| | | Pre treat coffee stains w/ Folex 2:1
1 bucket HOT water + Hoover citrus carpet clear
1 bucket HOT water only
Meguiars interior brush
Bissell LCGM w/Hot water only.
I "cut" the car into 4 sections, driver front, driver rear, pass front, pass rear.
Pre-treat stains for the seaction you will be working on next while you are working on a sepeate section. Starting with pass front. Get bucket of hot water + cleaner "scoop out combo onto carpet. Once that section is fully wet in your solution scrub the carpet. Use LGM to suck out the begining of the water to see where you are at in terms of "clean carpetness." If it isnt to your liking put more solution on teh carpet let is set for about 30 secs - 1min, and then scrub again. suck up the water/solution again. Once you are about satiusfied with your results, pour HOT water on the carpet, push the water around so that it touches all of the section you are working on. Suck up the majority of the water, and repeat again about 3 times. Then go over it about 2 times spraying more rinse water through your LCGM. Go over it as long as may times as you need to to get the remaining loose water out of the carpet. Once you don't see much water coming up through the hose, stop and go to your next section, let the rest air dry.  |

| | Nice work, I have a couple questions for you.
1. How much did you charge if you dont mind.
2. I assume those seats weren't powered because I don't see any wires. Do they have airbags? Do you know if there is danger removing seats with power or airbags?
Nice work again, hope you like the Little Green, I didn't.  |

| | | 1 ) $60 and I traveled. I did it for a friend. Once I realized how much work it was, I probably would have charged about $100. Total time was 4hrs.
2) The seats were manual, with no Airbags in the seats. I honestly don't know if there is a danger in removing those seats. The customer removed them when I got there. Took less than 5 minutes, but made such a difference in ease of cleaning. |

You did not charge enough for the amazing job you did! Should have been 150-200.00.
Just a complete turn around.
Try to get 50.00 an hour once you start going. With results like that, you'll get referrals in no time! |
