I did my first full detail on my '09 Subaru Tribeca. It took about 15 hours from start to finish. During the wash, my 8 year old son participated. He then got to run the vacuum.
I did the rest.
Washed using DP soap
I got the Wolfgang Foamaster. At the connection joint, it leaks so bad that I am tempted to send it back. I will have to invest in a power washer because that foamer device is just a nightmare to use...totally disappointed with it.
Wolfgang Clay (first time since the car was new. It took a long time and every part of the car needed it)
Wolfgang Total Swirl Remover using Flex w/ orange pad. The spider webs and fine scratches came out. I was happy with the initial result but my arms were getting tired!
Wolfgang Finishing Glaze using Flex w/ blue pad. (when wiping off with the microfiber cloth, the cloth was squeaking across the paint. I figured that meant it was clean) :)
Wolfgang Paint Sealant using Flex w/ red pad (how do you clean this pad when finished?)
Next morning, using Pinnacle Spray wax and wiped down with mircofiber cloth
Leather seats cleaned with Leatherique. I got this after reading many posts on the forum and I thought if I am going to do things right, this product would be good. You all that use it were right...this stuff is simply awesome. I am very happy with how it works and the seats look great!
I purchased the 303 protectant but it was really shiny and slippery. It reminds me of ArmorAll.
In any case, I had a free same of DP Interior Clean spray. That DP cleaner is excellent! I might give away the 303 and use the DP instead from now on.
To finish up the interior (vinyl and plastics), I used the Wolfgang Vinyl & Rubber protectant. I really like this product as well. It smells good and it leaves a satin finish which is much more to my liking.
Glass was cleaned with Diamondite glass cleaner. Outstanding product! Even my 5yr old daughter made a comment today. "Daddy, the glass seems so shiny!". A kudo I was happy to hear.
The tires are treated with tire gel.
