Wifes DD 09 Ford Fusion, SB
I wanted to show possibly some new guys a little bit about how I clean a car, but really didn't achieve it after looking through all the pics. I have some decent wash pics, but nothing inbetween for interior, jambs, seals, tires..those process magically just happend..LOL.
Started off this morning with a good wash, and then on to the cleaning part.
Wash:
DG901
Proline Grout sponge
misc sponge to scrub windshield and headlights
Two buckets, one grit guard
Wheels:
Megs NXT wash
Megs Apc 4:1 wells and tires
EZ brush
various brushes
Jambs:
Demoted MF
Optimum Instant Detailer and Gloss Enhancer
Megs #40 on seals
Glass:
Excel WW
Meguiars detailers line glass cleaner
LSP:
RBOE
Wiped off with Megs Ultimate Wipe, and buffed with "no name" from DD
Ok, so now for my wacked out pics..I'm sure you can make out the process
I use Gilmore sprayer, with Gilmore shut off for sheeting method
wells sprayed with apc 4:1
wheel all cleaned up with various brushes
Then we magically jump to the RBOE on the car.
all the nice glow and shine is all due to this:

They did a crap load of advertising this year for that car.

Thank you!
I was really surprised what RBOE did to the paint. There is two layers of DG 105 underneath it from when we first purchased it. I can't wait to see what OS does for the flake.
Trust me, I am not happy with that parked in my garage!
Thank you
Thanks!
I know I will burn for this one..
I am pleasantly surprised with the ride quality, interior finishings, performance from the 4cyl, and the MPG's

Sorry to stray off topic boss!
Which APC cleaners are you using to get that grime off of the wheel walls? Do you just spray and let it soak then pressure wash or do you have to use a brush to get all the dirt off?
Also do you start with the tire/wheels then move on to the top?
Does your next door neighbors give you strange looks when you blow dry the car with a leaf blower?

I start with the tires first usually, incase I get more crap on the fenders.
alot of strange looks at first, now they just got used to it.
