Here`s an 06 PT Cruiser I did this weekend with less than 4000 miles! A classic example of what kids can do to a new vehicle. My customer came to me all the way from Miami (2 hours) because he is trading it in and wanted to to look new again. This is a classic example of how detailing can increase the value of your vehicle. There`s no way an extractor could of cleaned these seats. Enjoy.

Just my luck, it starts to rain right when I start washing it.

Dirt was pouring out of the wheels and wheelwells. No way ONR/QEW wouldn`t have stood a chance with this one.

After I pulled the seats, here`s how it went:

This is what kept coming out of the seats with conventional cleaning. It wouldn`t stop lifting:

Realizing I was wasting my time doing things by hand, I pre-soaked & scrubbed with Auto Magic 713 Special Cleaner:

The wheelwells were so clean you could eat off them:

The owner didn`t want it waxed, so I clayed it with Auto Magic Blue Clay Magic and then Hydroshined all the paint (including door jambs):
