2009 Toyota Highlander, 19k miles.
This one was a hybrid in white.
Client went with a basic exterior/interior detail.
I took delivery of the vehicle at 6:30am and was able to get started early.
It was in the late 30s and pretty cold actually.
A before:
I did a pressure wash rinse on the wheels, tires, and wells.
I then sprayed them all down with All Purpose Cleaner and foamed them with Deep Crystal Car Wash in my foam gun. I agitated with various brushes and then rinsed.
I pre soaked the lower panels and front end with Deep Crystal Car Wash in my foam gun to loosen up some light tar.
I then did a pressure wash rinse on the body of the vehicle.
I added 5oz of NXT Generation Car Wash to my 5 gallon bucket with a grit guard. I used several wash mitts and a bug sponge.
I loaded up my foam gun with 7oz of Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo & Conditioner and filled the rest with water.
I foamed each section of the car and then agitated with my wash mitts and bug sponge where needed, then did a final pressure wash rinse.
I pulled the car in the garage and dried with several Water Magnets.
Before starting on the interior I wiped the engine and jambs out with plain water and a microfiber. The engine had only a thick coating of dust on it.
The interior was not in that bad of shape, but the floor mats had many spots and stains that needed to be treated.
I did a dry brush and vac on the carpet.
I then cleaned all hard surfaces and leather with All Purpose Cleaner Plus and various brushes and cotton towels.
I dressed all hard surfaces and leather with Quik Interior Detailer.
The wood trim was sealed with NXT Generation Tech Wax 2.0.
All crevices and vents were brushed out.
Glass Cleaner Concentrate was used to clean all glass at 10:1.
The floor mats were given a dry brush and vac, I then pre soaked the entire mat with All Purpose Cleaner at 4:1 and ran my carpet brush through some hot water and agitated.
I rinsed each mat out with plenty of warm water, extracted the water out of the carpet with my shop vac, towel dried, and left in the sun to dry completely. Then vacummed one final time before placed into the vehicle.
I clayed the exterior with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.
I applied some #20 - Polymer Sealant followed by an application of Ultimate Quik Wax an hour later.
The tires and wells were dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.

My friends in South Gillies, Ontario use that term.
