Default Rav 4 (pics)

This is my Mother’s Rav4 that needed some help! I had to tell her I was planning on stealing it from the airport parking lot to detail it while she was on vacation. I had to ask her to save me the trouble of figuring out where she parked it and of course the potential of being arrested. She would finally agree to let me take care of it. She does not understand why I like to do this

Products used:
Eagle One This worked great on the rims and the tires. Anthony.. I am trying to find products that work in mulitple areas. I appreciate the suggestion So far I have found 1
SCG Road Trip Grime Destroyer
Black Magic dressing and I don’t like it!
SCG Absolute Perfect Polish
CG Citrus Wash & Gloss
PB Bug Squash and Pinnacle sponge
Pinnacle Ultra Poly Clay and Megs QD
XMT 3 mixed with DG501 in some spots
XMT 360 with DG501
Klasse HGSG – 1 coat
Then I took it to the dealership for 60K service. Once I got it back I tried two new products Optimum Instant Detailer & Gloss Enhancer and OPT Opti-Seal. I could not wait to try them! I was very impressed with both!!! Thanks Integrity! In the final pics I didn’t touch things up like the windows, rims and mud flaps. I will be leaving the car in the airport parking lot for her today and it will just get pollen all over it anyway. Plus……. she does not really care




I was very impressed with the Eagle One. Normally I use a wheel cleaner and then ARO on the tires. The Eagle One did great on both.

Befores

Nasty bugs!!






Ed I took this shot for you. I understand what you are saying...... After I got all the dirty off this is what I really started with.



Half way done polishing.

Afters








The before of the headlights didn't turn out but... I am very impressed!!!!!! Trust me it was bad!

She had a lot of dog hair in the back. I didn’t try to get all of it out. She said why bother….trying to get it all. It will just get dirty again. I don’t care about the back that is his area. She takes that dog everywhere!!!!! She said I don’t even bother to get his nose prints off the window anymore.





Oops.. I forgot the afters of the engine.. I will get them and post up later.

Nice job on the RAV! Eagle One looks impressive, any agitation to clean the wheel or spray on and rinse off?
