Wolfgang on a Red Wrangler with a hefty interior cleanup

[stilez]

So, I was supposed to do this Wrangler last week, but rain forbid. Anyways, I will be washing this along with a Sienna and a boat once a week.



So the owner mentioned she wanted to get new carpets put in and I asked why. She showed me how messy they were. I told her how they would go in and that they`d be cheaper since they were in sections (she`d just buy the backseat sections). But I told her to let me go at them and then we can talk from there. I vacuumed em, then pretreated with APC+ 8:1, shampoo`d with my oxy mix x 2 and then extracted. She was amazed!

I did the rest of the interior with Water:Woolite (6:1) and protected with 303.





For the exterior, the paint was pretty clean. It is a `97 and has been garaged since. They only wanted a light polishing and sealing so I chose Wolfgang. I love it on red, so I had to do it :D . My final steps were:



-Mother`s Gold Wash

-Wolfgang Pre Cleaner via rotary and LC polishing pad @ 1000rpm

-Wolfgang Sealant via hand



-AA on tires, wells, all plastic trim, and softtop

-Rain-X, then Gliptone glass cleaner on all glass

I was quite happy with the results as was she. I will be layering Wolfgang as I go, so I will keep the results posted here.



Enjoy!

Amazing results on the carpet. Any possible way you could give a more detailed description on how you got it looking like that? I always have probelms with carpets.

Killer job, great work on the interior, that carpet looks brand new.

Thanks Beason...Real quick---



Mix 2 scoops oxy clean in a bucket with 2 gallons of water (the warmer the better). Mix it up and let it saturate for about 5 mins. Vacuum and spray the APC solution generously on the area desired. Generously apply the oxy mix with a nylon medium stiffness brush (w/handle) and work a small section at a time...front to back, left to right. I do the mats first, then carpet. I`ll do the seats with a separate mixture so it`s clean. I then use a shopvac with the filter removed to extract the solution out. Repeat if necessary!





edit: Thanks travisdecpn!

Wow man. Im amazed at the results from the carpet. Great job!

[PFDarkside]

Yeah, outstanding job on the interior. I`m going to have to give that a try on my truck

Nice before and afters on the carpets:up I am sure your client was very happy with the results.



Oxyclean does a nice job but if mixed with cold water the cleaning ability seems to lessen greatly. Hot water works great!

Alright, I`m going to have to give the OxyClean idea a try after seeing those pics. The turn around on that interior was just amazing!

Terrific work, Sean! Another option on those Jeep carpets is to completely remove them, scrub them down with what you were using, then blast them off with the hose. Squeegee them out and hang `em in the sun to dry.
