I use to work for an BMW, LandRover auto dealership, so we'd wash sold cars, detail trade ins, wash vehicles that got serviced, and we'd sometimes detail cars that customers paid to get detailed. This was seldom, because most people didn't even know the dealer offered the detailing service. It does cost around like $150. It will be spotless when we're done, but you can get all the supplies yourself and do it all yourself. You just gotta have time if you wanna do a full service detail for your own car.
I start by air blasting the interior (use an air compresser at about 30psi and a gun attachment) this gets all the loose dirt, dust, everything up and ready to be vaccummed.
The vaccum the junk out of it so you're not scrubing dirt into the carpet. Then use some 3m adhesive remover on the carpet to split the junk up, and then spray a cleaning chemical called awesome orange on the carpet and scrub the stains out. Repeat if needed, it works great, just not on all stains right away. Then we hit the door panels with awesome orange, and wipe it with a rag.
Then just go over all the plastic and #### in the interior. And do a final vacuum. Then we use this stuff called proshine, which shines all the plastic on the inside, making it look like day 1. No wiping necessary. And i forgot to mention, but somewhere in between, you clean the seats off. Also, we'll clean the inside windows, I like aerosol cans of glass cleaner.
We'll do the engine compartment if they wanted it. Basically, you use awesome orange, spray a can all inside the engine compartment, and then use a pressure washer to spray it off, then use the air gun to dry it.
After the inside is done (including the floor mats), we wash it. You spray the wheels off, rinse the car, soap it and scrub #### out, spray it off, shami it, if the customer wants it, wax the car. They have some spray on waxes that work well and quickly.
Also, you can glass clean the outside windows.
If you want some product names, check out Awesome Orange, 3M adhesive remover, Glass Clean.
Both glass clean and awesome orange are made by i think car pro. I don't think you'll find it in stores, but it is sold online, you'll have to look hard, search on yahoo. The glass clean, you can buy 10 cans for $10 right now at advance auto parts.
I'm happy to have the cleaning skills i have now. My car looks like day 1, and it's an 89 ford probe. Send me a message if you have any questions.
P.S. women will pay lots of money to have their cars detailed. Most are too stupid to do it on their own, and would love to show off their clean cars. And then some women just don't give a #### how their cars looks.
