  • Hall's Custom Detailing: 2004 Ford Explorer

    Hey guys, had a fellow hunting partner need some detail work done on his Ford Explorer. His main concern was a quart of spilled milk that had sat in his explorer for 3 days after it spilled without the vehicle being driven. Beyond that he also wanted a basic wash and wax, or my "basic" Premium Detail, he also chose the Ult. Premium interior detail due to odor. Anyway, heres my process with pics to follow.

    Process

    Wash/Clean

    • Wash w/ Gold Class shampoo/conditioner, 2 buckets, grit guards
    • Wash wheels w/ all wheel cleaner
    • Clean tires w/ Westleys Blech-Wite
    • Clean fenderwells w/ GC soap and a long handled brush

    Prep
    • Clay w/ Smooth Surface Clay Kit, Last Touch 1:1 as lube
    • Tape of any/all plastics in direct contact with painted surfaces

    Protection/LSP
    • M21 Synthetic Sealant on paint
    • Ultimate Protectant on all exterior black plastics
    • M40 on/in fender wells
    • Endurance high shine tire gel (purple stuff)

    Interior
    • Wipe down/scrubbing of whole interior with APC+
    • pre-treat all carpets with APC+
    • LGM with an odor control cleaner x2 on affected milk areas (worked WELL)
    • QID on all interior plastics/vinyls/rubbers etc.
    • new Odor Eliminator x2 on all carpets/seats

                      over all great job, lost a few points on interior. cup holder should be dressed and the underseat brackets should have been cleaned better. only constructive criticism.

                        i QID'd the cup holders, and i didnt get the underseat brackets because i guess i was more focused on getting the smell out and just slipped my mind.

                          The cupholders look fine to me. There just clean

                          They are washed out and faded and I bet the rubber is torn up a little as well.

                          Maybe dress them on a more extensive detail????
