    This is not dirty. this is beyond dirty.

    The car was owned by a restaurant chef. Thank god he bought seat covers. I can only do so much given only 6 hours. The rest of the interior is typical.

    Product used:
    DP pre-carpet treament and carpet cleaner.
    Simple Green APC diluted.
    303 fabric cleaner.
    Meguairs interior protectant spray.
    Poorboy's trim restorer.
    Stoner glass cleaner.
    Varies brushes.

    All door jams, sills, inside/outside glasses, and Interior handles cleaned.

    Toyota Highlander arrived

    i completely feel you on this one. I had a customer (R.I.P) that was a chef and he drove an older beater volvo to and from work for this exact reason. The amount of grease that travels with them on their bodies, clothing, and shoes is UNREAL. Like seriously unfathomable. His other cars were perfect so it really had nothing to do with his own personal cleanliness.

    Great job, what a difference on that drivers mat.

    I am pretty sure he tried his best to keep clean. Despite the fact he is a smoker, the astray and lighter were unused. He has 3 layers of floor mats, seat cover, and steering wheel cover. but I recommended him not to wear his kitchen shoe home. What his does must be required lots of elbow grease.

    Welcome to the forum!

    I've found that interior-only jobs are always nasty, because the owner wouldn't pay somebody money if it wasn't "that bad". They wait until they can't stand to sit in it and pawn the mess off on us lol. Great job on that interior!

    amazing turnaround!!

    I completely understand how difficult it is to maintain a tan highlander interior. I own a Highlander in the same color/interior combo. The tan interior gets stained really easy. Folex / Majestic Solutions Extraction Plus / Autoglym's Interior Shampoo have been lifesavers.

    I used to work at a auto body stamping facility where I was exposed to hydraulic oil and its mist all the time. My leather interiors were always a mess!!
