Up for detail today is a 2010 Mazda Mazda5. I was asked to clean it up so they could sell it. This thing was nasty. When I picked it up, I first noticed the seats and the massive amounts of stains on every single one of them. Then I tried to put it into reverse and the shifter was sticky. It smelled like vomit and spoiled milk. It was absolutely disgusting. This thing took me much longer than I had expected, but in the end, the results were worth it.

Thank You!


 


I dont take many breaks, I just pop in my headphones and go.
 
What did you Foam the engine with? Apc?

You took a pc mounted brush to your wheels?

I have an ultra soft one, that I would even be

worried about. Am I overly paranoid?
 
never heard of the meguiars odor eliminating bombs.


 


also never seen opt spray wax used for wheels. is it to shine them up and for protection?


 


other wise awesome work. i hate having a dirty interior.

Not to the wheels, I use it on the tires, its effortless, just pop the brush and, i use setting 3 on my pc and go to work. I feel that if i had to do that on the wheels, im using the wrong product to clean them.

The odor eliminating bombs are new for this year, you can find them at walmart for about $6. The spray ways on wheels works just like any other sealant when appied to wheels. It repels water, dirt,and brake dust and keeps them cleaner longer. They also get "glossier" because of the wax
