Detailing Interiors...Love It Or Hate It ?

[Levithan9]

I've been cleaning my own cars for years now. Sometimes, I really let the interior of my truck and my camry get really bad. I have a full time job as an auto technician, and on weekends, my friends or people who've heard of my quality of work call me and want me to work on their car. But, when I start cleaning my cars out, I clean the ever-loving s&*t out of them.

I have always taken out the front seats to make sure i get EVERYTHING thats on the carpet. When me and my wife were first married, she saw me taking out the seats, and thought I was buying new ones. When i remove a dash to get to the evaporator coil, i take the seats out. Makes it easier to move around inside, and you can usually get 3 poeple inside to help with a heavy dash.

It also exposes the center console and any drinks that may have spilled and ran down the sides and onto the carpet. Which makes it easier to clean. Since i know how to remove trim pieces, i can really get in there and get all the crums and dirt out from between the cracks. And look at all the real-estate thats opened up. It's like a black canvas for a paint brush in the form of a hot-water Extractor.

I love doing interiors, because thats where i spend most of my time when i'm driving. I also like to ride with a fresh wash and waxed paint, but here in Houston, theres always SOMETHING on the road to ruin your 4 hour wash, seal, wax, glaze job before you get to the corner store for a beer.

So, having said that, how do you guys feel about doing interiors? Do you ever take the seats out to really clean up the carpet? do you enjoy them, or dispise them? Or am i the only one that likes doing them ?

I think i suffer from Howard Hughes Syndrome....

I'm starting to enjoy the insides more.
I know my customers like the inside work more.
I get more satisfaction out of doing the interiors

Like you said....there is always something to get the outside dirty the next day...rain...dust...snow

Love doing interiors because I can add a personal touch of clean & appearance like it is my own car. When you do care for your car and is not about just making $$$ you enjoy every aspect of detailing!!!

Absolutely hate it. I won't do it unless it is a paint correction combo.

I hate hair.

Detailing interiors I really like doing because it is just as rewarding like a paint correction but more so its also amazing to restore a very dirty interior back to like new condition plus this where you will spend most of your time and you wants to feel comfortable, relaxed, and at ease knowing that your paint is as clean as your interior...just my eight cent

Absolutely hate it. I won't do it unless it is a paint correction combo.

However... I very much enjoy seeing the before and after pictures that others post of neglected interiors.

Dislike it.

Rather do corrections, especially when theirs dog hair, or coffee stains all over

If it's one of Mark's (VP) interiors I hate it, if it's one of Scott's (naples,fl) interiors I love it
