2006 Black Ford Explorer, Trashed Interior/Exterior, many pics
This vehicle was in need of some major TLC. I spent about 10 hours on it total, and wish I had more time with it. Only performed a one step polish so the goal was not to be swirl free but to restore gloss to the car.

Products used
Flex 3401
UDM
2 bucket wash with Chemical Guys Citrus wash
Meguiars Super Degreaser on tires/wells
Meguiars APC+ 4:1 on interior
CG Diablo gel
Meguairs red clay
Dodo Born slippy
Dodo Time to Dry
Leather cleaned with Meguiars Leather cleaner and Conditioner
Blackfire Wet Diamond
Dry with WW towels
Kracher PW
1 Step polish with white LC pads/ m205
Handful of MF towels
Pictures taken with Nikon D7000
DP carpet extractor pre-treatment
Mytee 8070

Befores









































So time to turn on some music and get to work!





Wheels getting some love



Car was then foamed





Pretty easy to see there is no protection to be found on the car.



Then I grabbed some clay



And some Born Slippy



And went to work



Which gave me a finish like this.

Grabbed some products to test a 1 step polish, decided on M205 and LC white pads.



Continue around car



The rear door was HORRIBLE!



That's better!



Another comparison





Grabbed some blackfire and applied it.



Got the Mytee up and running and hit the interior.















Yuck



Interior glass was very dirty as well



50/50 on the leather, it cleaned up nicely.



Exterior afters!



























Thanks for looking! Any questions let me know!

Great turn around. Given the way they keep their vehicle, you will definitely get repeat business...lol

Dude, that is very impressive! The M205 cleaned up the paint very nicely and the Mytee did a great job. Thanks for sharing!

Great job! No doubt that is a kid hauler. I bet it won't be long until your services will be required again.

Nice save! The owner had to be impressed with the turn-around.
