Big thanks to Tom for bringing over his truck for its yearly wash, wax, and Basic Interior. Always a pleasure.
Ford Explorer ST
Aaron’s wife had visited last year with her Ford Edge to have some scuffs removed after an…incident…with a garage door and he decided to have his new Explorer ST come by for a Spring cleaning. As much as I love jobs that show polarizing before and after photos of messed up paint, I do love the simplicity of a Wash & Wax.
Every job starts off the same for me: cleaning the wheels with FerreX and the tires with Power Clean. Then I foam Power Clean over the exterior to soak into anything that bonded to the surface. I also use FerreX on the body and T.A.R on areas that may have tar thrown up from the tires. Once rinsed, I wash with No Rinse, followed by using an Optimum Clay Towel on the body to remove any contaminants that can’t be chemically removed (using Optimum Car Wax as a lube). Since the Wax is the lube, when I wipe the panel dry, the wax is already applied! Synergy is awesome.
Ford Expedition
Alex had been using his Expedition as a work truck and grandkid hauler through 2020 and wanted the interior brought back to basics and the outside quickly washed. Unfortunately I did not document any of the interior but with a Full Interior Detail, I got as much of the sawdust, dirt, and smudges out as I could, followed by a Basic Wash. Like with every interior detail I do, I ran my ionizer inside for 30 minutes after cleaning to neutralize any odor that exists.
Ford Edge
This Ford Edge has spent a lot of time near the beach and it's oxidation definitely shows. This detail was a surprise birthday present and the results really speak for themselves. No, it won't be winning any car show trophies, but knowing that it will be easier to clean, both inside and out, is a win for everyone. Optimum Hyper Polish and Optimum Car Wax really make my life very easy when it comes to work like this!
