Car Detailing for Subaru Outback

Detailing your Subaru Outback

The Outback is the official car of Ontario cottage country, and nearly every one we detail has a dog, a canoe rack or a set of skis in its history. The cargo area gets a rubber brush for the hair and an extraction for the sand, and the StarTex upholstery on the Onyx and Wilderness wipes clean once the hair is out. Up top, the roof rails hide sap and dirt under their crossbars. We finish with a sealant that makes gravel dust rinse off.

What we watch for on a Outback

• StarTex water-repellent upholstery wipes clean but holds dog hair in its texture and needs a rubber brush
• The roof rails with swing-out crossbars collect dirt and sap underneath and are cleaned from above
• Wilderness trims have copper accents, all-terrain tires and extra cladding that pack mud into the arches
• The cargo area is almost always full of dog hair, sand or ski-boot grit and needs extraction
• The hitch area and the rear bumper step get salt-crusted and scratched

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.
