2010 Chevy Cobalt Wash & Wax

[ziggo99]

Here is a 2010 Chevy Cobalt in Moss Green. It's a loaner from the dealer that's doing repair work on my Aura from a tree falling on it. I was just going to wash it, but after dragging the towel across it once I decided that it wouldn't take 10 minutes to wax. No clay bar because I wasn't that concerned about it, but it did need it. It was a smoker car, with a faint smell but I have no odor eliminator for it. Inside was just a quick wipe down and vacuum. Pictures were taken off an enV Touch, 3.2MP.

Process
-Wash with Meguiar's Gold Class and Wal-Mart microfiber mitt
-Wheels wiped by afterwords by same mitt
-Windows polished with Meguiar's #2 Fine Cut Cleaner via GG with 4" Meguiar's Burgundy pad
-One coat of Finish Care #218 Poly Wipe Sealant Conditioner.
-Tires and wheel wells dressed with Meguiar's All Season Dressing
-Plastic mirrors dressed with Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant

Sorry for the lack of better quality and no interior shots. Hope you all enjoy

The dealership isn't going to recognize their car.

A loaner car? You must have been really bored? It does look real nice though.

I waxed a 2010 Focus as well when the Aura first went in. It's just something I can help dial my skills in on.

You should submit a bill to the dealership....

My wife had a 2010 Hyundai Sonata loaner while her Elantra was having some warranty work done. The interior was so dirty, we almost couldn't even get into the car for fear of dirt transferring to our clothes. My wife was going to have the car for about a week, so I cleaned the interior really well. It was an absolute mess and I actually considered billing Hyundai for it. It must have been a mechanic's loaner to drive the car home from work, and to see just how dirty and greasy they could make the interior.

I can't say I would have waxed it, even if I was going to be driving it for a while.

I must say, I do like the FK 218. Super easy to apply. No chance to test how it will hold up, but it sheets water better than any other wax I've used.
