Hiya
I have had ago this weekend while the weather was nice to finally get round to cleaning mums car interior, the car used to be mine but this was pre detailing knowledge days, and therefore never really succeeded with it. Its a Ford Fiesta, 8 years old, with currently over 162,000 miles on. The stained seats have been like this since i had it 5 years ago. I tried nearly every interior cleaning product.
I now realise that spraying and agitating the dirt does no good unless the spray is sucked back up again (wet n dry vac style). I dont have a wet and dry vac, the next best thing a Rug Doctor i borrowed from work (had to do it soon as the contract with my work and the company is soon to be terminated). The interior cleaner was Rug Doctors Upholstery Cleaner and some APC as it always amazes me. My mum has had good comment from here regular passengers about how it looks and smells new, all i remember from my days with the car was how it every time i got in all i could smell was cigarettes.
Ok Befores: (sorry for the poor pictures)
They are all nearly like this
During:
After:
They are not perfect as the machine has isn't to easy with the round contours of the seats but they are hugely improved. Dash Plastics dressed with AG Rubber + Vinyl Care and applied with a Megs Sponge Applicator and buffed excess with a Microfibre.
