  • Mother's Day Detailing Special: Galaxy Blue Metallic/ Tan 2001 Mazda Tribute ES-V6

    Hello all,

    It's been some time since I last posted a thread of my very own. Times have been extremely busy with lots of personal things in my family, but now I'm back and better than ever. So what better way to kick things back off, than with a full detail as a mother's day gift on my mom's 2001 Mazda Tribute ES-V6.

    This car has just ticked over 101K miles and has seen it's fair share of abuse (mostly thanks to my sister from previous events). There were dents, dings, scratches and swirls TATTOOED all over this car! However, that wasn't gonna stop me from giving this car an "ULTIMATE" detail. I just recently purchased 2 bottles each of the new Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Liquid Wax, and the target of choice had just now been acquired. So the scene was set..mom goes out of town for a family reunion for 2 days, car's in my hands? PERFECT!

    Mission #1: Assess The Target
    EXTERIOR




















    INTERIOR




















    Mission #2: Prepare the Ammunition
    -Gold Class Shampoo/ Conditioner
    -Smooth Surface (White) Clay Bar

    (No pics of detail in progress)

    MISSIONS COMPLETED! The battle has been won, but the war is far from over!

    AFTERS

    Exterior

    My mom was absolutely thrilled with the car when I showed up to pick her up at the airport on Mother's Day (May 8, 2011), and she promised to keep the garage clean enough for it to stay for now. =)

    So the verdict for the Ultimate Polish and Ultimate Liquid Wax combo?
