Detail: 2002 Eddie Baur Explorer

Truck was already washed a few days before, but I washed it again using the following:

  • Megs wash+wax w/ foam gun sprayer
  • Pinnacle Wheel Gel on wheels/tires/wheel wells with brushing
Entire truck was clay barred using megs quick detailer and a Zaino clay bar.

Afterwords, I went over the paint with Pinnacle XMT #3 swirl/scratch remover on a yellow l/c pad, followed by pinnacle soveran wax on a white l/c pad.

Trim was all wiped down with Black Again

Door Jams were all hit with Pinnacle Wheel gel and thoroughly wiped down.

Wheels were hit with Wheel Wax after cleaning

Vacuumed interior thoroughly with Metro Vac N' Blow

Interior wiped down with 303 Protectant

Leather seats wiped down with Pinnacle Leather Cleaner/Conditioner

AFTER:

Re: Detail: 2002 Eddie Baur Explorer

You defenetely done a great job!
I don't know is it just me, but most domestic vehicles (Ford, Chrysler, many GM's, but not Cadillac) don't offer quality leather. After just a few years it's age really shows. Or maybe most of those owners just don't care about their vehicles, and never condition their leather??? can anyone clarify???

You don't what you could, and great job on that, bro.
The only way to fix it now will be leatherique dye.
