Thank you CD07. Definitely the toughest interior I've ever worked on.
Interior detailing sucks. People treat their cars like landfills. I despise it and charge so much that almost nobody would ever actually pay it.

Looks great man. I've yet to even touch or research interior cleaning yet. Mainly because my car is just over a half year old. Just do a quick wipe down with a damp cloth and vacuum and it all looks great.

LOL! Yes I agree that I don't like interior detailing at all... Sadly this was my brother so no money aside from materials is coming my way...

Honestly(I think this plays into what you said) many people don't want their interior detailed period. They would rather save the money and have their interior look like shit than have it clean.

I understand what you mean. I had to learn quick as my first truck was a f-150 fx4 with 35" mud tires. Needless to say the interior got very muddy... So that's where I developed these techniques. I just used cheaper stuff.

Great job! The tool lines are a nice touch. I leave them in all my customers cars, No denying the carpet was shampooed with them left behind.

nice work on the interior. Did you hot water extract or shop vac it dry after cleaning? You guys will think im wierd but I love interior work and find it a true challenge to get it perfect. It's not a killer swirl free sun shot that we all appreciate but its gratifying to get carpet that is salt stained and totally gross near factory perfect.

I'm glad you like doing interiors lol... You may be the only one though. I do agree that a tastefully done interior is also a work of art.
And I just shop vac'ed after scrubbing.

The brush in the seat on the finished drivers side pic was used to put the stripes in. You just pull all fibers in one direction and run the brush in alternating directions.
