2004 Lincoln Navigator, 75k on the clock. Exterior was just freshened up and the interior was given a good cleaning. The owner was mainly concerned with the leather. It looked bad.
The whole seat was like this, just really dirty. I was too excited to get started so I did not take a whole lot of pictures.
I washed the wheels, tires, wells, and running boards with Deep Crystal Car Wash, Super Degreaser, and Wheel Brightener along with various brushes.
I then washed the truck with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and used Body Solvent where needed.
Rinsed, then dried with several Water Magnets.
The Navigator decided to spend the night, so I worked on it until about 10pm. By that time I was able to clay the paint, glass, and wheels. Apply #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) to all the paint and chrome with my PC ste at speed 4. I used four W8207 pads. I then topped that the next day with my 70/30 mix of #135 - Synthetic Spray Detailer and Ultimate Quik Wax, it did not streak on black paint. It passed one of my tests.
Tires were dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner, wheels were waxed with #20 - Polymer Sealant, and the glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1.
The next morning I had to go wash and seal a Ford Focus, so I planned on just throwing it in the garage and start working on it again in the evening and try finishing around midnight.
My detail got cancelled,. So I went ahead and just finished the Navigator the next morning.
Carpet was cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, warm water, a brush. The extracted with my shop vac, water, and large cotton towels. The leather was scrubbed with a toothbrush and All Purpose Cleaner. I had to work small concentrated areas to remove all the grime. The leather was then dressed with Gold Class Rich Leather Spray .
Dash, door panels, and other vinyl surfaces were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner then dressed with #40 - Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner. Door jambs were wiped clean with Last Touch Spray Detailer.
Leather is super clean:
