  • Acura TL, F-150

    The owner of this Acura was referred to me from another client. Their main concern was the interior since the exterior has a lot of dents & is beat up.

    Interior before:









    Vacumm.
    Carpet shampooed with All Purpose Cleaner & hot water mix (all out of 3D)
    Leather/vinyl cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner & hot water mix.
    Floormats pressure washed & shampooed.
    Plastic & wood trim treated with Quik Interior Detailer.
    Glass cleaned with Glass Cleaner Concentrate 10:1.
    Jambs washed with ONR.
    Poorboys Leather Air Freshener.

    After:













    The exterior was filthy & had not been hand washed in a couple of years. The owner pretty much just had me clean the outside of the vehicle and seal it.

    Pressure wash.
    Tires/wells degreased with Purple Power 1:1.
    Wheels cleaned with Wheel Brightener 4:1.
    Bug cleaned with 3D Bug/Tar Remover 10:1.
    Foamed/washed with a mixture of Hyper-Wash & Dawn.
    Clayed with ONR while washing.
    Sealed with Opti-Seal.
    Tar treated with Tarminator.
    Tires/wells dressed with Hyper-Dressing 2:1.















    After:







    ==============================================

    2007 Ford F-150 4x4.

    I did some work earlier this year for the client, it was time to get the truck ready for winter though since its barely driven but has to sit outside 24/7.

    Interior:









    Same process as the Acura:





















    Exterior was done almolst the same as the Acura excpet I polished the truck with #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax).

    Before:



    Tires/wells properly degreased:





    Foamed:



    After:

    Pics are not the best since I was running late.

            Both look great! I love the F150. Does it have a leveling kit?

                  Thank you.

                  Purple Power is cheaper than Super Degreaser and seems to clean just as well. I can get a gallon at Home Depot for $6. Which will last me a couple weeks. I usually buy two at a time & empty them into my pesticide sprayer.

                  I am not sure. I know the truck does have some aftermarket parts under the hood though.
