2001 BMW 325. Just an interior detail on this one.

A bit rough inside.

Water and Woolite HE (20:1 dilution) to clean the vinyl and leather, BioKleen Traffic Lane Cleaner for the carpets. Here you can see the difference between the now clean center section and the rest of the back seat.

After cleaning:

Leather dressed with Leather Master`s Leather Vital, vinyl with Optimum Protectant Plus. Opti-Seal on the wood trim.

2003 Mercedes SL500 and 2004 S500. Detailed the SL at the husband`s office and his wife`s S-Class at their home. I`ve been taking care of these two vehicles for about 5 years now. Overall they were both in decent shape although the wife`s car needed more interior cleaning since that is the car the kids ride in. What is amazing is how swirl free the S500 is for a 5 year old vehicle. The SL is pretty good too, especially for not having the ceramiclear paint like the S-Class does.

Both were polished with my G110 and a yellow Meguiars polishing pad using Meguiars D151. Paint was sealed with Opti-Seal and the SL was topped with Optimum Car Wax.

Interior was cleaned and dressed the same as the 3 Series BMW.

2005 Touareg. Owner had a new BMW X5 on the way so the VW is up for sale. The interior was surprisingly clean considering the owner has two young kids. Outside had a few dings and nicks and a line down the tailgate from backing into something. Same process as the cars above, D151/Opti-Seal, Water/Woolite, BioKleen, Leather Vital and OPP.

Looks dark outside because storms were on the way, owner got it back in the garage with about 30 seconds to spare. Seriously.

nice work scott. Everything just turned out so well.

Nice o see the D151 in action. Now swirls or holograms or anything using the D151 with a Yellow Pad?

Great Scott, Scott! That Bimmer was filthy.

**Bigpoppa3346** · 12-01-2009, 04:59 PM

Awesome work! What brushes/tools did you use with the Woolite to clean the leather in the Bimmer?

I love that S500, still oozes class despite being a 10 year old design.

consistent excellent work Scott, your interior turnarounds always impress me!

Awesome! What is your process for cleaning carpets? I have an extractor but I can never seem to get the carpets as clean as I think they should be

**drifts500** · 12-01-2009, 07:10 PM

I`ve tried D151 with a rotary and can`t get it to consistently finish out hologram free so I use it exclusively with my G110.

Bigpoppa3346-I use a nylon bristle brush to scrub, microfiber towels to wipe clean.

thedetailer-I use BioKleen`s Traffic Lane Cleaner, which has a 32:1 dilution ratio, so a single gallon makes 32 gallons of carpet cleaner. After vacuuming, I spray down the carpets in the section of the car I am working, making sure to wet any visible stains, then allow to dwell for 5 minutes while I clean the leather and vinyl in that section (by section, I mean a single seating area of the vehicle). then I scrub the carpets with a nylon bristle brush-deep stains may require using my PC with a Cyclo carpet brush attachment, then wipe up with a microfiber towel. I then go over the carpets with my wet-vac and then do a second wipedown. Actually goes pretty fast unless the interior is trashed. It typically takes me 30-40 minutes to clean the carpets, seats, dash, console and door panels. Full sized SUVs around an hour or so. That is just cleaning, not dressing.

Everyone-Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

Hey, i worked on one of these too! Did you happen to notice if there was any peeling surfaces on the center console?? Not from chemicals, just "wear n tear" ? I found that difficult to work around
