Before and After Results

This 2013 Honda CRV had not been cleaned at all in several months. Not only was there a lot of crumbs and dirt everywhere, but there was significant dirt accumulated in the caret and seats. 

We started with an exterior cleaning with a pressure washer to get rid of the surface dirt. If we didn’t clean the bulk of the dirt off, we could accidentally scratch the finish when we do our cleaning. Next, we applied a wash and toweled down the car with microfiber. After a full clean, we used a clay mitt to wear down any rough patches of accumulated dirt/bugs/grime. We applied a ceramic sealant that beads dirt and moisture off as well as protecting against UV damage for 3-6 months. The wheels were detailed by hand with a brush and tire shine to bring out the rich black rubber. Finally, we applied a protective coating to the exterior plastic, which brought back the fresh from factory look of the side panels. 

For the interior, we shampooed and scrubbed the carpets and seats. The whole interior was cleaned and wiped down. Dashboard protectant was applied to the interior of the cabin where we could to provide a richer look to the plastic paneling. 

Overall, this is a pretty typical example of a full car detail. With all the work, this one came out to $260. Not bad for 12 hours total of work!
