This is my second Prius to detail and they have to be one of the easiest to do. Not alot of car first off.... second, not alot of curves. Just big flat panels to work with.

I also did not do a traditional wax on this job... i was lending out my udm... so I came up with another scheme to make the car glisten!!! First off I have mixed 50/50 of PB spray and gloss, along with DP Final Gloss. This aids in the drying process as well as adding protection. Minimal, but protection none the less. Also I added about 10 squirts into my foam gun mixture with DP x-treme foam. I followed up with Liquid Souveran Spray wax for the final touch. I feel with this combo it gave the car great shine and in the after pics you can see it amp'd the flake, which when I got there, there was none.

Exterior:
DP X-treme foam, 50/50 PB S&G, DP FG via Foam Cannon
PB Bug & Tar 3:1, Pinnacle Bug Sponge
Ulti-mitt via GG bucket
Dried w/couple of guzzlers

Liquid Souveran Spray Wax via MF
RL qd on wheels
50/50 DP tire gel, RL ext trim dressing on tires and back trim piece
AA tire foam to wheel wells
Final buff with MF

got them at target... they come in a 4 pack. it's just the scour pad, no sponge attached. I'm too analytical right now to use rinseless!!! i have to try it out on my wife's car before I ust it on a cust car.... its raining now. so maybe tomorrow!!
 
That car is really shining now, and nice flake pop! Your interiors look smart as always. Looks like you're trying to do squares on the mats. Cool!
 
Vehicle looks great, you sure turned the interior around. Always enjoy your interior work my friend, well done.

Thank you for sharing.
 
Great work as always Dust. But there you go again raising the bar with the squares this time no less. You are right the flake is just poppin'. And I must admit I steal your mixtures a lot so now I will be stealing some more. One question though, "Did you have to feed the squirrels in the engine compartment?"
 
the seats look tan in some pics and grey in others. Is that just a photo illusion, or were they that dirty?
 
a Prius in Texas? haha Theres like 6 trucks in the background of your pics :D

Great detail man even if its a Prius :p

A prius? With Liquid Souveran, god damn I should relaly harness the magic of that spray wax, it really seams that it does a quick good looking job very cheaply.

What I'm really impressed with is that you weren't armed with your UDM.
 
Car looks good.


Sorry to be a noob, but I can't find what RL means for the interior wipe down/dress... Can you enlighten me?
