This detail came to me through a referal, so after scheduling a date to look and give a quote on a full paint correction or a Wash,Wax and Interior job, when I first saw this SUV my words were...(to myself) wow.....it needs help big time, certainly could tell it had been neglected,abused and probaly cursed at, allot of really bad,deep scratches and dents and dings you name it and this Xterra had it and that was just the Exterior....once I looked inside I knew that this would be a all day event (see interior before pics) so I gave her two prices, set the expectations on doing just the Wash,Wax and Interior and educated her on a Full Detail.....
She told me she really wanted the Full Detail but really couldn't even afford to do the Wash and Wax detail, she is a single mom raising a child and living in a apartment.
Well, that really hit me that she is struggling (belive me I am not a sucker for the Ol make me feel bad routine) she was genuine.....so I wanted to make her day...told her I would do it (Full Detail) at the cost of a Wash,Wax and Interior Job....plus do some extras....so the deal was made !!
Now onto the detail pics, process and products used..

3 Bucket wash (one for tires,wheel wells and rims)

Washed Megs Gold Class Shampoo:
Megs APC+ :(allot of interior areas)
Megs Wheel Brightner:
Optimum Opti-Bond Tires: ( I love this stuff )
Prima Nero :Cockpit and dash
Folex: Carpet and Upholstery
Sprayway:Glass
Menzerna: SIP and PO85rd (Love menzerna too)
Correction: Makita 9227c
Kompressor Pads: Orange,White and Gray
LSP: Liquid Souveran

Here is what it looked like when I brought it home......

The cusomer was extremly pleased...hope you enjoyed...not my best work, but taking in considerstion $$ and hours spent on it...it was a win win and I felt good about helping someone in nedd and struggling.
 
Really a nice job, considering the special circumstances. Maybe she could help you with the compensation by getting a few referrals for you. No costs for her.

Thats what she said she would do, i just told her not to be giving out any prices or quotes......lol.......she really is a good person, just struggling and she deserved a break.
 
Wendell, what did you use on the plastic clad bumpers & side steps?
 
You've done a good thing both on the car and in your heart. :props:

Nice job - sometimes doing something for someone, it will always come back. She had to be excited!

Yes...She flipped out....It was a good feeling to help her,still made some pocket change on the detail...but you know what, i still treated the detail as if it was a $200.00 job.......ever so often I do like to help others....cause I have been there myself.
