Chevy Malibu Interior and Winterize by M.R. Detail Shop

[Make it shine!]

First off this isn't the fanciest or hottest car but time and dedication goes into each clients car whether its a high end luxury or a daily driver. That said enjoy, as a detailer they all can't be amazing pieces of machinery you have to fill your calender with work!

This client was much more interested in making sure the interior was as good as possible, since she commutes an hour to and from work everyday. Also needed to pay special attention to the trunk mat as food had spilled a year ago or so and I guess it was finally time to address the mess. It was gnarly kind of moldy in curtain spots and since it was about 1-year-old sauce it didn't come out 100%. The exterior didn't get the works but it came out very nice and it's protected for the up coming winter. I can't believe it's that time of the year again.


Wash-Wax

• Hand wash via the two bucket method, CG Citrus Wash and Gloss concentrated to strip previous protection and to clean the paint and dry with DI Waffle Weave Towels.

• Meg's APC+(4:1) to clean tires and wheel wells.
• Clay with Pinnacle Poly Clay and Dodo Juice Born Slipper clay lube.
• Meg's M105 by hand with terry cloth applicator for around door handles and some scratches on the spoiler.
• Optimum Poli-Seal with a Green flat LC pad on speed 5 via PC 7424X
• Two applications of Meg's #16 wax to insure total coverage of the entire car and extra protection for the winter.
• Tires were protected and dressed with Optimum Tire Bond Gel.
• Glass cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass.
• Glass treated with Aquapel to increase visibility during inclement weather.
• Exterior rubber trim treated with 303 Aerospace Protectant.
• Door jams treated with CG Ez-Creme Acrylic Shine.

So you got the seats that clean with just woolite? That is awesome if so because my mothers g35 while not as dirty as those seats are perforated like that and look to be made kinda the same and I'm looking to clean them up nicely all I have now are the megs leather wipes and they certainly are not doing the trick... Thanks for the great pictures by the way

Thank you very much. The G35 has leather seats, the Malibu has a cloth material where you see the perfs, almost like a nubuck nap but definetly not nubuck. The woolite 10:1 should definetly work though, I like it because it cleans really well, doesn't have a harsh odor and is extremely gentle on all materials.
