HD Speed and a neglected Honda Pilot

[House of Wax]

HD Speed to the rescue again. I just love that stuff.

Customer brought me their Honda Pilot family hauler with the warning "my wife doesn't take very good care of it". Well....he wasn't joking. I was later informed by an friend of the customer that it's never been waxed or polished since they've owned it, and it showed. The interior was pretty awful, so I had my work cut out for me there. The customer chose to pay for a one step AIO on the exterior and an interior cleanup, so that's how we proceeded.

Process:

2 Bucket wash with Four Star Ultimate Car Wash
Tires cleaned with Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel (I liked this stuff)
Decon with a Nanoskin fine grade prep towel using UWW+
Armor All on wheel wells
Chemical Guys VRP on the tires
Polished with HD Speed on a yellow Rupes microfiber polishing pads using the Rupes 21

Leather was cleaned up with Four Star Ultimate Leather Cleaner Gel
Hard surfaces were wiped down with OPC @3:1 and then treated with Four Star Star Ultimate Vinyl Protectant
Windows cleaned with Stoners


Here's what we started with:

Fantastic turnaround! How many passes did you take polishing, how long did the job take?

Fantastic turnaround! How many passes did you take polishing, how long did the job take?

Only took 2 or 3 passes on average. The paint cleaned up pretty quickly. I think I had about 9 or 10 hours into it due to how nasty the inside was.

Looks good. Hopefully they will bring it back for maintenance.

Great job! What were your interior tools? Vac, extractor (if one), etc?

I'm sure the customers were thrilled!
