Spoiled lately...

[Clean Dean]

Today I detailed a pristine 1994 Mercedes Benz E320 Cabrio. The car came out so nice, I wanted to buy it !!! I have had some really spectacular detailed in the past few weeks, and I haven`t had one of these in a while...



These will help bring you back down to earth. A 1991 Hond Accord vs. tons of carpet fresh, sunflower seeds and just down right filth ...

Thanks GSRstilez

You seem to have real firsthand knowledge of taking on these badboys. I have seen some of your b&A`s and I am always impressed by your attention to detail.



Procedure...



* Wet vac and blow out everything with compressed air.

* Clean trim, vents, and console area w/ Spray Nine a few unusual looking brushes and compressed air.

* Clean upholstery with Stoners Carpet and Upholstery cleaner (foam) and agitate.

* Treat carpet stains with Red Heat all purpose cleaner (agitate and let dwell)

* Spary Nine on Doorjams and dress trim and molding with Trim Shine.

* Complete carpet extraction with Detail King`s carpet extraction solution. (Nice clean scent throughout the car).

* Extract upholstery only where needed. (Do not saturate the fabric)

* Dress all remaining trim with Trim Shine and buff out with a MF towel to lesson the shine and give a more clean and new "sheen".

*Final vac w/ wet vac to get out any remaining carpet fresh. (she most have put in 3 or 4 boxes).

* Spray down carpets and upholstery with Pro`s Smoke and Odor eliminator.

*Place blower inside vehicle for about 15 minutes each side while I take on the trunk compartment.



The car had a funky odor and if it returns, I will be back with a ozone generator.

I bought this from my local PROWAX distributer in NJ (PAL Automotive in Piscataway NJ). Check their website to find a distributer near you. This is pretty strong stuff !!!

:bow What a transformation! Good thing Accord have pretty decent carpeting...probably would have taken double the time with a Cavalier or a Neon.



The carpeting now looks brand new and I noticed you took care of the pedals as well! :up

Now this is the worst interior you`ve even seen....



Hey Dean-at least you didn`t have to clean this one! :lol

Judging from most of the pics of cars you detail, you like myself get spoiled when you are detailing cars that you truly enjoy. I have a customer (dealer) who never has a problem with me taking a "spin" with some of the car I really like after they are detailed.



These "daily driver" cars help pay the bills, but it can be hard at times to get yourself motivated to detail a car that is not cared for. You have to love when a "soccer mom" calls you for a detail on her 1999 Chevy Suburban and you hear the 4 grammer school aged kids in the background. :eek:



They always describe the car as pretty clean, except for interior.



EMPTY OUT THE SHOPVAC !!!:eek:

Dean-when I finished that nasty Cavalier, I nearly got a hernia picking up my vacuum! I washed it this past Wednesday and while it wasn`t stained again, it had just as much trash, old food and debris on the seats and carpets. It is really frustrating when you see that after working so hard a couple months before.



I guess I should look at is as job security. :nixweiss

This 98 Navigator I detailed for a dealership last year. Took 2 full days. The car died down the New Jersey shore and was left to sit for over a year.



The interior looked like a family of 10 lived in there for a year and had a food fight with Cola and ciggerette butts on the last day of their stay.:D



Seriously, I wish I had more pics to share. I have no idea where they are stored ???



These are from my website...

Dean-I believe I remember that thread! Just an incredible transformation! I can certainly understand it taking 2 full days. The interior on that Cavalier took over 3 hours and many of the stains would not come out. Looked much better but I still didn`t feel particularly good when I finished even though the owner was thrilled and her fellow employees were impressed.
