This customer was referred to me from a local body shop. Customer is in the National Guard and was getting sent to Iraq so he wanted to get it cleaned up, ready to sell. The exterior of the vehicle wasn't in too bad of shape. It appeared that it was run through the local car wash recently as the hard to reach areas of the exterior were pretty dirty. The front bumper cover was pretty beat up and there were some scratches on the passenger rear quarter panel. The interior was awful. They have at least one kid and so there was a lot of debris spread throughout. There were a lot of stains as well.

Service: Mini-Detail
Vehicle: 2005 Jeep Cherokee 5.7 Limited

Wash with Optimum Car Wash
Tires received Optimum Tire Shine
Paint received Optimum Poli-Seal via UDM and Meguiar's yellow polishing pad
PS buffed off with Optimum Car Wax
Exterior glass cleaned with Duragloss Rain Repel

Interior vacuumed
Carpet mats cleaned with water/woolite
Interior plastics and leather cleaned with water/woolite
Interior glass cleaned with Surf City Glass Cleaner

Unfortunately, the sun was no where to be found so the pics are a little dark.

Thanks Ron! His wife told me over the phone that the interior was pretty dirty, but that's what everybody tells me. Needless to say, my jaw dropped when I arrived at their house. The good thing is that jobs like those provide the best before/after pics :)

Thanks Anthony! By the way, after seeing your steamer video, I decided to buy one. It'll be here next week. I can't wait to put it to good use! I really could have used it on this vehicle! hehe

You deserve a medal for the job on that interior. How can a car owner let it go that far?

Thanks gimpy! I have no idea how people let their cars get that way. Fortunately, those people like to pay to have it "fixed". :thumbsupup[1]:

Wow, great turnaround....I always tell my wife that her car would look like that if she hadn't married me...so she should be thankful that I'm obsessive! :thumbsupup[1]:
Great job on the jeep!
