Very nice, Sparkie!! Love the engine bay. I still haven't had the guts. Nice wet look with that S100 on the white paint!!
Nice job with the interior. I noticed those stripes on the front floormats and thought you were playing around with that striping again. Then I noticed they were already that way before.

Sparkie.....AMAZING. Nice job on the fabric. Everyone looks at the shine pics. Those are easy. Interiors, well, suck.
Great work. You're doing so well.

Reminds me of the one I did.......

Justin, your right!:D

Justin, I do have a question. On the seats, it had Carolina red clay stains. I tried every thing I had to get it out. Folex and little green machine, I have the best luck with, made an improvement, but did not get it all out. So some people use APC on carpet and fabric. What do think would work, and is APC safe on carpet and fabric?

When it's bad, and we have Georgia red clay here, I use Meguiar's Detailer Line APC cut 4:1. It's made for carpets and has optical brightners and fabric softners too. I love the smell. It also has antibacterial agents to help out on the smell.

You can even cut 10:1 making it a deal for 14.99 a gallon!

I may be looking into this. What measurement do you use to dilute it ?

Like I said in my post......
4:1 for tough stuff.
10:1 for everyday detailing. This mix works amazing on caked on bugs as well.

If you're wanting the best bang for the dollar, Meg's Detailer Line cannot be touched. I use them everyday and have had no problems. If you really want to clean wheels.....get Wheel Brightener......4:1 also.
