  • 2003 Dodge Durango SXT

    2003 Dodge Durango, 78k miles.

    One step exterior, interior.

    I went and collected the vehicle at 5:00 am.

    The truck was in very fine shape and the owner was looking to keep it that way.

    Befores:








    I rinsed the wheels, tires, and wells, then cleaned them with All Purpose Cleaner, Super Degreaser, Wheel Brightener, and then foamed them up with 5oz of Deep Crystal Car Wash and 3oz of Super Soap. I agitated then rinsed.

    the body was foamed up with a combo of Shampoo Plus and Super Soap, then hand washed with several Meguiars wash mitts and a bug sponge where necessary. I also applied some Body Solvent to the grille and all lower fenders.











    I dried the vehicle with several Water Magnets after it was rinsed off and sheeted.

    I then turned my attention to the door jambs. I cleaned them with a combination of All Purpose Cleaner and Last Touch Spray Detailer and cotton towels.

    I did a dry brush and vac on the interior.

    Areas of the carpet and seats that were lightly stained were spot cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner, a toothbrush, then given a vac, hot water wipedown, then a cotton towel drying.

    All hard surfaces were cleaned with All Purpose Cleaner Plus, cotton towels, and various brushes. The interior was dressed with Quik Interior Detailer.

    All vents and crevices were brushed out with a paint brush.

    All glass was wiped clean and streak free inside and out with Glass Cleaner Concentrate at 10:1 with cotton towels.

    I cleaned the rubber mats with lefotver solution in my foam gun and then agitated with a brush, rinsed, then let to dry.

    Here is a shot of what the terry cloth looked like after cleaning all hard surfaces with APC Plus.

    The interior was not too dirty on the surface but my small brushes release a lot of dirt from the pores of the plastic and vinyl.




















    The exterior was clayed with Detailing Clay (Mild) and Last Touch Spray Detailer at 1:1.

    I applied some #66 - Quick Detailer (Cleaner/Wax) to the paint with my G110 and a 5.5" LC green pad.

    I applied some #20 - Polymer Sealant to the roof and wheels.

    I sealed the paint and wheels with 3x coats of the new Synthetic X -Press Spray Wax.

    The tires were dressed with All Season Dressing and the wells were dressed with Hyper-Dressing at 2:1.

    All trim was dressed with Ultimate Protectant.

    Once again, an outstanding job! Truck looks really nice. The thick foam in that picture with the wheel and tire is pretty cool.

          Looks great Nick. How do you like the Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax? Was this the first time you used it?

              Thank you Don.

              I like the product a lot. Its nice to have a gallon of it on hand.

              I used it on a couple of maintenence details a few days prior to this one.

                  Very nice. I've always loved that body style Durango. And for an '03, that one looks amazing!!!

                  A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

                        As usual Nick, great work.
                        How does that Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax compare to UQW?

                        Happy Thanksgiving.
