  • 2001 Volvo C70

    Heres a Volvo I detailed today. I had to get up at 4am since the car had to be done by 1pm. Still turned out pretty good and when i got done I had just enough time to drive it back. All the owner wanted was a good wash, cleaner wax, and the interior cleaned out.

    Started off by washing the wheels, tires, and wells with Wheel Brightener , All Purpose Cleaner and various brushes.





    scrubbed then rinsed:



    I then degreased the fuel cap with All Purpose Cleaner and three different size brushes:








    I then washed the car with NXT Generation Car Wash




    I then made my way into the interior. Everything except the winter mats got cleaned. The owner is replacing them so she said not to even clean them. I cleaned them anyways but the discoloring is still present.












    The paint was then clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) and then for an AIO I chose COLORx. The tires and wheelwells are wearing All Season Dressing.

        Rinseless? I see no snow on the ground. As long as the temp is above mid teens, he should be hand washing.

        Just put on your Yak-Trax so you don't slip on the ice. Hot water in the wash and rinse buckets makes it a little more enjoyable, too.

          No, I have a heated garage and I am able to wash in there.

          The temp was about nineteen outside and seventy in my garage. Made the hour long wash an enjoyable experience.
