Acura TSX nasty interior detail

[rbss]

I had the pleasure of detailing this Acura TSX interior and thought I haven't posted anything in Show N' Shine in a while so here you go! When I showed up to inspect the car I was not expecting it to be as bad as it was but that's why I always tell my customers price is not finalized until after inspection!
I also explained being a 9 year old vehicle with light colored interior that there will be stains that will not be completely removed. Leather was not thoroughly cleaned and conditioned(was not in the budget?) After talking and making sure we were on the same page the fun began.

Products:
Ulitma Interior shampoo gel
Folex
Meguiars D101 APC
Meguiars D108 Super Degreaser
Meguiars D120 glass cleaner
Black Fire Interior protectant
Pinnacle poly Clay (nasty contaminants on windshield interior side)
No rinse as clay lube

Mculloch steamer and bissell proheat were used to to get the job done


Is that gum! Yes! Also found gum in passenger seat and carpet.

Actually it cleaned up pretty easy. I used Ultima interior shampoo and a microfiber. Other vehicles have been more stubborn and had to treat with Ultima or APC agitate then use steam and a microfiber.

Weird question, but about how long did you spend on the initial 1st step vacuuming? On an interior that bad I can easily spend about an hour or more just on the 1st step vacuuming getting as OCD as I can. Curious to how other people go about it.

Probably about an hour. I started with a quick vacuum then used my PC with brush attachment then vacuumed again. The carpet and mats released the dirt much easier then most other vehicles I have done. If it wasn't for that It probably would have taken longer.

That PC brush, is it the white 1? Or what color is it? I've seen a good deal for the white 1 and have been thinking of picking it up if it's the ideal brush.

Kudos to you for not only doing a 100% turn around on this car, but for even doing it!!!!!! That was disgusting!

I use the aqua soft carpet brush but the white would be good also.

It was definitely a glove, mask, and eye protection kind of detail lol.
