2003 Toyota Matrix Detailing – East Meadow, NY

We recently detailed a 2003 Toyota Matrix in East Meadow, NY. This car was in rough shape when we found it. It had recently been purchased from an older couple that did not maintain its appearance. Mechanically it was sound; however the exterior of the vehicle had never been waxed before. The previous owners did not take it to the car wash as it was parked on a street in Manhattan. The new owner got a steal on it and wanted to make the car look new. Calling the detailing specialists was the right move.

We washed the car down with a foam gun and used our microfiber wash mitts to scrub the vehicle down. There was a lot of dirt and surface contaminants on the paint as it had never been washed. Next, we used clay to level the paint and bring it to a bare state free off all containments. As we lubricated the painted surfaces the clay glided easily making stripping through years of built up grime.

After washing the vehicle down a 2nd time we dried it with microfiber and prepared to apply wax. We applied a coat of carnauba based wax with a Porter Cable 7424 XP and varied the speeds to remove black streaks on the paint.

A new shine was brought back to a previously tired paint job. Next, we detailed the interior and started by vacuuming the carpets, removing stains from the seats, treating the dashboard and plastic and vinyl trim, and last we polished the windows. To finish up, we cleaned out the door jams and sprayed some “new car” scent to give it that new car feel. The owner was shocked with the results of the detailing job. He was ecstatic that the car he just purchased ended up looking better than he expected. Five Star Detailing will continue to maintain this vehicle as we’ve been invited back in the spring to clean it after the rough winters in New York.
