AP Mobile: 09 Chevy Equinox White - wash & wax

[m4gician]

Hi everyone,

This car belongs to a referral from a message board I'm a part of. Good news, the owner is getting married so she wanted her car cleaned with a wash, vac, and wax (I should rename my version of that package "wash, vac and wax" lol). And her car is a 09 White Chevrolet Equinox.

Bad news:
- think layer of film grease all over the car, EVERY where. (probably plant based as they came back from a heavy fishing trip)
- It wouldn't RINSE off with a 1700 pressure washer hit it
- the tires looked brown already
- It was white

Good news:
- I get to detail it :)



AP Mobile Detailing

This is by far the best view of what I'm trying to explain when I say "film that covered entire car" look at the tail gate and you'll see the layers and pattern of dirt that you'll be able to notice what I'm saying. If you specifically look around the license plate you'll see what I'm getting at, it was like that, except darker and ALL OVER THE CAR.

During:

Cleaning the brown off the tires, I scrubbed after it set, but it's always fun to see the brown just ooze off...

AFTER:

It was harder to take pictures because...with the sun out, it becomes difficult to get a good shot, and white paint reflects the light really really strongly, it'll be like driving next to a pile of snow for the lucky bride....

Well what's the formula, or is classified? It looks like it works pretty good.
