Try this without a steamer

Try this without a steamer. This Xterra was one trashed interior. I’m not sure what that junk was in the console tray but it was no match for the Dupray steamer. I can’t imagine how long it would have taken with APC and brushes.

Egads!
Any idea what that was, Robert?

Fantastic turn-around...even the tight little nooks and crannies are beautiful. I hope you got tipped well or upcharged if the rest of the interior was even close.

Looked like a bed of home roll cigarette tobacco smothered in a rue of Coca-Cola with pennies stuck all over it. Nice work.

Probably could have some the same with a Tornador

Thanks. I think it was a combination of cola and candy melted and left for months. It was hardened and sticky. The rest of the interior was similar and I did ok compensation wise.

That sounds about right. I'm just not sure if the tobacco was Cigarette or something else if you know what I mean. I wanted to ask them how long they had been living in the car.

Tried it first. Wouldn't touch this stuff. It was hardened and had to be melted.

Hill Injection

I've been debating back and forth between a Hill Injection, a Tosca, or a VX5000 for a while now; do you find you need the hot water injection function very often (did you on this job)?
