That Honda CR-V is going to look awesome after your detailing class.

Re: Beater Car Detailing - 2000 Honda CRV - Survivor car - 17 years old - all original
Looking forward to this.
My ex had a 2000 CRV in silver. The condition was similarly as good with low miles and perfectly maintained since the get-go. It's a damn shame that she didn't listen to me and traded it in one day for $500 towards her new car "just to get it out of the way". It drove like crap compared to a modern car, but it would've been the perfect beater. Its been over five years and it still pisses me off that I let that one slip through my grasp (the CRV not her).

Perfect car and in fact this type of detail/ownership actually is the type that I enjoy most. I just talked with a customer about cars and I've always had new cars and tend to get them every 2-3 years. However, after picking up my son's nearly 19 year old Jeep I'm into these old-school cars....dare I say old-school-cool as honestly, even something like this old CRV is cool to see in brand new condition which is what you're going to have when it's completed.
Very nice and looking forward to following the progress and results.

And...
Being that it's never been chemically decontaminated my guess is it's going to bleed like a stuck pig when we spray it down with an Iron Remover.
We'll find out in less than 2 weeks.
This is going to be a great class! The other cars for this class are here,

I also love having a car from my earlier years that is very clean. It’s kind of like a new age classic.
This is my DD. 1993 Sentra, 129k miles, runs like a champ and it’s kind of unique in the sense that you don’t see them on the road much. Especially not in this condition.

Top that off with the finest trim restoration product in the detailing world & hey presto! It’ll be like a time machine back to the year 2000 & this Honda just rolled outta the showroom.
Too cool, I look forward to seeing the results on this. Going to bea good one for the class for sure. An eye opener for many I’m sure, seeing that you don’t have to do a multi step polishing process to achieve fantastic results.

Thanks for chiming in Aaryn...
I'm looking forward to seeing the transformation to this car myself.
I don't have pictures of the interior but if I remember correctly it too is a mess. So we'll also be suing this to teach,
