Car belongs to my wife and has 67,000km on the odometer. Spent about 7 hours cleaning the interior, engine bay and summer rims which were in our garage since last fall. As you can see the before's are pretty bad so I definently had my work cut out for me. It's been raining hard here for the past couple days so I decided to leave the exterior work for another day but let me tell you the car is 6 years old and has never been clayed or waxed so that will be another long day.



Process:



Engine

rinse with hose

spray with simple clean degreasser and work in with various brushes

rinse with hose

dress with meg's natural shine interior spray



Rims & Tires

rinse with hose

poorboy's spray and rinse x2 on rims

poorboy's apc 4:1 on tires

clayed front face with meg's surface clay kit

wheel sealant and tire shine will be applied when exterior work is done



Interior

Remove loose garbage and vacum interior

poorboys apc 10:1 on all interior carpet, mats, plastic, leather, and vinyl

windex auto glass cleaner on interior glass

carpets and mats extracted with bissel LGCM and hot water

303 on all plastic and vinyl

lexol conditioner on all leather

Thanks for the look
 
looks great man, damn...most people don't take the seats out and take the time to really clean like that. looks like that cheap lil steamer worked pretty well. how's it work on light colored carpets?
 
I couldn't tell you with the light colours I've only used it on dark carpets. The seats are only 4 bolts so I have them out in 5 mins. Since the car hadn't been cleaned in about 6 months I took em out.

Great job! Are you happy with the LGCM? I've been considering picking one up for a while.

I'm happy with it but the suction could be better. I think it's a good machine for what it is and what it costs.
