4years never opened Jimmy Hatch

[kimandbrad21]

As the title says.... This jimmy is a DD, the hatch area hasnt been opened sense he has owned it. His friends ended up fixing it this week, and he called and asked me if I could just clean it up a little. Most of the fibers are dyed with unknown liquids, and I stated to him that once that happens I cannot do anything to get it to turn around hince saying that they are dyed.

This was a 20 buck detail with ......
Megs APC
Megs APC+
Oxiclean spray
Little green Machine
Shopvac
1 hour in trunk area
About 5 brushs
APC+ and APC were at a 50/50 mix for 15min soak

as you can see not everything came out, alot had dyed into the carpet fibers. he was still very pleased that the carpet was "clean" and that he could now use it for whatever he wanted to.

this is my first post in the show.n.shine, if i get the hang of downloading all my pictures more to come with other cars.

Looks great.
I'm still new at this stuff and I would like to know why you used APC and APC+. Was the APC+ used in your Little Green Machine and that was the reason for using both. I'm thinking about getting a little APC but I'm not exactly sure which is better for cleaning interior carpets and floor mats. I'm a hobbiest so I don't want to buy both cleaners.
Thanks,
Ed

I find APC+ to be barly any foam so its a great thing to have if your using a OTC steam cleaner. APC can cause problems if not mixed right with OTC cleaning machines. APC was sprayed via bottle from wally world on touch spots and worked with harder brushes.

but all in all both are very nice to clean out of whole inside of a vehicle, ive never heard of it being used on glass so i wouldnt go there, but from carpet to seats, to leather etc. its nice stuff. the APC+ smells like an orange citrus scent, while APC is more of a cleaner scent that isnt too over powerful.

Since the hatch has never been opened by the owner, yet there were stains and dirt all over the place, I'm going to assume he purchased it used. Does he have no need for a SUV? Not sure how you could own one for 4 years and never want to put anything in the back.
