  • 1997 Nissan Altima

    the only thing I can say is this was unsanitary. There blankets on the rear seats, after removing the blankets and child seats I learned why. I got the interior to pretty decent shape, the stains that were left are never going to be removed anymore. SO here are some pics for your enjoyment:

    -Interior Process-
    carpet/seats:
    -vaccum
    -steam clean
    -APC, the agitate with brush
    -steam clean again
    -vaccum again
    this process was done about 3 times over and over
    plastics/vinyl:
    -cleaned with APC
    -dressed with Hyper dressing

    It was kind of fun watching the steamer melt all the candy/gum away!

    these are going to be all before/after pics here:




















    -Exterior Process-
    -washed with Meg's gold class
    -clay bar with Meg's mild clay
    -cleaned up paint with #83 via rotary
    -sealed with 2 coats of M21

    Before/after pics:


















    couple rear shots:





    Thanks for looking,

    Wow that car was Nasty! How do you even let your car get like that! Great Job!

    I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

    I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
    Remove swirls my friends.

      Nice work, those wheels and interior were pretty bad.

      Looks much better now

          lol, i'm using the Vapor Clean Unilux 3000, and love it! I have actually sold my extractor and simply use this. On a side note, why do all these dirty cars find me! Like that PT cruiser I did a while back:

          to anyone that has kids, they're great, but please no gum/candy/sweet/sticky things in the car, ok? Thanks

            How can anybody possibly drive a car in that condition? I would be so embarrassed. You did a very nice job on it though. Good job!

              After finishing that car, a trip to the health clinic was in order.
              Great results. I have to go wash up now. lol.

                    That interior was really bad..
                    You probably wiped out a number of civilizations in that back seat

                        I had the offer to do a repo car with the interior in similar condition. I had to turn it down; I was thinking to myself, I have seen cars in the junkyard that were cleaner.

                        Looks great!

                          ha that was my thought exactly when I first saw the car.
