In each of our write-ups we try to cover something different, maybe new, to keep things interesting. This is also why the amount of write-ups we post lately is fewer. Here is a perfect case of what we could call a “typical” paint correction and vehicle “prep for sale” cleaning, but with the distinction that everything was done specifically for this client. This shows how AutoLavish accommodates our clients’ requirements.
The potential client contacted us through one of the forums. He was coordinating getting this vehicle from one family member to another, and from Michigan to Florida, within a week. He would like to have it cleaned and protected before it gets to its final destination. Within a few days I picked up the vehicle at the client’s house and drive it to our shop. Our insurance covers us in any aspect of our work, including driving and transporting client’s vehicles wherever we need to get the job done. We would work on the vehicle, and have the Vehicle Shipping Service pick it up at our location. There were a few dents that we would also address at our shop after a phone call to a Paintless Dent Removal company.
Upon arrival the vehicle had to be left outside during the snow as the bay was full with another client’s vehicle. By the time we would pull the vehicle inside it would be covered with snow.
We removed as much snow as we needed to get inside the vehicle. Tim and I attacked the interior with fierce vengeance, using Leather Masters Strong Cleaner / Super Remover / Ink lifter, 1Z Cockpit Premium, Klasse All In One (KAIO), and Meguiar's APC+. All seats got 2 coats of the LM Protection Crème as well. Glass was polished inside with KAIO after it was cleaned with Meg’s Glass Cleaner. Trim was sealed with KAIO. Pedals were cleaned with APC and a stiff brush. Carpet was vacuumed and spot treated were necessary. Everything was wiped down with 1ZCP.
Overall great condition...
Cleaning started with vacuuming all surfaces and crevices:
And scrubbing where needed:
Vacuuming the carpets. Working with high quality carpet is very enjoyable. We love these Mercedes carpets.
Seats:
We started with Leatherique Prestine Clean:
But the dye transfer remained:
So we stepped it up to Leather Masters, which improved the dye transfer situation remarkably:
Afters:
