Hello everyone! One of my friends asked me to clean the interior of his car, his beauty, I’d say, a lovely Mercedes from the 1990’s. It was cleaned it in December last. We were supposed to steam clean it. Very early the following day I started. I put on the steamer, vacuumed the whole interior, and did some scrubbing. And surprise, surprise. The steamer was leaking, no steam coming out and part of the car was wet already. I put my belief in Almighty that I might do it without the steamer. So I persevered. The sunroof area The headliner A little 50-50 Almost done, will require a little more agitating The pillars, same for others What is removed…? The arm rest A little section cleaned to show the difference The console area A not so 50-50 at the top Close-up: in action Getting the original color OMG! More than 5 liters of juice: the headliner, arm rest and console area combined More The seats Close-ups Pure sand, from the white sandy beaches of our sunny island From top to bottom Cleaned, cleaning, not yet cleaned From this Restored to dirt-free original color This is pure seat nectar rops: Moving onto the carpets The driver’s seat area I thought I would be best to remove the carpet completely And look Cleaning every nook and cranny The rear seats areas Feeling happy & blessed More Finished Hello Still more to add to this collection Doors not ignored And from the always smiling vac Benz smoothies Not good to see… just to show dirt is not our friend but our intimate enemy Before Now The boot lid It was already dark, I had one more thing to do. The console area scratches Close-up I thought it would be so cruel, so unfair to let this ride go with these. I polished it, +75% of the scratches were removed. I only got the finished pics of the same 3 months later and the beauty leaving I was finishing with a courtesy of the Mrs. rops: Thanks for reading, your thoughts and comments are most welcome Happy detailing weekend cheers Zaid
Nice job guy, interior was never clean since 1990? And congratulations for console area, which polish you use? Sorry for my bad english...
Thanks a lot DonFabio merci beaucoup It was not cleaned for years, and had so much dirt and stains For the console area I used Menzerna 203S and a white Lake Country applicator pad. it took some time and efforts but it came out nicely and for the whole car 1.A coat brush (can be used as a leather brush) 2.a tooth brush 3. some microfiber towels 4. a soft detailing brush 5. a bottle of Bilt Hamber surfex HD diluted 1: 15+ 6. Hot water 7. My dry Numatic vacuum (turned into a wet vac by removing the dust bag .... it was risky I know but it still works well thanks God. cheers Zaid
