How do you detail a Black Minivan?

One panel at a time......

 

It's big, black and pigged out. I think it's last bath was last fall. However, it's not been too bad of a process. This year I'm going to do a few body panels each night after dinner. So far I'm just under 1/2 way done. :fuuuu:

 

Sneak Peak Here In a little different fashion than I normally present things.

Isn't it more of a pain to keep on washing your car?

 

The biggest pain is just cleaning out the crap from a wife and kids who live in the van :fuuuu:

 

The inside is good though. I have 3 layers of mats down on the floor. It's mostly just a weekly dredging of all the bottles, wrappers and crayons that makes it a PIA.

I'm detail retarded, can you sum up your steps?

 

I'm no where near a detailing guy. I tend to use what I have around since my cars are all daily drivers.

 

  • Wash
  • Clay bar w/clean soapy water
  • Dry the surface
  • Meguiars Polishing Compound or foam pad/9" Buffer
  • Two coats of Tech Wax applied by hand buffed with a microfiber 9" pad
  • Detail Spray (specific for black paint) - Works great!

I did a side by side on the hood which takes a large amount of road abuse and I got very good results with about 90% of the swirls/spiders out.

 

 

The sides came out very well with nearly 100% of the spiders out. I love that "wet paint" look on metallic black. :)
