Ever since having our son, my mother-in-law has been there at a drop of the hat to help us, even though they moved 2 hours away to the country shortly after he was born. For christmas I decided to detail her car for her, she has had the car since my wife and I have been together (13 years) and even though my father-in-law wants her to get a new one, she loves it and want to keep. It hardly ever gets washed and until recently the main road to their house was partly dirt.

My main goal was not to get is 100% but 80-90% and bring back allot of the shine. I did some interior cleaning, but as she is borderline hoarder, I need her to clean it out a bit before I can really clean it.

Used:
CG Mr. Pink with some PB APC to clean
CG honeydew snow foam in foam gun
Bud and Tar remover
Diablo, Signature series wheel cleaner, and PB APC for the wheels
Snowfoam & autoscrub medium

Rupes 21 and 6.5 LC Orange pad with Menzerna PO203
PC and 4 in White pad with Menzerna PO203

Rupes 21 and 6.5 LC CCS Red Pad with CG Jetseal

CG VRP on tires

CG New look trim gel on plastics

invisible glass on glas

To start (I still suck at taking pictures)








Pre-polish


50/50 (well I tried, couldn't get the camera flash right)


Found a flashlight for the inspection



Stop to watch the sun set


That night



Next Day






lots of rock chips and bug damage






As I said the goal was to minimize not eliminate
 
Nice job,especially on the wheels.

I really needed to get an overall before picture, but they couldn't figure out why I was taking pics in the first place. I could have spent 30 more minutes per wheel, they were bad.
 
Looks great! These are my favorite jobs. The reactions are priceless.
