Re: Rasky's AD: Full detail, Kia Sorento

Wow, what a transformation! I especially liked how the trim and engine came out. What products did you use for them? I've been thinking about cleaning up my engine, but have no idea how to tackle it.

Thanks.

I used Meguiars Detailer line glass cleaner to remove the oxidation from the rubber trim. I used APC+ and Hyper Dressing on the motor.

Good observation, thanks for pointing this out for everyone that will ever read this thread.

Thanks, and you're welcome!

Everything looks great!! What products, and machines did you use on the carpets and floor mats? Can a person get those kind of results with just a shopvac and some elbow grease, or do you need a steamer, extractor, etc...?

Floor mats are pretty easy. Vacuum, pretreat with APC/APC+, pressure wash them until clean (wide patter nozzle, don't get to close) and wet vac them. You can also hand scub them or use the LGM, but when they are this dirty it's faster using the pressure washer.

On the interior I used a wet vac, Bissell Little Green Machine ($90), carpet brush, and some APC+. So to answer your question, you can easily get the same results as me without a high end extractor or steamer....though one of those would be nice.

nice work, M205 is looking a promising product (only just be released in the UK so pretty hard to get hold of currently)

WOW, I am getting a G110 soon and was trying to decide with to use on my 09 Altima that is just sitting in the garage as I test products on my 07 Accord..Both are Red.

I seem to be pushing towards 2 coats of 205 with my G110 and then 2 coats of NXT ...Red really seems to pop out with this combination...

The dealer said they Simonized it which they seem to believe is a great finish for a new car.....:>))) I will decide once I get my G110 and my products..for now it sits and waits.
