  • Chrysler Pacifica Detailed by ShineTech Auto Detail

    This Chrysler Pacifica was recently purchased as a used vehicle. The new owner Wanted me to focus mainly on the interior and just give the exterior a good wash. Upon inspection I noticed the paint had this sticky substance which seemed to be a fine mist of tree sap along with other bonded contaminants. I discussed this with the owner and got the ok to do a one step polish/wax. On with the pics.

    This is how it was delivered (before wash)


    You can see where I ran my finger across the paint. This was all over the vehicle.


    Washed twice with a citrus cleaner, clayed and went with #151, yellow 8006 pad and the G110v2

    On to the interior


    Removing the floor mat exposed some carpet stains


    Once I began the shampooing and extraction you cab begin to see the difference





    The floor mats had a plastic protective cover that dealerships install.


    Not sure why they put the plastic on, the mats were dirty


    Mats all cleaned up


    I always like to show the customer the dirty water. I love to see the expression on their face


    The headliner had splatter on several places so I had to clean the whole thing so it can look even. Here's a small area with that splatter


    After




    So it took me roughly around 8hrs to complete the job. The customer was happy to see his carpet was actually gray now and that the headliner stains were removed.

    Thanks for viewing!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Nice work, Jesse, and a great job at informing the customer about the reality of the finish and other issues with the car. That's a sign of true professionalism - being able to educate the customer quickly, actually raise their expectations, and then still manage to exceed them. Awesome!!

                    Thanks a bunch Nick and Strife. This is the first wash (detail) the Pacifica gets since the owner bought it about 2 months prior.
