new poster's first paid detail..02 Outback 56k=no

[Eurosport94]

She only wanted the interior detailed. And this is my first detail where it wasn't just for a family member. I got paid for this one. **And also, the only products I used are regular old Target bought Meguiars/Mothers stuff(other stuff is to $$ for me...im only 20) and also a Bissel carpet vac



Before:

it wasn't really TOO bad to start off with, its only used by an older lady. but some spots still needed attention. alot of dirt ont he carpets, and the dash/console need cleaned bad from spilled coke or something sticky like that. and the front seat backs had some shoe scuffs, and the leather needed a good conditioning

 

[Eurosport94]

After:

Not too bad a result IMO, i think i did a good job. she was pleased with it. And it was my first time ever using a carpet cleaner. The whole job only took me bout an hour and a half.

thanks guys and let me know what you think!!! comments/criticism

Nice job, like you said it wasn't too bad before but you've really freshened it up!



How did you get the scuff marks off the back of the seats?

Lovely job there!

 

[Eurosport94]

the scuff marks came right off with the Meguiars Leather wipes...i was suprised they worked really well

I love that you used no frills OTC products. Stuff that in a pinch, anyone can go buy, if they run out of pro stuff. You were able to make some cash and do a full interior detail with them. Nice job.

Definitely looks better but you might also want to get a good spot cleaner, that stain by the middle hump between the back seats would probably come out with a spot cleaner.

lol scott i saw that too. good lob though and i bet it felt good being able to charge someone(other than family) stoners carpet upholstery cleaner comes to mind, its otc for the most part i think, get a can of it or hot shot and go over bad areas with it first then reg shampoo. how long did it take you?

 

[buzzb]

Folex is awesome at removing carpet spots also and is available OTC. Nice improvement Eurosport94!

 

[Eurosport94]

thanks alot guys. its nice to see some good suggestions for a relatively new detailer! i'll have to get pictures up of the car i detail all the time



it took me about an hour and a half to do everything. so not real bad if i do say so

 

[triDoN]

one small thing you could also do to give it that finishing touch is to buckle the rear seatbelts.

 

[Eurosport94]

oh yeah..i usually do that(do it for every car show im in) but forgot that time



thanks!!!
