My aunt asked me to replace a headlight bulb in her car while her and my uncle were gone for a few days. After replacing the light bulb, I decided to clean the car up for her. Her and her husband (my uncle) own greenhouses/a dog so its used for everything, hauling plants, dog carrier, junk carrier. I did his car not to long ago (2005 GMC Envoy (trashed interior)) It was mostly an interior job, as the exterior just got a quick wash. I didn't take any exterior pics as it wasn't really bad (dirty) just a lot of tar and the paint is in poor condition. Interior Vacuum with shop vac (6hp) - vacuuming, brusing, vacuuming, brushing... Carpet/seats spots treated with 303 carpet cleaner Carpets/seats scrubbed with a mix of Meguiars APC (4 ounces) and Oxy Brite (1-2 tablespoons) Carpets/seats "Extracted" with the BLGM (I emptied the dirty water container 25 times) All interior panels scrubbed with Meguiars APC (4:1) All interior panels protected with 303. All glass cleaned with Stoners Invisible Glass. Before Some 50/50 shots, the passenger side floor was worse as there was a baby seat in the back on that side. BLGM in action Making progress After The carpet is pretty wore, so a lot of the darker spots are just where the carpet is wore/torn through, not dirt. Sorry for the lack of pics. Towards the end I was concentrating on finishing as they were coming home soon. And for the lack of after pics as I finished 10 minutes before they came home (it was a surprise "clean job")
Looking good. Always good to see seats pulled out. I enjoy doing interiors that way. BTW... Good to see you over here. I am on S10forum (Tex Star Detail)
I would hope your car isn't dirty enough that you would need to be surprised! Awesome save on that interior!!:applause2:
Thanks and yeah I wish I could do all interiors this way, so much nicer to work with and can do a better job. And thanks, always love seeing your posts. You do amazing work man!! That vette was nice!!! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Didn't think it would be that bad, but I guess I should have thought if her husbands Envoy was bad so would hers... Thanks! Hard to explain...but BAD!! lol, she told me later she had spilled apple cider over a year ago, soda spills everywhere, and lotion.
Wow that was bad before! I had to use a LGM this week as my Aztec is being replaced and forgot how small the tanks are on those things. I emptied mine at least 8 times and I see you were 25 times! A real heated extractor makes jobs like those not as bad-still bad, just not "as bad". Great job! Were they shocked at the results? :applause2:
