  • JAD Detailed: Toyota Highlander

    Hey everyone I just finished up a white 2010 Toyota Highlander. The owner was primarily concerned with the interior, as she uses the car as a daily family driver. However, as you can see, the rocker panel areas of the exterior needed some major help. They were coated with a healthy amount of tar, bug splatter, and even some road line paint on one side.

    The process used was as follows..

    Exterior:
    - Wash with GC
    - Wheels/Tires/Wells cleaned with WB and APC and various brushes
    - Clayed with Final touch
    - Aggressive clay used on rocker panels/around wheel arches
    - M105 used to clean rockers and where needed
    - M80
    - M26
    - Tires dressed with Endurance Gel and wells with HD

    Interior:
    - Dry Vac/brush carpets and seating
    - APC (8:1) used to clean door panels, plastic trim, etc with various brushes
    - GC leather cleaner/conditioner
    - Hot water extract carpets with APC+
    - Stoner Invisible glass for windows
    - Dressed dash and trim with Meg Natural Shine

    Total time spent: Approx. 8 hours.

    Here are the before Pics, exterior and interior:

      Looks really good, Jon.

      How did you massage the car seat imprint out of the leather (last "before" shot)? I just got a new car with some mounting points depressed in the middle seat in back and I can't get the leather to flatten out. It looks like you had good success on this one getting it back to original condition.

        Tornado - It really wasn't imprinted too badly, as a fairly lightweight carseat was on that spot. The moisture added from using the GC Leather cleaner/conditioner helped bring the leather back up, eliminating the indentations. I applied with a foam applicator pad and just rubbed the area throughly. Hope this helps!
