    Whats up everyone! I have been “detailing” cars for a few years as a hobby doing friends and family vehicles. I am going to make this a running thread of cars I detail and sprinkle in some product reviews!

    Lets get started!

    This weekend I was tasked with a challenging interior job. The vehicle is a 2007 Highlander. The seats and carpet were majority stained/soiled. This was the first time the vehicle was getting a deep clean of the interior. I always tell people I can clean anything…boy was I put to the test.

    I started off with a full vacuum of the interior followed by an inspection of the seats and carpet. I pulled out the old extractor and filled it up with Chemical Guys Lightning Fast and water to dilute it. This stuff works wonders on virtually any type of stain. I broke out the drill and brush combo to agitate the area being worked. 3 hours later I think I can say the interior is renewed. I also did a 1 step headlight restoration on some hazed up headlights. Below are phots of the seats and carpet. Let me know what you guys think!

    Be sure to put some clear coat on the headlights or they will dull back up fast.

    This weekend I took on a beautiful Cadillac XT5. Did a full interior/exterior detail. Took roughly 3 hours. Removed bugs/tar of the front end and some black scratches on the driver doors.

    Enjoy!
