Car Detailing for Ford E-Series

Detailing your Ford E-Series

There are still thousands of E-Series vans working in the GTA, and most have never had a real cleaning. Oxidized white paint, a stained engine cover and a cargo floor full of twenty years of grit are the usual starting point. We compound and polish the paint until it shines again, scrub and dress the floor, clean the cab and run an ozone treatment for the smell. For passenger vans we extract every bench so the group that rides in it notices the difference.

What we watch for on a E-Series

• The engine cover between the seats gets hot and is used as a tray, so it is usually stained and the seams are full of crumbs; we clean it with a degreaser and a brush
• Old rubber cargo floors are often cracked and hold decades of grit; we scrub them, rinse and dress them so they stop shedding dust
• Single-stage white paint on work vans oxidizes to a chalky finish; a compound and polish bring the gloss back, and a sealant holds it
• Passenger vans with four or five benches take a long time to extract but hold a lot of odour, so a full interior with ozone is usually the right call
• Front and rear bumpers and the door bottoms rust on these vans; we clean around the rust without aggravating it and tell you what we found

Vans and minivans: the busiest interiors on the road

Minivans and vans see more spills, seat-belt buckles, snack crumbs and cargo than any other category. Sliding doors, seat tracks and cargo tie-downs all need attention.
