    Hey Guys,

    Well, we all know that Banana Boat makes sunscreen, and from the looks of it, the owner probably has a lifetime supply of sunscreen as it was all over the vehicle interior.

    You can bet that control surfaces like steering wheel, gear shifter, seat adjustments, door panels, arm rests, and seats had been stained by the sunscreen. The leather steering wheel looked blue!

    I had detailed the client's vehicle before and he liked the job that I did, so he brought me his parent's vehicle to get the interior whipped into shape.

    The finished pics were taken in the evening so they turn out a bit dark, I don't like the iPhone 4S flash as it makes a huge white spot in the corner of a pic when taken.

    Here we go...:

    Why They Cut Out The Portion Under The Accelerator Pedal Is Beyond Me...It Doesn't Do Any Harm There, But It Gets The Carpet Dirty

    He wanted the exterior thoroughly washed and nothing else, no fancy shmancy detailing on the exterior (the exterior was washed on a different day, as when I completed the Interior, the ground was wet and there was no point to wash the exterior at that time):
