2010 Mercedes GLK350. Owner was referred to me by a customer, she has a couple of kids so not only do they make a mess inside, but she has no time to take care of it herself. She did warn me in advance the interior was a mess, something I definitely appreciate. Usually I hear "oh, its pretty clean", like I won't notice the interior looks like a landfill when I actually get there. But she said it was trashed and she was correct:



Usually my son does the interior and I do the exterior but for some reason (I can't imagine what it was :lol ) he said he would do the wheels, wash and clay if I would work on the interior until it was ready for polishing. Apparently it had been a really long time since the exterior was washed because I was able to get a lot more done inside than I expected before he had the exterior ready for polishing. He typically can ONR a vehicle as fast as me but he said it had a lot of built up grime everywhere. But funny enough, due to the lack of washing, the paint didn't have any swirls! I guess if you just don't touch your paint, you don't put swirls in it. :wink1:
ONR wash, Opti-Raser Pink to clay
Optimum Power Clean @ 3:1 and ONR to clean wheels and wheel wells
Optimum G-P-S using an Optimum MF polishing pad and my Rupes 21 DA
ONR wash and wax @ 32:1 to clean glass
Armor All on tires/wheel wells
Dealer emblem removed from back of vehicle
Vacuum for about 40 minutes...
3D Carpet Shampoo @ 16:1 to clean carpets and mats, then re-vacuumed
Woolite/water @ 20:1 to clean the vinyl (seats were MBtech, not leather)
Meguiars Interior QD on dash, console and door panels
Optimum Protectant Plus on seats
ONR wash and wax @ 32:1 on wood trim




Sorry, hadn't cleaned the steering wheel when I took this...trying to finish up, get everything done, never got another shot
