++++++++++++++++++++++++ CRV ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


One of my Church friend brought a 2nd hand 1st generation CRV, after seeing my “dare you to view” thread…
He decided must get his full corrected & detailed only by me…..
Initially I am a bit resisting…..as I just recover from a very severe food poisoning & diarrhea (15 time purging since thurs till fri……sat I did a full day correction extreme make over….from an intense hot day…where I have so much heat rash & sun burn ……on a merz …another extreme make over…

It wasn’t easy but a man got to do what a man got to do & I just loves to do it

Here is the process I went thru
from this

to this

interior cleaning
where I step into another treacherous adventure

I was wonder why must u put some dog fur on the dash board

so I called my friend & ask…shall I remove it….yes if you can, initially he too want to remove but after
seeing the double sided , he decided…to call it off…& I open another can of worms

tada ….just to remove this double sided tape took me almost 40 minutes

Door trims massive cleaning
Look glossy…oily?????...& crazy

My friend thought of asking the car wash to help his to detail interior….& he paid RM 10…wow that’s is more than washing the car…so they did what they do……
Applying the most glossy look dressing…..tire shines……on interior??????...well good effect but ????BUT is this the right thing to do here


Wipe test ….tissue paper

see it for yourself

Moving on to the interior with the help of Johson Swiss carpet/fabric cleaner product…PH neutral

cleaning begin – took me another 2 hours to remove

OSREN Multi Purpose Cleaner agitation & brushing off

moving to the centre console & cup holder area

the console box which was hidden beneath the dog fur….massive cleaning continues

brushing off those slimmy & oily sticky wheels dressing on the wheels

they applied at the wrong wheels

the answer is STEAMING it!!!

Now the last 10 % of the job left…….which every driver does….WAX….it ….

The question is ……….can u get 100% detail done with just this 10% of work???????

Opti seal-ing it

rear hood & plastic parts….even rubber parts

all windows now is seal & protected

the usual area everyone misses

buff off

look at the reflection

this is how a total strip off dash board look like….none glossy & oily looks…dull & dry

another 50/50%

ta da

while I was getting ready to pack up & called it a day…my neighbour came to inquiry instead of enquiry

what am I doing….so I showed him a new way to clean his

1 hour later….we went back to view the 50/50…the side which was clean …feel supple & softer & less oily look…as it is dissolve by the steamer & being broken down by heat

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ FINISHING PICS ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
