    Hey everyone, had a pretty light day today. Had a maintenance wash/vac and a special order trashed interior for a co worker....

    Nothing much but I havent posted a click and brag in a while and I love the Z!

    First up 2004 350Z Convertible:

    Wheels/Paint cleaned with QEW
    Tires dressed with CG Liquid Extreme Shine (first time Ive used it, and I LOVE it!)
    Paint protected with a coat of AW until next maintenance visit, where she will probably get either Z2 or XXX hardcore....
    Interior Vac'd and cleaned with Megs Quick Interior Detailer










    Next up is this neglected interior, it was a coworkers car so she got a little discount. I really dont know how people can drive like this!

    Products used:
    Folex
    Megs APC 4:1
    Megs APC 10:1
    Megs Interior Brush
    Megs Rubber/Vinyl Protectant
    JW Satin Prot
    Stoners IG

    Here is what I took out of the car: Keep in mind every garbage bag you see is FULL! Yea, thats how much crap was in her car! (Shoes, purses, pants, work clothes, food wrappers, drink cups, school books, makeup, etc....)



    Heres what I was left with after all the crap was taken out of the car, I wish I took some pics before I took everything out:







    Too bad I didnt have more befores, I just wanted to get it done, heres some afters:











    A nice easy day, too bad I dont get these all the time!

    Man I love the XXX. So easy to apply and buff off, and it looks really wet. Give it a shot, the price is definitely right.

    Thanks Jim.

    I figured for the price it should be close to 50/50 or Petes. I am thinking about Nattys red as well.

    I appreciate that Al. I used to hate doing interiors, but I'm coming around now after seeing so many faces light up when they open their doors.

    Im starting to get better and better at interior work. Its amazing what the right products can do!

    Thanks again!

    I learned that lesson today. I did a buddy's wife's Mountaineer and I was really, really proud of the wash and paintwork I did on it, (second time using rotary and algae EVERYWHERE) and they walked up to the vehicle and kind of Oooed and Awed, then they opened the door and their jaws dropped! I need to start developing a passion for what they want done, not just what I'm most proud of.


    Nice work on the interior, btw. Does it seem that the worst cases are always discounted?

    Thanks again Al, Angelo and Bryan!

    Ruining - Thanks for the compliment. You are spot on, the worst cases are always the ones discounted (weird but true)
