    A buddy of mine needed his Audi A4 cleaned, badly. So he gave it to me for the day and told me to really clean out the interior and just wash the exterior.

    Interior:
    The interior was a mess. The mats were dirty and had rocks, sand, and dirt all over them. The dash was dusty and the seats were in okay condition. The door panels looked liked everytime someone got into the car they were kicked.

    I started by taking out the floor mats and giving the interior a good vacuum. After the vacuum I noticed that there was a decent amount of hair, so I used my Meguiar's Hair & Lint Brush to remove all the hair. I then gave the carpets another good vacuum.
    Then this came..

    So then I took on the dash which wasn't in bad condition except one spill and dust build up. After the dash was taken care of I went to the door panels and got rid of all the scuff marks. While I cleaned the door panels I took of a microfiber towel and CG's ONE to clean the door jams. After all four doors I cleaned up the center console. When this was done I cleaned up the seats and then treated them. Then I fired up the pressure washer and rinsed down the floor mats and scrubbed them down.

    Products Used:
    1Z Premium Cockpit
    Zymol Leather Cleaner
    Zymol Leather Conditioner
    GG Rubber Cleaner
    Afters:
    Now, I am not at all happy with the results on the floor mats and the glove box but I couldn't seem to fix up all the scuff marks in them. Does anyone know of a good product to use on floor mats to give them a finished look?

    After the interior was finished and the weather was nice enough I started on the exterior. The wheels were in horrible condition, it looked like they haven't been washed in years. The exterior wasn't in bad condition but it did have some like stained-on grass on it.
    I started out by cleaning the tires and wheels.

    Then I attacked the wheels, each wheels took about 20 minutes or so. After the wheels I rinsed and washed the car.
    Products Used:
    Amazing Roll Off
    CG Premium Blue
    Swissvax Wheel Brush
    GG Car Wash

    AWESOME WORK! I would like to know of a product as well that would fix up the dashboard, if anything even exists for that.

    Those are some of my favorite Audi wheels by the way, very nice!

    Nice job! Not sure how someone could scrap up the dash to bad. I think you would have to dye the dash to restore it.

    Thank you!

    Thanks! Yeah those wheels are awesome, I couldn't believe how dirty he let them get.

    Thank you GBS! That was what I was thinking about the dash, very frustrating working on it but I realized that some scuffs can't be fixed.
