Client had some paintwork done on a few panels to this Silverstone Metallic TBSS. He opted for a full interior/exterior detail.



The rear cargo area had a BBQ sauce spill that the client cleaned up for the most part.



I started on the interior:

You can still see a little of the BBQ sauce residue to the rear and left of the tie down. You could feel it still deep in the carpet.

Prior to extracting, you want to be sure that all of the dirt is removed from the carpet. Using compressed air and a brush, followed by a thorough vac on the carpets and cloth seating surfaces.



I first pretreated the BBQ sauce area with Bac-Out from Bio-o-kleen, a few other areas that appears to be grease where pretreated w/ Citrusolve. I then did a general pretreat on the remainder of the carpet with ultra pac. After a light working in of the pretreat chemicals, by light I mean just brush them in lightly to the fibers in two directions. No need to scrubb.



I filled my Mytee HP60 with Dry Slurry and water. Let it heat up for 15-20 mins while the pretreat chemicals where dwelling. I then purge the extracting tool into a bucket waiting for some very hot water to pass thru.



After extracting each section I set up air movers/fans to dry the carpet as quickly as possbile.

After the carpets are at least 90% dry, I prep the cloth seats for extraction. I pretreat them with ultra pac using a softer brush. I extract with all fiber rinse in the HP60.



I place 2 fans in the rear cargo area and use the heated drying attachment from the HP60 to dry the cloth seats and finish drying the carpet.



I then steam all the hard interior surfaces with my VX5000 steamer and a little APC on the heavly soiled areas. All areas are then treated/protected with 1Z einszett Vinyl-Rubber Care & Protectant "Tiefenpfleger"



Glass cleaned with IG.



I then move onto the exterior.

As expected after visiting a bodyshop for some paint work there where some holograms and swirls covering most of the painted areas.

Foamed with 2oz of Zaino Z6 and the rest water in my 32oz lance bottle.

Rinsed, refoamed and washed via 2BM and sheepskin mitt.



Tires cleaned with ARO 1:3



Wheels MWB 1:4 and various brushes.



The roof had the most bonded contaminants:

very nice Bryan, I can't beleive that vehicle has cloth interior. I did ine of these a while back with leather. two completly different interiors. You would think all ss models should come in leather for that money. Great work on the vehicle it self! Very nice again Bryan!
 
Great work!



I have a question, what made you use M105 first? To me, it seems like those holograms would clean up easily with 205, both of the trailblazers I've done have had softer paint (black, dark green.) I'm not trying to argue with your methods, just curious.

Thanks Barry! Now that you mention it...it is a bit odd. I'm not sure if he bought it used or new.

I actually tried M86/white then M86/orange and neither would not cut all of the swirls out.
 
You clean carpet the correct way. Nice job getting the airmovers on there to get it dry fast, thats the way to do it and not have problems.

They have multiple interior options on the Trailblazer SS. There is actually quite the price difference as well, you get get an SS for as low as about $26,500 if you option it in that manner.



Great detail, looks awesome!!

Thanks CF! I got most if not all of my carpet cleaning tips from Grouse.

Glad you kept that Mytee now aren't you? :D



It is a very high quality machine and I just did most of our house carpets a few months ago. If my business was on a tight budget, I'd sell it. I just don't do enough extractions. I guess you can say that my paint polishing subsidizes the extractor.
