New family mover

[D.Acker]

I bought a 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan SXTut: Which may not seem odd, but I bleed Ford blue. The Caravan was just too good of deal to pass on.

At 147k the Windstar just seemed to be on her last legs. She's been a faithful member of the family for 10 years and it was hard to let her go, but the dealership actually gave us $500 for her.

Any way on to the pictures, for right now I only really have the dealer pics. The Caravan is still there actually, the A/C isn't working:frown5:, but they are fixing at no charge of course. It's ok though, they sent us home in a 2010 Flex!

Will do, but honestly, exterior wise I don't think you will see a real difference, no swirls or anything to speak of, I couldn't believe it.

I've got to get the iron and a towel out for the interior though, melted crayola in a couple places.

Here we go.

Hood, only shots I have. It rained Sunday so it got all mucked up, but I'll be washing it tomorrow night and will get some more pics. As of right now I've polished using mainly M205, with MUC and M105 as needed, waxed with Meg Gold Class paste, interior wiped down with EcoTouch APC, carpets vac and cleaned with our Hoover carpet cleaner.

I can't believe how good of condition the paint is in!

Most of these came out and were the worst marks on the entire vehicle. I'm sure with a bit more time I can get them.

Clay after dong the entire hood and front end! Yes, I know I should have used a larger piece, but dang, I can't believe how clean it still was.

The interior was also extremely clean, nothing that really took anything more than a light wipe down. Except this...

After some heat from the iron and blotting..

Then after using some Folex and the carpet cleaner.

That purple spot is putting up quite the fight, so it will be an area I'll just keep at, but it's hidden by the seat...

Like I said, I'll get some more pictures tomorrow night.
