Beat Toyota Highlander

[christian900se]

I got a whole bunch of detailing jobs lined up recently, but unfortunately all of them are an interior rejuvenation and wash/clean/wax type ordeal. This car was beat to hell. I unfortunately only got a few before shots but the interior was nasty. The carpets were a very dark brown (supposed to be light beige) and there was dirt and stains on every surface.

I wound up doing spot scratch removals, although one key mark (will be shown) could in no way be touched without touch up paint.

Looks good :cheers:

I really like the lines on the carpets... nice job.

[christian900se]

Thanks! I didnt feel like using the normal 'detailer stripes' that day, so I figured; why not do something different?

[Emile]

Very nice work. How do you guys make those detailer lines and stripes in the carpet. I have a shop vac and a Bisell Little Green Pro Heat Turbo and I never end up with those lines.

[christian900se]

You have to go up one direction, and then move over and go down in the opposite direction.

^^ sometimes i use small interior brush to do the same :P (doesnt work all the time)

[TS656577]

looks good. If anything, id recommend blurring out the license plate

[jugodegolf]

Looking good.

[christian900se]

TS656577: I will, I normally do that but I stopped posting for a bit and forgot to start blurring again. Thanks for the reminder.

jugodegolf: thanks! Im still improving from my techniques to the products I use, its a learning curve ;)
