2007 Toyota Avalon, 27k miles.
One step exterior, full interior, and engine.
A before shot:
I gave the wheels, tires, and wells a pressure wash rinse, then cleaned them with All Purpose Cleaner, Wheel Brightener, Deep Crystal Car Wash, and various brushes.
I then gave them another pressure wash rinse.
I then gave the exterior a complete pressure wash and then hand washed the vehicle with Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and multiple Meguiars wash mitts.
I used a yellow bug sponge with the GC on the front and lower areas of the vehicle to remove bugs and tar.
I then did another pressure wash rinse, pulled the car into the garage, and then dried with several Water Magnets.
I then wiped the trunk jambs out and did a dry brush and vac on the trunk carpeting and mat.
A couple before shots of the interior:
I did a dry brush and vac on the carpets, then spot treated some stains with All Purpose Cleaner Plus, warm water, and a brush. I then rinsed the cleaning solutions out with warm water, shop vac'd, then towel dried.
I should also start noting that when I vac the carpet I do take a lot of time with various brush attachments getting in between the seats.
All hard surfaces and leather were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner Plus , cotton towels, and various brushes. I then dressed them with Quik Interior Detailer.
All clear plastic was cleaned with #18 - Clear Plastic Detailer and a Supreme Shine.
Vents and crevices were brushed out with a paintbrush.
Glass was cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1 and a cotton towel.
All wood trim was sealed with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0.
The headliner was wiped down with a damp cloth.
The jambs were wiped out with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
I think thats it, but I am sure I left something out. I should also note that I do a lot of little things that I do not usually include in the writeup. Such as cleaning the seatbelts, wiping out the seat racks, clean gas/brake pedals etc.
I clayed the paint with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
I then did a one step with #205 - Ultra Finishing Polish using my G110 , several W8207 pads, and some 5.5" LC white pads for smaller areas.
I sealed the paint with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0 x2.
Twelve hours later I followed up with several coats of Ultimate Quik Wax. I must say the finish was very slick at this point.
I sealed the wheels with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0.
Tires were dressed with All Season Dressing, and the wells with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.
The exhaust pipes were brushed down with steel wool then polished with Hot Rims Chrome Polish and some terry cloths, then sealed with #20 - Polymer Sealant.
The engine was given a wipedown with All Purpose Cleaner and then dressed with Quik Interior Detailer. I used cotton towels and various brushes for the cleaning.
The painted surfaces in the engine were wiped down with Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1. The under hood pad was revived with Hot Shine Tire Foam.
I shot some pics that night, the next morning, and then finally in the afternoon.
Let me know what you think.
