Car Detailing for Ford Bronco

Detailing your Ford Bronco

A Bronco that has had the roof off for a summer comes in with a cabin full of pollen, dust and the odd bug, plus mud in the jambs from whatever trail it found north of the city. The interior was designed to be hosed out, and we take advantage of it with a proper floor wash and dry. We also clean the roof seals and tracks, protect the soft top or polish the hardtop, and get the big tires and fenders clean without stripping the trim.

What we watch for on a Bronco

• The removable hardtop panels scratch where they stack and the seals between them trap mud; we clean the seals and the roof tracks so they seat properly and do not leak
• Soft tops need a fabric cleaner and a vinyl-window polish, never a glass cleaner with ammonia on the plastic rear windows
• Rubberized floors with drain plugs mean we can wash the interior floor with low-pressure water and dry it, which is far better than shampooing carpet after a muddy trip
• Sasquatch package 35-inch mud tires and 17-inch wheels throw mud up onto the fenders and into the door jambs; the door hinges and the exposed jamb bolts need a brush and a rinse
• Open-top driving leaves dust and pollen on every surface, including inside the vents and the speaker grilles

Midsize SUVs: three rows of places to hide crumbs

With a third row, a big cargo area and plenty of child-seat anchors, midsize SUVs hide a lot of mess. We work through each row and each seat track so nothing is left behind.
