well, im gonna do a car on saturday, and its the first time that im gonna do an interior for some one else, so im really nervous. i need some recommendations, and i have some pics for you to look at. so far, heres what im planning to do

vaccum
303 cleaner
poorboys natural look

i need some comments and recomendations
 
closer view of the drivers side. this is where im plannig to use the 303 cleaner, it seems really dirty, but im not too sure how im gonna get the stuff out after i apply it.
 
heres the dashboard, im planning to use the natural look on this


final questions: do i use anything for the gas/brake/steering wheel etc? do i use anything on the sides of the doors?
 
I would highly recommend you do not put any protectant on the gas/brake pedals. Clean them, yes, but any protectant and you could potentially have a slippery surface. Obviously something you definately do not want.

Best advice I can give to you is to treat that customer's car as if it were your own.

just use water? i wouldnt want any mad/injured customers, espcially because this woman is really, really, really nice. hey rob, nice to see another local boy around. i guess that makes four of us that are from hawaii.
 
I use Megs APC+ (12:1) on the pedals when I clean my interior. Any APC will work just fine, though. I like that Orange Balst stuff pretty well. A tooth brush and a little car wash soap will also do the trick. Make sure you don't leave any soap residue for when the owner gets in with wet feet one day (slippery pedals!).
 
Using a APC to clean before you put on any dressing on. That way when you lay down the dressing you will get an even coating. If there is anything on the plastic the dressing will not lay evenly. The rest of the car looks in great shape hit it with the vac, brush up any areas that may have stains and re-vac. Good Luck!!
 
wow, that sounds like pretty important advice. k, ill get the all purpose cleaner from megs or something, ill see if i can find it somewhere locally.
