Hello geeks,
This lady called me and said she had purchased this vehicle and wanted the smoke smell out and the stains gone. Previous owner was a heavy smoker and rolled his own smokes in the vehicle all the time, Ashes and rolling tobacco were everywhere. The pictures don't do it justice but the previous owner lived on a dirt road and there were little rock pebbles everywhere.
didn't a ton of photos as she needed this done in 2 hours so I had to work my tail off to meet that. Anyone knows with a decent amount of tools/chemicals that setup time can sometimes be 15 mins (not crazy but still on 2 hours every minute counts). I know most of you are going to ask why I didn't do the jambs,I explained that interiors normally take me 3 or more hours so I would not be able to get them with the time frame she gave me, She didn't mind.
Tools used:
Multiple brushes
Different MF towels
Shop Vac
Mytee steamer
Glass cleaning tool
Compressed Air
Products:
Megs D103 @ 1:4 and 1:10
Megs tire and trim gel
Auto Magic new car scent (this was the scent she liked the most of what I had)
Sonus cockpit detailer spray
Perl
here are the pics
Some of what I was dealing with
Close up of tobacco everywhere around dash and what not
Ashes everywhere
Driver side, stains and little rocks/ashes/tobacco/trash/dirt
Passenger side
Rears
Rear hatch
Cupholders
Trunk area
Finished floormats
Finished dash with some business cards
Thanks for taking the time and checking out my work. Not my best work but for about 1 1/2 hours I think it was a good haul IMO because of setup and the few pics I could squeeze in. Although for some odd reason her cupholders didn't turn out the way I wanted there was a strange white film over it but I ran out of time.
She didn't even look at that and praised me for how much of a turn around their was in such short time and that the smell was pretty much gone. I didn't get to post pics of the headliner but I did take all the yellowish out of that aswell and sent her home with a 4oz bottle of new car scent.
