A couple weekends ago I did an interior detail for a guy selling his IS250 (no pics) and he called me back to do his girlfriends Jeep, his track day MR2 and his buddies Tracer that he`s selling.



First was the Jeep. No before pics of the Jeep, it was just dirty, nothing to nasty in it. Here`s a pic of the finished trunk.

Carpets and interior plastic cleaned with Meguiars APC 5:1

Dressed with Meguiar`s Quick Interior Detailer Wipes

Glass cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass



Next was a MR2 Spyder, we removed the seats to get the carpet fresh and clean. Again, no befores as it wasn`t nasty, just needed a good cleaning

I always give a free car wash with any interior detail:



Washed with ONR.

Wheels/Tires cleaned with the same Meguiar`s APC, then wiped down with an ONR mixed at QD strength,

Tires were dressed with Meguiar`s Hyperdressing 3:1

Exterior glass cleaned with standard Glass Cleaner



Wheel before.

And then the last of the day was the Tracer.



Same process as above, leather was cleaned with Top of the Line leather cleaner, dressed with Lexol.



When I pulled it in, mileage on it was 88888 (sorry for the blurry pic)

It had started raining by this point, so the Jeep wasn`t able to be washed. I was saving it for last, as it was the biggest one to wash.



Thanks for looking.

blue-sun- Other than the Tracer, those three clients are taking pretty good care of their rides, huh? I somehow suspect the Tracer owner might not take the greatest care of whatever he gets next either :nervous:

Yeah, though they told me that the Jeep`s interior hadn`t been cleaned since 2007, it was not that nasty at all! The MR2 only see`s track day use, so it wasn`t too bad.



The Tracer`s owner, he is not "a car guy" at all, so I think that not car guys tend to not care for their cars all that well. He`s a student in chiropractic school, so I assume he doesn`t get much free time to worry about his car. He`s looking for a later IS300 and he took my # down for when we does get that IS300, so hopefully he`ll call me to take care of that one.
