98 Saturn

98 Saturn

This car has probably seen a few automatic washes in its 9 years. The last time it was waxed was the last week of Never. Needless to say it needed some attention. The owner totally loves her car but does not think to clean it at all. Luckily the interior was not full of garbage it just had some Coke and coffee spills on the carpet. The exterior was flat; that’s best way I can explain it, flat.

Between the XMT360 and the SSII this cars green metallic paint just popped. The owner was so happy all she kept saying was she couldn’t believe that this was her car. Her reaction was well worth the effort that went into this detail.

Here’s the Detail:
Exterior
Wash – DP Xtreme w/foam gun, dry w/Ultimate Guzzler
Clay – Clay Magic Blue with CM Lube
Polish – XMT 360 on CCS Orange Pad w/UDM
Wax – SSII by Hand
Tires – DP Wheel Gel – Black ShMitt, DG 265, Wells - AA Foam
Windows – DP Krystal Vision Glass/WW towel
Diamondite Plasti-Care on lenses
Trim – PB Trim Restorer
Interior
Full Vacuum
Mats – Vacuumed and Folex
Carpet – Folex for Tough Stains
Interior Cleaned with Water/Woolite
DP Surface Protectant
Diamondite Plasti-Care on Lenses

As always your comments and questions are welcome. Thanks for looking.

Great turnaround, Alice! I can see why the owner was very happy. The paint did look dull, but you brought out the color and shine!
What ratio Woolite/water did you use for the interior?

Great detail! I'm ready to do that exact same car, but in blue, for my wife and hope I can make it look as good as you did when I am done.

My son is getting a '97 Saturn that looks like that, minus the rear spoiler. It's also green. He's getting it on Saturday. I can't wait to get my hands on it! LOL.

Thanks for the compliment. The ratio on Woolite was 10:1 (water to Woolite).
