Exclamation Detailing How to Guide Part 2: Vehicle Evaluation

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our first segment on how to Detail your PT! Every good detail starts with a thorough Vehicle Evaluation! This will give you a good idea of what your up against, as far as overall vehicle condition. Does the paint have scratches, and/or swirls? Does the interior have stains, or other areas that need attention? The evaluation is a kind of road map that will help direct you on your plan of attack!

With this said, below are two operate VI (Vehicle Inspection Forms) for you to use when evaluating your PT. The first Form is for the regular PT Model, and the second form is for the PT Convertible.

Once our VI is done, we will be ready to move on to our first step in Detailing, so roll up your sleeves, and prepare to get wet! Yep, you guessed it! In our next segment, we will talk about how to wash your PT like a Pro! Till then, take it easy, and I will see you a little further down the road!
