owes me one big time. She'll learn the meaning of car detailing in a short time. She's 18 and she's looking forward to getting her first car. I might have my hands full with her car, bc she wants a Jeep Wrangler...and we ALL know how those things turn up like after a hard days work!
