    I really have to admit that HD Total is the best interior cleaner I`ve ever used. Very gentle and extremely effective. Perfect balance. :first:

    Thats very impressive. Shows that the extractor really isn`t necessary if you know how to do it. Great Job.

    Charge more! We charge something in the ballpark of $1k for something like this. Can`t run a biz if you`re losing money!



    I`ll definitely have a look at HD products and give them a test run when I get a chance. Did you use the regular cleaner on the leather, as well?

    I know this is an old thread but was this "safe acid" cleaner ever developed?

At the end, I did the same thing with PROTECT and had equal results. I have no doubt that my go-to cleaner would have destroyed this coating.


    Somewhat off the main subject but it may be useful info:



    Interior Trim Coatings - some interiors suffer from the substandard coating that are used on the interior parts of certain models (Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo, Porsche, Aston martin, BMW, Mercedes Benz, etc.) Buying new parts can be very expensive, and there is no guarantee that the parts will not become sticky again. ‘Stickynomore’ offers a refinishing service that eliminates the need to buy new, expensive parts; by refinishing your existing parts to a standard that befits an exotic car - Sticky No More - Exotic Cars Interior Refinishing Services
    What gets overlooked too often is that one must be a student before becoming a teacher.

    Sorry for not replying to people on here sooner. Glad people are still showing interest in HD TOTAL even since it`s been laying kinda low lately waiting for a make over.

    So true Mike. Extractors are certainly a nice tool to have, but there are other ways to get things done.

    Please do and let us know what you think. And yes, HD TOTAL was the only cleaner used on this interior. Extremely safe on all interior components including leather which is it`s specialty.

    Good memory. Tunch has almost got it finished, but is waiting on certification so it can be sold/shipped. I`ve never heard of an acid based wheel cleaner that won`t harm your skin, but he`s done it.

    Great info John. I simply dread these soft/sticky coatings with a passion. You have to be extremely careful not to ruin them.

    Looks beautiful. I loved your usage of a tooth brush. Amazing how a simple little produce can be used to clean such an advanced piece of machienery.
