My Car Detailed - 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe

I clayed and polished my car a few months ago and decided to put on another coat of wax as I had used some less than desirable car wash soaps and the car was not beading as I liked.

Exterior
Wash with Griot's Car Wash and MF Wash Pad
Prep with Griot's Wheel Cleaner - Remove wheels and cleaned the backsides
Dry with Waffle Weave MF towel
Meguiar's Crystal Carnuaba Wax applied with Griot's Random Orbital and Red Wax Pad
Eagle 1 Trim Restore on Bumper Cover
Stoner's Trim Shine on Grille

Engine Compartment & Undercarriage
Pre-cleaned with APC 4:1 and removed engine cover
Dressed wheel arches with Griot's Undercarriage Spray
Dressed engine compartment with Stoner's Trim Shine

Interior
Air compressor used to dust interior
Windex on Glass























I apologize for the lack of quality in these photos.

You won't regret it. You'd never guess that car has 100,000 miles on it by looking at it and it gets great mileage for an SUV. I recently took it on a 4-state road trip and returned an average of over 25 mpg.

Really the only complaint I've heard about Korean cars is the lack of leg room for very long-of-leg drivers but that's mostly relegated to the old Hyundais. The newer ones seem to have given people more adjustment.

PM me if you want more info or have questions.
