Guys I am trying to get in a set manor on cleaning cars. I need to know any secrets out there that can make it easier on me cleaning. I cleaned a womens car this past weekend and it was so filthy.. She just wanted me to clean the outside and the inside. It was a kia suv and was tiny. I told her I would do it for 25.00 she said no its dirty here is 40.00. I figured hey it cant be that bad. The exterior was not bad except the rims. They looked like they have never been cleaned. The inside has trash and dirt. I started by getting all here junk out and taking out the mats. I started the shop vac and vacc'd the whole car. The seats had dog hair all over them and was almost impossible to get. Then I sprayed all here carpet seats with tuff stuff. ( I am waiting on some APC). I let it sit and then vacc'd it again. Then brought out the 6:1 woolite and sprayed the doors dash, just about everything. Wipped it down. ( man all my terry towels have lint gotta get some microfibers that dont have it). I was pretty happy after that with the interior. Then I went full strength purple power on the rims 3 times to clean them. I ended up having to scrubb them with a towel to get the left over brake dust off. I washed the car 2 times. Then I cleaned the interior and exterior glass and dressed the tires. I started the process about 1230 that afternoon and was done i'll say around 4pm! :ticked

what type of towels do you use on the interior so there is no lint, for the dash, windows, pannels.

The biggest thing is to get a process in order. Most people waste time by doing it in the wrong order. For example, while you are waiting for wax to dry, you could be dressing the tires. Also, before you vacuum the interior make sure you clean the dash and console so that anything that drops is just going to get vacuumed up later. Dress all of the plastics inside before you clean the windows just in case you get overspray on them. There is a logical order to do things that will make sense when you have more practice. It used to take me 4 hours to do what I can do in 90 minutes now. It all comes with practice.
