HUMP DIESEL

This is a two part detail. The client contacted me to come take a look at her vehicle and to give her a quote on what I felt would be the best to do to the vehicle. She wants to keep this vehicle as long as possible, so she wanted it cleaned and conditioned to allow that to happen. We agreed on starting with the interior and then scheduling the exterior at another date. This worked out great for us, since the rain came in over the weekend, and who wants to pick up a freshly polished and sealed vehicle in the rain?
These are how it came to me:

Notice how shiny this leather looks. Full of dirt and oils.

The area beside the console is so tight on these vehicles, this is the only way to truly get to the carpet to clean it. There was staining due to drinks being spilled. We did out best to mitigate the damage, but in the end, the stains are there, just much less visible.
Passenger side seat outside. You can really see how shiny it is under the lights.

Plastic pieces below the seats.
These had the same drink spillage inside, and although no one will ever see this, it was cleaned anyway.

I had my son in to help me on Saturday, he conditioned all the leather and asked if he could do that part everytime.
