Car Detailing for Honda Crosstour

Detailing your Honda Crosstour

A Crosstour is an Accord that went to the cottage, and the under-floor bin in the cargo area is usually full of the sand to prove it. We take the removable box out and clean the whole well. The ivory leather Honda sold in a lot of these shows a decade of denim dye, and the long sloping rear glass with its second lower pane needs cleaning from both sides. A polish and sealant on the big hood and roof finish the job.

What we watch for on a Crosstour

• The under-floor cargo bin and its removable box collect sand and salt; we take the box out and clean the well
• Ivory leather shows denim dye and grime on the bolsters and needs a leather cleaner and conditioner
• The long sloping rear glass and the lower glass panel below the spoiler both need cleaning inside and out
• The large hood and roof show swirls from years of automatic washes; a one-step polish restores gloss
• Black lower cladding fades and needs a restorer rather than a dressing

Midsize sedans: the family and commuter workhorse

A midsize sedan usually carries the school run, the commute and the weekend grocery trip, which means a rear seat full of crumbs and a trunk full of whatever rolled around in it. Wide doors and large panels reward a proper two-bucket wash.
