4 hr clean day one....

I decided to clean up the gtx yesterday..

first i had to get rid of little black tar spots ALL OVER THE CAR

so i used some of this to get the black spots off

I cleaned the entire car (soap/water), then i Dried the whole car

I used paper towels and added a little Xylene to the paper towel and very tediously went over about ever inch of the car getting all the black spots off the car.

after every section (front door/ back door/ front bumper/ rear/ etc) i would stop and clean that area with soap and water and dry again.

after i was done, just incase i missed any i washed that whole car over again

after doing that i cleaned the wheels and armoral'd (sp?) the tires

also armoral'd all the black pieces in the car

and swept out the car/ changed the towels on the floor mats

pix a couple mins after cleaning at the golf course

Pix later on that day on campus //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

im going to Clay bar for the first time and also wax

TODAY...

i didnt have time today to claybar and wax but i did rotate tires and this is what i had to deal with...

i used some xylene on them and got it out pretty well i think...

i spent way too much time on these, especially since they arent going to be on much longer. :-D

Looks nice! My parents got me an early wedding gift and I am getting my car detailed by a reputable (sp) detail shop. Was a nice gift as I have so many stains in my seats from the kids, plus is saving me a good day in doing it myself, which I love to do, but too busy right now.

Whats with all the hate on Grand Prixs.

 

[bigbangtheory 5,000+ posts]

I don't hate them, well the older ones I don't. Not a big fan of the newer ones, although my aunts GTX is pretty sweet.
