Default My Detailing Day 96 Saturn

So my friend bought his first new car, and wants to get rid of the old one. Now from what he says, he always kept the interior clean, but his older brother started using the car when he bought the new one. So now the interior was bad, and the exterior wasn't looking too great either. But we have plenty of products to fix that, so we decided to see what could be done with this ol dirty bastard.

Plan of Attack
Interior Vac
Fully treat mats w/Power Out
Spot Treat Carpet (same)
Clean Leather w/APC
Condition w/Megs Cleaner / Conditioner
Degrease wheels w/ Lightning
Wash car w/ Crystal Wash
Clay
Wash Again
Wet San flaking Clear Coat
Wash Again
Heavy Cutting Pad / M83 (Deep scratches / wetsand areas only)
Med Cutting Pad / M2
Light Polishing Pad / PB PwC
Finishing Pad / PB EX

Took us About 11 hours total (Alot of the time one of us was waiting around, since I only have one PC) I think it came out great, for my 2nd Detail

PS: VERY SORRY ABOUT THE CRAPPY PHOTOS. I was shooting my friends concert last night, and accidentally left the ISO on 1600 :eek:


Car comes in looking clean as can be


Close up ( I think you get the point)


Started Inside (See the leather is getting CLEANER!)
Sorry No full interior befores.


Close Up


I think the interior came out pretty nice.

whether or not the car was actually taken care of, some people do care about resale value. if that means a tune-up and a nice detail won't outweigh what they could get for the car...go with it.


u wouldnt believe it til u see some of the junkers picked up at auction, and basically spending a day on it doing the same thing this guy is doing, and not much else, they'll easily turn a profit.

Dude, Im a Saturn owner, and I regret getting this car everyday of my life. Ever had a car shut off mysteriously doing 60MPH on the freeway? Not cool. Saturn= Word to everything.

:edit: For the love of christ, the OP better tell his friend to replace the <FONT SIZE="7">ECTS</FONT>, thats the #1 thing that fails on the piece of *****.
