E class means Irri-class? nasty interior guide

[kc's]

The day the earth stood still




travelled 400 KM



waited 4 months -


accumulated dust & dirt



more to show

being the most attractive area




stains dried


My buddy being a good host, he usually drive his overseas partners around. A very hospitable person

delayed him for 4 months - as i got ligaments tear from a fall during christmas last year & detailing make it worst


sad to know that most of this VIPs guest couldnt cared much


more stains found at the front passenger seats

aiyah



scuff with shoes stains



more oily stains & film of dirt ages the vinyl

obviously seats are foremost important & attention cant be neglect for hosting our guest


Leather comes in many different styles and finishes. Some are tanned while others have colors dyed into them. All require separate means of cleaning


a luxurious dirt stains door panel - makes the ride uneasy


close up look


more stains on harder area to reach & clean


hmmm....looks pretty neglected & unattractive to comment



the real issue is TIME & knowledge of how to.....many drivers would struggle & ended paying thousands of ringgit just to get their interior done up



look at the rear seats


close up


macro


Leather is an expensive natural product, so when a leather good acquires a stain its owner will want to know how to correctly clean leather. The best method is determined by the type of the stain and the type of the leather.

sweats accumulated on the seats belts - makes them irritable even to straps on

more coffee stains


ta da



more stains found on the bottom - the hidden treasure

look at the back rest - stained seats

Every type of leather is delicate and very susceptible to changes in temperature and weather so care must be taken to keep it in good shape.

The hardest thing about cleaning leather is that the cleaning process can change the leather’s appearance. Since leather is essentially animal skin, it can suffer from much of the same problems as any other type of skin. It can dry out and crack or become permanently stained

hmmm



driver door panel - neglected & dirt accumalated


where treasure are usually hided beneath




the real issue


my buddy struggle with the knowledge to detail himself, moreover everyone feel how inadequate as lack of training to do it on their own

[kc's]

my whole intention is to lead him by his hand & show him how I detail the whole entire car with just 2 products



the all mighty power clean with brushes

& the all purpose protectant (leather protectant)




look at the treasure gotten on both the safety belts nylon & leather


stains gotten into the center console area - how irritating it can be to both the sights & feeling

__________________________________________________ _________________________________________________


I begin with a simple car wash OPC dilution 1:8 water spray on a wet MF & rinse off (intention of stripping all the previous waxes, dirts, suds ) BTW OPC is the only multipurpose cleaner you need for your entire care for both interior & exterior (saving you both headaches & $$$$$) spending of buying a-z cleaners ended up in the shelf redundant .....

follow with ONR as lube & clay


before


after


I usually have an older clay for these highly contaminated & dangerous area to work with


working from 1800 till 0230

getting a bit tired & hungry (knowing my buddy waited for 4 months & travelled 400KM) just to get his ride detail (I sacrifices my little comfort & food)


before



how much stains accumulated



same bottle OPC dilution - using a different brushes to get it clean


ta da


just slightly over 10 sec



the real challenge & enemy
a neglect -


For leather, vinyl, or the dashboard, dilute at 3:1 or as little as 8:1. Spray on and wipe off. For tougher grime and stains use at full strength

Dilute Power Clean up to 3:1 to safely clean leather, vinyl, paint, and plastics. Remove old dash dressings and tough residues from interior panels. Wipe away spills and spots from leather seats. Special polymers and emulsifiers break down contaminants with minimal agitation.

ta da



a 50/50% view for your comparrision


Noted - Cleaning leather can be risky because the cleaning process can change the color or appearance of the leather....Avoid products like mink oil, shoe polish and waxes when cleaning leather furniture or garments....

before - the challenge


ta ta


a neglected leathers


ta da


a further detailing * its an additional for you to consider
deeper cleaning with steamer

on carpet area


on leathers - loosing the dirt accumulated in leathers pores


would have more pics- but both physical & time does not permits me





imagine the amount of time i use

it is not even dress or wax - no whatsoever oil & it makes evenn easier to clean the next round

how little makes more !!!!!!! rather having it dress with oil & get dust trapped & baked under heat to be caked

remember before


only took me OPC wash in 5 minutes (not even dress with any expensive dress )


time to say good night...very very hungry & tired



its 0230 in the morning

leaving behind you yet another detailing trails


thanks for taking yr precious time to view .....

elegantly yrs again





now he only need to do a quick damp MF wipe down bi weekly & condition 3-4 times a year with OLP

less is more - it isnt lesser (consistency pays off - cos no seats like leather seats ) & very expensive to replace or restores them

[kc's]

many thanks to all my wonder friends sharing yr detailing-ship with me - you guys makes a different in my life - thanks for all your wonderful kind words of encouragement & support. God Bless

turning from coal to gem - was simply a test of 8 endurable hours, detailing at this level is a constant fight of physical fatigue and patience, mental endurance, emotional suppressed - it always a lonely battle till you guys came along the way (thanks for all your cheers & encouragement)

far best APC MPC ALL THE PC i have come across - thanks to Doc G...the man behind this great invention
so aggressive till it can used for engine degreaser but yet gentle enough for leathers & paint

thats simple amazing - I would have stop doing mobile detailing without this, cant imagine those days - where I need to pack at least 6-7 types of cleaners

SD,D, APC, WB, LC, ......all this takes to spoils my day - is just simply forgetting one of them - now I only need one & many dilutions
