    A friend's wife is a vet who uses this thing as a dog hauler. They are getting ready to sell it, and wanted a quick spruce up beforehand. It has about 75k miles on it, so it's seen some use. Plus, there was more dog hair in the hatch than I've ever seen before. The whole thing took about 16 hours, a good 4 of which were just vacuuming the hatch area.

    Interior process:

    Vacuum
    Surf City Garage Dash Away on all surfaces
    Folex isolated stains, Megs APC+ with LGM all carpets. Carpets got APC+ 10:1, so did rear mats. Driver and front passenger mats got it 4:1.
    Megs Glass Cleaner on inside windows

    Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the carpets and mats as well as I would have liked. I don't know if it was my technique or the LGM, but these were the best I could do in the time I had. Also, the stains on the driver and front passenger seats were SLOWLY coming out with Spot Shot, so I gave my friend a can to use.

    Exterior process

    Wheels cleaned w/ Brown Royal
    Tires, wells and running boards cleaned with HD degreaser
    ONR wash
    Megs aggressive clay
    Flex and GG DA- D151 w/LC orange pads
    Topped with OCW
    Tires and running boards got Opti-bond 1:1. Before anyone starts in, she requested the running boards be dressed. If it becomes a problem for them, I will remove it.

    I didn't take any pics inside the fill door, but it was so dirty you could see it from the outside.

    Thanks guys!

    Yup, same as the paint. The headlights weren't too bad, they cleaned up easily.
