One dirty Subaru Outback...

How about we just let the photos tell the story? Helping a friend out to get his wife's Subaru cleaned up a bit. Took pictures for everyone to see.

:thumb:

Not sure when it was washed last, but I think it's been a while.


Years and years or brake dust.




Engrained dirt.






Snack time!




Get the toothpicks out, this will be fun.












Oops...




Took the seats out to see what was underneath!




Making progress on the passenger side. I used CG Total Interior Cleaner for the ENTIRE interior, together with many Meg's and Swissvax brushes, countless MFs, the shop vac, what have you.


And making progress on the driver side.

No pics of the wash + polish + wax stage, but I wash the entire car with CG shampoo, polished it with Sonax Premium Class Paint Cleanser and topped it with Collinite 845.




Wheels received many hits of Meg's Wheel Brightner, and were cleaned with Bleche White. Dressed with Adam's VRT.








Pretty big improvement!

Nice job! Love that garage floor too! I think your friend needs to show his wife's car a little (more) love than he has been doing. Perhaps he "might" get something in return!

I have always hated carpeted floor mats and this confirms it. I would go with black rubber mats. Always looks good.
