Oh man I wanted to bad!!!! I took on the job without ever seeing it and I couldn't give it back (for a friend). I'm not sure I would have taken it first hand.


I use all sorts of stuff. Simple green, amonia, glass cleaner, virgin lacquer thinner, natures miracle to name a few. Tricks of the trade eh.

I heard it was some sort of yogurt, pop, who knows. I'm sure a little bit of everything. That seat took awhile.

Been in the exact same boat before. I just use a thermax with simple green though.

That's just another reason why I am happy I don't detail anymore. BTW, you missed the door jams!

Looks like you forgot the air vents too, but great job on the seats and carpet, I hate taking detail jobs without seeing them first for this reason.

Nope, I didn't miss them. I didn't do the outside of the car. I guess I could have sprayed some tire shine in the vents to make them picture friendly right? lol

I'm having a hard time believing that ANYBODY could allow their car to get that bad, then sit in it and drive it around every day. I would barf all over....(maybe that's what's on the seat?!?)
