The assignment began by clearing the interior. Glove boxes, side compartments, shelves and footwells had to be emptied before every seam could be reached. Waste was separated from items that still belonged in the vehicle, which were stored safely for the handover.

Next came the exterior wash. A coach requires access equipment and a carefully planned sequence to reach the roof and broad side panels safely. After a thorough rinse, the body was washed with suitable shampoo, rinsed again and dried. Wheel arches and other areas often missed by automatic systems were included deliberately.

Interior cleaning started with an initial vacuum to remove loose contamination. Seams, seat rails and narrow spaces were then worked through before a second vacuum removed the material released during detail cleaning.

After the lunch break, the deeper work began. Seats were shampooed where required, glass was cleaned clearly, and the team moved methodically through the rear-view mirror area, centre-console seams and all other contact surfaces.

Once the interior had passed its final inspection under daylight and workshop lighting, attention returned to the exterior. A first polishing stage improved the broad surfaces, followed by a finer stage to refine the finish. Door handles and other inaccessible details were polished by hand where the material allowed.

The day included several demanding traces of real use, from an old drink spill to unexpected residue in the cabin. The finished coach showed why scale does not change the principle: inspect carefully, work in a clear order and check every area before handover.
