Looks great how were the seats. King Ranch leather is tough to clean.

They were wrecked
I cleaned them with an extremely mild mix of APC.
They needed to be fully reconditioned. They were almost chalk white, they took 1 1/2 bottles of KR conditioner, managed to get them to about 90%
 
Well that was a major correction all around! Mind if I ask how many working hours were logged in and cost to the customer? I'm thinking 14-16hrs and $800+?

Had about 30+ north of $1000
 
Just out of curiosity how long does the car rubber and plastic conditioner seem to last? I have been using 303, which is more of a protectant. i also keep black wow in my arsenal. Great turn around and a grand seems to be right on for the level of work performed.

Thank you! I'm not sure which product you referring to, so I'll talk about both of the ones I used, CAR Bumper Shine restores rubber and plastic trim to like new condition, duration really varies in conditions, 3 months it looks it's best under normal conditions and will still look presentable long afterwards. It has protection built in to beed water and protect against UV. The product I used on the interior is called clean and sheen which cleans like an APC, conditions, and protects leaving behind a factory style matte sheen and is for interior use only
 
I want to buy that bumper shine but can't find a distributor. Their site won't give me an option for Canada shipping.
 
Great work! That truck was in serious need of some love. Keep up the good work.
 
Huge turn around. Definitely not a garage queen but looks like one after you finished it out. When I saw that clay picture I thought you'd been claying the engine. It definitely needed to be clayed. I would have liked to see a before shot of the interior. Really nice turn around.

LOL, yes the truck was rough, I couldn't believe how much clay I went through on this bad boy! Thank you very much!
