  • Washing my mothers car, Toyota Corolla Navy Blue 2003.

    Hey Guys, whats up!

    Well here is my mothers daily driver. Its a japanese version of the Toyota Corolla 2003, its navy blue and its full of swirls, ill need to make some time in my schedule to buff the paint for a mirror like finish. So here is a quick wash i did to it.
    Hope you enjoy!

    Here are the before pictures, the car interior was a real mess because my mother eats in the car, but since this is just a simple wash didnt deeply clean the interior.




    Here you can Clearly see the how dirty was the car, it was raining the whole week, and there are a lot of construction sites near by.





    The wheels were pretty dirty, full of brake dust...she stops a lot!...its like a roller coaster with her..











    Now some interior Shots:








    The back seats were pretty clean, last time i vacuumed was like 1 month ago, and nobody has sit in the back so no need to clean it, just de-dust.





    So i started washing the car. The process was the following:

    -NXT shampoo on two buckets method.
    -Lambswool wash mitt
    -APC 4:1 and SD 10:1 on the wheels and wheel wells. Various brushes and my loyal TOILET BRUSH!
    -NXT Insane shine tire dress.
    -Endurance Low Gloss tire gel. (I LOVE HOW THIS LOOKS ON WHEELS! )
    -Vacuumed the interior with my Coleman 18V vacuum.

    Here are some In the process pictures:


    Wheels with APC and SD, then agitated with a tire brush and the wheel wells were agitated with a toilet brush.


    Since i need an assistance, i teached my uncle how to wash cars so he can help me out on busy weekends. He learns fast.


    My soapy water and clean water.


    Really clean wheel. The rim is kinda scratched but overall its clean.



    After pictures:






    I just love how the tire looks only with Endurance Low Gloss Tire gel.


    Camera did something weird i dont know. But i like the reflection in this picture.


    That car in the far end, its what we call here in DR "Carro publico" as "Public Car" Its like public transportation method its like $0.75 to use it.










    Here a the pictures i like the most of the Whole set:


    I love the reflection in this picture.


    Finished car.

    Thanks for watching guys.

    Your opinions worth millions for me so please let me know anything

    Nice job. I'm sure with a little TLC you could have that car looking incredible!

    The interior is quite clean for someone who eats in the car.

        I think it's fantastic!

        Sometimes it is a surprise that a wash can make as big of an impact as a major detail. I think it looks great.

        The toilet brush on the wheels wells is a great idea!

        Nice wash. I bet she'll feel much more proud driving it cleaned up. To me, a clean car always seems to drive better!

            Hey steve, thanks! It was for sure a big impact because as i mentioned with all these contruction sites nearby all the dirt is in the air an when it rains is a nightmare.

            Ive loved using the toilet brush since the first day i used it... its just so simple and sturdy. Its great for the wheels wells.

            I thnk as the same, a clean car always drives better, but algo makes you tell people "hey look at me, im a clean person".
