Last weekend a SUV - the Super Urban Vehicle came to my Auto Spa Detailing Enthusiasts Club (http://www.autospaclub.eu). The car stayed outdoor for the last few days and from the outside it did not look good. Inside also you could see traces of daily use in the urban jungle. For over two full days with the car I have been able to do: clean, restore and protect very thoroughly the whole interior lightly refresh the engine compartment very carefully wash the car from the outside clean (claying) the body of the "planted" in the paint all kinds of dirt polish the paint to partially remove minor scratches, which are usually created by using automatic car wash (paint turned out very resistant (hard?) and unfortunately I did not have time to do a 100% correction which would require two or three steps - very heavy cut and finishing) secure (to improve water repellency) all exterior using high-end products Used products and tools: Cleaning and restoration of the interior: George vacuum cleaner Karcher evaporator SC4100C Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (1:10) Chemical Guys greenCLEAN (1:15) Chemical Guys Fabric Clean (1:18) Meguiar's Glass Cleaner Concentrate (1:10) Poorboy's World Natural Look Areospace 303 Protectant Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer set of brushes, sticks,cotton applicators and a lot of microfiber cloths Cleaning the outside: Meguiar's Wheels Brightener (1:4) Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner (1:4 and 1:10) EZ Detail Brush Big and Mini set of brushes and brooms Valet Pro Citrus Pre Wash (1:6) Chemical Guys Bug Bugger and Tar Remover (as a shampoo) two buckets with GritGuard soft microfiber mitt Prickbort MAC124 CarPro IronX (distributed with a sponge throughout the car) Meguiar's Last Touch (1:3) clay Bilt Hamber Regular Meguiar's Glass Cleaner Concentrate (1:10) Fluffy towels and a lot of microfiber cloths Polishing: polishing machine Flex XC 3401 VRG CarPro Eraser IPA (1:2) Meguiar's DA Microfiber Correction Compound Meguiar's DA Microfiber Cutting Discs Chemical Guys EZ Creme Glaze Chemical Guys HexLogic blue pad 6.5 inches Zaino Z-12 Clear View Glass Polish Meguiar's NTX Metal Polish soft and hard sponge applicators Securing paint and other parts: FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant (paint) RainX (windows) Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 (lights) Chemical Guys Wheel Guard (wheels) Areospace 303 Protectant (various plastics below the line of windows and engine compartment) Auto Finesse Revive (various plastics) Meguiar's High Gloss Tyre Gel (tires) Zaino Z8 (the last touch) sponge applicators and a lot of different types of microfiber cloths You can see in the pictures below how the car looked like upon arival to Auto Spa.
