  • Rugged Durango

    2005 Dodge Durango, 67k on the clock and is in pretty decent shape. Everything was pretty easy to clean and protect , especially the interior . Exterior cleaned up nicely for just a basic wash and seal.



    Wash wheels, tires, wheelwells and running boards with Deep Crystal Car Wash, Super Degreaser, Wheel Brightener, and various brushes.

    After spraying on the SD, dirt and grime just started bleeding out of the tire:




    Agitate:



    Rinse....






    I washed the truck with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner, bugs and tar treated with Body Solvent.



    Rinsed..






    The interior was vacummed, dry brushed, then vacummed again. Some areas were treated with All Purpose Cleaner, same goes for the cloth seats.

    All interior surfaces were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner and a cotton towel, some areas required various brushes for removal of dirt and grime such as the vinyl center console. The interior was then dressed with Quik Interior Detailer, all glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1. All door jambs were wiped clean with Last Touch Spray Detailer.














    The exterior of the truck was lightly clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1. I then worked in a well application of #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) with my PC at speed 4, I used several W8207 pads. I did not have time to top it with another sealant so I chose to just seal it with #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer.

    Tires and trim were dressed with All Season Dressing, fenderwells dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 3:1, and the running boards are wearing #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner.

                  You do have a knack for making all of these vehicles look brand spanking new again, don't you? And linking to the products you use is a very nice touch!!

                      Thank you Mike, it looks pretty good for just a basic wash and seal. I hope the product links can help others so they know what was actually used to complete the detail.

                        Car looks refreshed, inside and outside. Another job well done Nick.

                        p/s: Hows the carpeting in that car?, deep pile I assume.

                          Thanks Tim, refreshed sounds perfect lol.

                          The carpet has somewhat of a deep pile. I only vacummed, dry brushed, spot treated the stains, then vacummed the carpet again. So it looks "okay".

                          I did not have time to shampoo all the carpet like I normally would, The owner was paying for six hours of my best work and asked that I could get as much done as possible in that time frame. I did have time to shampoo the floormats with APC and extract them though.
