2000 white Honda Odyssey

[CieraSL]

OK, this is my parents' 2000 Honda Odyssey, with little more than 83,000 miles on the odometer. This van is not a daily driver, but it is used when we go on long trips or need to haul stuff. It has been to New York and back once and to Minnesota and back several times. Really wasn't too bad - the inside just needed a good freshening up, and I wanted to remove the swirls on it and get it sealed up. I actually finished this up a couple weeks ago, but didn't get to take pics until a couple days ago. Just now posting it on MOL. What I did to freshen it up will follow detail process. Just to note, I did not buff the roof. I just washed it, clayed it, and put on a coat of Duragloss 105 followed later by an application of Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax. I'll probably put a coat of Poli-Coat or Power Lock on the roof at a later time. Reflection turned out a bit flat in pics - it's glossier in person.

Door jams with Duragloss APC, assorted brushes
Vacuum
Meguiar's Quik Interior Detailer in a few areas like glovebox, under seats, cup holders that pull out of the dash, etc.

After



Just some RIDS left




Aauuugghhhh! What is that! Oh, wait. Just my ugly mug.






This was at a Baptist Bible College not too far from my house


I can't get those stupid brown spots out of the front floor mats - I've tried 7 or 8 different things, to no avail. Oh well. Could be worse for 10 year old floor mats.
















Took a little detour on the way home...






Thanks for looking!

Re: 2000 white Honda Odyssey

Great work.

I really like working on white paint, some find it boring though.

As for the floor mat, what have you tried doing to it?

You can get it pretty wet if you want since its something you can take out of the vehicle.

I would spray it down with some APC at 4:1 and Quik Out and then scrub it with hot soapy water and a stiff brush. This will really produce some foam so you will have to rinse it with water and use a shop vac to extract the water and cleaning solution. Then you can set it out in the sun to dry and go over it with cotton towels and vacumm it again.

If that doesnt work then I would try and find some of the rubber mats you can get for the Odyssey.

Here are some taken from an 05:

Here are some taken from an 05:

I have tried APC, APC+ (both at 10:1 and 4:1), Quik Out aerosol, Quik Out trigger spray, the Detailer Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner, P21S Total Auto Wash at full strength (then rinsed out, vacuumed out, and air dried), Woolite, and 1 or 2 other carpet cleaners. I have tried several different methods of applying and extracting, but nothing works. The P21S TAW worked pretty good - after spraying, agitating, rinsing, and getting most of the water out with an ice scraper, I took the vacuum to it and got a lot of brown "sludge" out, but still not all of it. I even tried dyeing it at one point, but that didn't really work either. I'm at my wit's end trying to get that stuff out.

Re: 2000 white Honda Odyssey

I have used 303 Fabric & Vinyl Cleaner to get out stains that nothing else would touch. It is amazing stuff.
