And another one. 2008 Mercury Mariner.

Friends 2008 Mariner. Wash/claybar/wax. No buff. Full detail otherwise. This was more used car prep style. Some things are overly shiny IMO, but look nice. Took about 5 hours. Bought it brand new, 12k miles, never touched it, couple dogs, you get the idea. Bissel BIG green FTW! Lemme know what you guys think.

Nice, the interior looks awkward withouth the navigation.

Yeah. All they do is drive around town, i think. Probably figured they didnt need it. hahahaaa

Looks good.

If I could suggest, when you shine anything but the tires. Wipe the stuff off with a clean dry lent free towel. It gives a nice new look, and not the shiny I'm covering something up look.

I usually do. Ive been playing around with different dressings and the like. This one is a fuzz shiner than normal. Like you, I'm a "natural" finish kinda guy, except for the tires of course, which must be extra shiny, at all times.

I like my tires to be between satin and shiny. I always let myself down in that department though.

On these rides I like them shiny. Its Meguiars "Hot Shine" line on those tires.

On classic cars, or exotics, stuff like that, I would have something with more of a matte/satin to it.

Sadly, I havent found any off the shelf products I like on tires. I like a nice water based tire shine that I can cut to the strength I like. I should probably be a good son, and detail my dads roadster. Then of coarse take it out for a night.

looks new! Cleaning up the dash and instrument panel goes A LONG way! I agree about the shine as well.

good work!
