Hey All,
Haven`t been active on here in a long time since I got too busy for my side detailing business. However, I just purchased a new car and the detail shop has unfortunately (even after repeated requests and specific instructions not do so) applied a lovely greasy protectant to every single piece of the interior, to include the leather seats. I could not speak for the first minutes as i stared at the soon-to-be-many hours of time (of which I do not have at all at the moment) it was going to take me to fix this egregious error that I knew was going to be a royal PITA. :vomit:
After moving on from outrage, I got it home, topped up my 10:1 Water:Woolite mixture and attempted to go to town on both the seats (with boar`s hair brush) and other interior pieces (with various MF). While it seems to be doing the job, it is taking a while and I`m running through a ton of MF`s and buckets of water/soap as it immediately recontaminates it and renders it almost useless after each panel. This stuff is so nasty it`s incredibly hydrophobic, requiring a ton of soap to cut through it while concurrently rendering the towel and applicator tainted with residue that then transfers to the bucket, rendering both useless and requiring a change. Lather, rinse, repeat.
That said, I wanted to query you all and see if there was any better method or products that may have surfaced in my hiatus over the past few years. I have some left-over DPP Total Interior Cleaner as well but I really don`t want an orange-y smell on the interior that takes away from the new car smell. Yes, I`m OCD and very particular, why else would I be on this forum?
Any tips or insights, even if it`s simply "that`s the best way to do it, just keep pushing through", I`d greatly appreciate it.
Thanks, all!
