    HD Speed and a neglected Honda Pilot

    HD Speed to the rescue again. I just love that stuff.

    Customer brought me their Honda Pilot family hauler with the warning "my wife doesn't take very good care of it". Well....he wasn't joking. I was later informed by an friend of the customer that it's never been waxed or polished since they've owned it, and it showed. The interior was pretty awful, so I had my work cut out for me there. The customer chose to pay for a one step AIO on the exterior and an interior cleanup, so that's how we proceeded.

    Process:

    2 Bucket wash with Four Star Ultimate Car Wash
    Tires cleaned with Four Star Ultimate Tire Cleaner Gel (I liked this stuff)
    Decon with a Nanoskin fine grade prep towel using UWW+
    Armor All on wheel wells
    Chemical Guys VRP on the tires
    Polished with HD Speed on a yellow Rupes microfiber polishing pads using the Rupes 21

    Leather was cleaned up with Four Star Ultimate Leather Cleaner Gel
    Hard surfaces were wiped down with OPC @3:1 and then treated with Four Star Star Ultimate Vinyl Protectant
    Windows cleaned with Stoners


    Here's what we started with:

    Looks fantastic. I love seeing normal heavily used cars that have been neglected turned back to new!
