Ben’s dad’s 2002 Pontiac Trans AM WS6, a low-mileage classic, had been sitting outside for years, needing a refresh to shine for potential buyers. To prepare this iconic muscle car for resale, Tabula Rasa Fine Auto Detailing performed an Essential Interior Detail, Engine Bay Detail, and Gloss Enhancement Exterior Detail using premium products: Gyeon Interior Detailer, Koch Chemie Motorplast, and Koch Chemie Finishing Wax. These services restored the car’s appeal, removing oxidation and haziness while making the interior and engine bay look pristine for showings and listing photos.
Detailing is key to boosting a car’s resale value and attracting buyers. For this low-mileage WS6 Pontiac Trans AM, a thorough cleanup of the interior, exterior, and engine bay was essential to highlight its condition and iconic design. By addressing years of outdoor neglect, Tabula Rasa ensured the car stands out in the used car market.
The exterior detail began with a meticulous hand wash using pH-neutral shampoo and the two-bucket method to safely remove dirt and grime. A clay bar treatment eliminated contaminants like tree sap and dust. To address oxidation and haziness from prolonged outdoor exposure, a gloss-enhancing light polish was applied, followed by Koch Chemie Finishing Wax. This high-quality wax restored the paint’s vibrant shine, enhanced depth, and added a protective layer, making the Trans AM’s sleek lines and bold aesthetic pop for buyer photos.
The interior received a thorough refresh using Gyeon Interior Detailer. Carpets and upholstery were vacuumed and steam-cleaned to remove dust and light stains. Leather seats were gently cleaned and conditioned with Gyeon’s advanced formula, restoring softness and leaving a matte, non-greasy finish. Every surface, including the dashboard, console, and door panels, was treated with Gyeon Interior Detailer for a clean, fresh look, creating a showroom-ready cabin that impresses potential buyers.
The Engine Bay Detail showcased the WS6’s powerplant with Koch Chemie Motorplast. The team carefully degreased and scrubbed engine components, removing built-up grime while protecting sensitive electronics. Koch Chemie Motorplast was applied to give the engine bay a clean, naturally glossy finish that resists dust and enhances durability. This tidy appearance highlights the car’s low-mileage condition, appealing to buyers who inspect under the hood.
The Koch Chemie Finishing Wax sealed the exterior’s glossy finish, protecting it from UV damage and environmental elements. Tires were dressed, and chrome accents were polished to a mirror-like shine. These finishing touches ensured the Trans AM looked immaculate from every angle, ready to captivate buyers during showings and test drives.
