Dedicatedperfection: 2012 Jeep Compass


Our secretary at work made contact with me after hearing of the work that I perform. She decided she wanted to get her husbands vehicle cleaned up as a birthday present. Her husband works roughly 100 miles away and will stay in the area during the workweek. On the weekends he returns home. Round trip is 200 miles not counting the daily driving to and from work. Anyways, it was rather filthy from the commuting.

Total time spent: 8 hours

Interior:
Vacuumed out with 6HP shop Vac
WeatherTec floor liners scrubbed down with Meguiar’s D101
Leather cleaned and conditioned with Meguiar’s Gold Class Leather Cleaner and Conditioner respectively
Interior plastics such as panels and dash cleaned up with Meguiar’s Quik Interior detailer

As always beautiful work!! To top it off you got a nice bottle of wine!! My only weakness in detailing is interior....that is my worst part of detailing. I still suck at it no matter how many how too's and what if's and what product I use!!....LOL All kidding aside, interiors are my weakness as I hate cleaning the most. Most of the time I will let the person know I will only do an exterior detail.

That to me is the easy way out!!....LOL Again, beautiful work!!

Thanks CJ!

I don't care to perform interior work either. Always feel like I'm cleaning up after someone else.

Great work Mike. And great attention to detail in the wheels wells, trim bits, etc.

Thank you good sir. As we say in the military "Attention to Detail"

Awesome work Mike, what a turnaround!

[Roman92]

Very nice! Do you get much marring from the nano skin medium pad?

 

[DeansDetailing]

Great stuff, Mike! Reminds me of the Jeep I just posted. What's up with those doughnut wheels? They look weird.

 

[TRDTACO]

Outstanding work as always my friend!

Thank you Kyle!!!

Looks great Mike. Nice work. I bet he was happy with his gift!

Thank you Paul. He was stunned with the outcome. Couldn't believe it.

Very nice! Do you get much marring from the nano skin medium pad?

Thank you sir. I do get a decent amount of marring but no issue clearing it up with an AIO. BTW, these pads get the panel incredibly slick. Clay can't match its performance...

Great stuff, Mike! Reminds me of the Jeep I just posted. What's up with those doughnut wheels? They look weird.

Thanks Dean! These are the winter setup. They are dedicated winter tires for driving below freezing temperatures and through snow & ice.

Looks Fantastic , excellent work as allways. Thanks for taking the time to share . I bet the wife was happy and the husband was pleasantly surprised!

Thank you sir! My pleasure. A good bit of time goes into my Show 'N Shines however I enjoy doing them. The owners were floored with the outcome. She mentioned she wants hers done for mothers day.
