Yes caution at all times is really important I have a friend where in a previous job I had in auto detail he got literally his thumb hook in a fish hook lol kinda funny but bloody and crazy.

Great job Kris! Car looks 100 time better and I have no doubt the customer will be extremely happy!

As someone else stated I think that's the interior detail of the year! And it's early 2011!

Looks great Kris!!!!

Looks much better.

That interior was a mess!

What is on the shifter knob that would not clean up?

What a turn-around! Great job!

Thanks man! I used APC and a steam cleaner first. Then soaked the carpets and seats in deodorizer. I used the extractor to wet areas down...then scrubbed real good to create a foam, then let it sit. Then hot water extracted the crap out of it, ha.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll get something dirtier before the year is up, haha.

You know, I'm not quite sure. It almost seemed like the shift knob was made of wood, and it corroded. I messed with it a little bit. But I decided to just leave well enough alone, it wasn't cooperating with me.

When you get into older vehicles like this...things are so fragile. You could either clean it, or break it for good, ha. I was scared of all the controls and stuff. Cause amazingly...everything worked. I just didn't wanna have something fail cause I cleaned it. There was so much gunk in between the controls, it had to be scrubbed.

The Dodge Daytona was a cool looking car back in the day. Great job detailing this Daytona. Finding the needle was a little scary though. Keep up the great work.

Nice job, great turnaround!

BTW; thanks for the stroll down memory lane. After reading your thread it got me thinking about a full correction my son and I did together on an almost a 30 year old Datsun (his first ride) last summer. One of the best weeks of my life, my son and I breathing life back into that old Datsun.
Here's a link (hope you enjoy it too)...
