I keep referring back to this thread to psych myself up for mom's car. There are big differences between spending leisurely afternoon perfecting techniques on your own ride and making it "just right," doing production work with an AIO, and finally doing nice things for your loved ones.
Mom's car was in desperate need of attention. A couple of weeks ago I had it for two days, doing some minor mechanical maintenance, cleaning and detailing the engine and the interior. The engine bay was full of years of grease; mom takes the Corolla goes for a rust-proofing oil spray every year, since new (you folks outside the Rust Belt are so lucky). It took
hours.
Next came the door jambs and doors, also coated with blackened ooze. People keep telling me "you're not supposed to remove the oil spray because the uncovered parts will rust!" and I always have to tell them that that is what
paint is for! Rust proofing is for inside the panels and other areas that are either bare metal or never get cleaned and protected with a wax or sealant.
Finally, the interior, which looked like a daycare mud room. That alone took me almost four hours. I handed her the keys and told her I'd get to the exterior when I had another couple of days off work...
Thanks, Nick, for the excellent write-up. This is exactly the prodding I need to make a hole in my schedule to accommodate the most important person in the world.
While I love seeing the exotics featured in the Show & Shine threads, it's the amazing turn-arounds on daily drivers like your aunt's that really pop for me!
rops: I tried using it on a white '07 Tundra and could not get the sides of the truck to look that good with 360 for some reason(hood and rough came out great though).
