As a seasonal detailer (April through October or later, depending on weather), I look forward to my version of "opening day".
The first official detail of 2012 was a 2012 Chrysler 300, metallic white with a tan leather interior.
The wash process was as follows:
The engine compartment had some light dust, it was gently rinsed and dried using the leaf blower. I used Meguiars's Hyper Dressing to shine the underhood plastics.
The car had minimal swirls and no RIDS whatsoever.
The polishing and LSP process was:
The wheels were waxed with Meguiar's #21 and Stoner More Shine was apllied to the tires.
The interior was very clean, with the exception of the driver's side floor mat, which had a couple of stains. The interior was throughly vacuumed, the mats were shampooed using Folex and my Bissel LG to extract, the interior carpeting was spot cleaned using Folex. The leather seating surfaces were clean, so I just wiped them down. The dash and door panels were cleaned with Meguiar's Interior QD
I used Sprayway Glass cleaner with microfiber toweling to clean the windows and treated the exterior window surfaces with RainX.
Here are the results...
Who says that white paintwork doesn't give reflections?
