    Glad you enjoyed it. Regarding my leather cleaning method this is what I do. I get a bucket and fill it up with hot water. I spray the leather cleanner on the leather, dip the applicator in the hot water to get the applicator moist. Then I scrub the leather with the applicator. Depending on how bad the leather is I'll dip the applicator in the hot water to remove dirt from the applicator, that way I'm not just getting the other leather trims dirty. Once I'm done clensing all the leather peaces I dump the hot water which by this point should be dirty. I once again get hot water and dip the microfiber in the hot water, ring it out and wipe the leather to remove the cleaner. I sometimes use two buckets...but that's just me.

    I just purchased a unit that will make cleaning the leather much, much easier. This method works great but it takes time and time is precious :thumb:

    Glad you enjoyed it, I sure miss detailing but just a few more days and I'll have my light system in my garage ready to go :shrug:

    Glad you enjoyed it Buddy, I have been detailing but with such poor lighting in my garage it's a huge challenge to get good quality pictures for the write up :shrug: Soon though, just a few more days.

    Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the feed back very much appreciated.

    Thank you :chest:

    Glad you enjoyed it :peace:

    I'm with you. I haven't advertised interior shampooing for about 6 or 7 years. Its amost impossible to make them profitable. I tell people I don't do shampooing...I only detail clean cars. That comment is usually followed by silence. Priceless! Awesome job Carlos, but you already knew that!

    Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful :thumb:

    lol yea interiors can be a pain but I find them very rewarding just like doing a paint correction. It usually takes me at least 4hrs to do an interior if not longer, I can see how some of you guys don't enjoy doing interiors. Thanks for the feed back 911 :peace:

    Awesome job as always Nica. How do you like Lexol? I've never tried it before.

    I don't mind Lexol, but lately I've been using Zymol Leather Cleaner and Treat. So far I like them both and have a hard time choosing between the two :shrug:

    :nod: you bet it will, heat does wonders to leather :thumb: Here in Canada the sun is something we don't have much off, so that's why I use my lights to heat it up.
