Driven Auto Detail: 2007 Saturn Aura

This car belongs to the wife of one of my good friends.

The vehicle was first washed with Optimum Car Wash. After the wash, it was apparent that it needed a good clay bar treatment. There was a lot of very noticeable rail dust stuck in the paint. After claying, I turned on the halogens to reveal virtually no swirls. Fortunately, my friend makes sure that his wife does not run it through the automatic car wash. The paint received Optimum Poli-Seal via my new Flex. After polishing, I applied Optimum Opti-Seal (x2) to all paint and glass surfaces. Tires received Optimum Tire Shine.

Moving to the inside, all plastic & leather surfaces were cleaned with water & Woolite and then dressed with Optimum Protectant Plus. The carpets and mats were vacuumed, pre-treated with Folex, and then steam cleaned.

Sorry, no before pictures.



























Comments, questions welcomed. Thanks for looking!

Nice as always. How long did you wait before the second application of Opti-Seal.

Thanks everyone!

Pirex - Yep, it's an Opel. Very nice Opel too Saturn has really turned things around.

Saitek - I waited about 18 hrs. before applying the 2nd application. Since it was my friends car, we just swapped cars for a day and a half.

Re: Driven Auto Detail: 2007 Saturn Aura

Looks great! I really like the Aura and almost got one recently. On the other hand, I'm NOT a fan of the brown/tan leather seats with a grey interior. Just doesn't match to me. Oh well, to each his own.
