The detail on this Crys 300 Hemi took 14 hours. Learning how to get these pictures on a thread took me 2 months. If these take Thank You's go to Gary, Lauren, Sparkie, Scott, Justin, Jenn, Meghan for teaching me.
Any input is appreciated (Too big, Too small, etc.).

This is getting frustrating. Got the above pic in the thread but all after this one show up as little white boxes with a red X in it. Will keep trying.
 
Did somebody take a dump on the floorboard. That is dirty
 
According to the owner that stuff got on their shoes when the local cowboy bar flooded. Man, it was a bear to get off. Don't know what it was. It was tougher than regular mud. The carpet came out pretty good. Wish that I could show you pics. Still trying.
 
The inside looks really good...minus all the mud. Who lets people get in there car with mud on there feet? Well I guess some times it can't be helped. Really looking forward to the final pictures.

Thanks to Sparkie, I figured out how to post pictures. I too use the Photobucket site. A reason why you’re probably getting the box with a red X on it is that you may be copying the wrong image...I always do that, you have to pick the right link.

Not much on the paint since it was overcast and the swirls didn't show. LSP was Souveran Paste. The customer said "Finnally, back to the dark color it was when it was new" (It's midnight blue). He was extremely happy. I do his wifes Crys 300 next week (gray).
 
OMG, you done extraordinary job. Made that dirty thing look better then new!
I want a 300!

Very nice, you did a great job cleaning all that mud.

Good to see you finally got the pictures in.
 
Thank You all for the support. I really appreciate it.
 
What is that on the tires, I like it... Not super glossy, just what I want.

It's a three step process. Learned the last two steps from Justin on one of his reviews.1. Cleaned wheels and TIRES with DP Wheel Gel. Rinse.2. While still wet spray with AA tire Foam. Wipe off. (Cleaner and good base for your dressing). Spray wells at same time.3. DP Gloss Tire Gel. Applied with foam applicator.
 
Wow im surprised I like them that much for a tire gel that advertises gloss. Not too glossy though, which is what I want. I might have to try that sometime, but right now actually what I like a lot is plain original white armorall on the tires.

Not the one made for tires, the regular white one. Why? I have tried so many and they ALL SLING up onto the side of my car EXCEPT this. Also its not greasy, doesnt attract dust and dirt like the gels and other sprays I have tried do, and its not super glossy (I want my paint and wheels glossy not my tires, I just want them to look really super black with a hint of shine).

If you have any just take some original armor all for interior and spritz it on a dirty micro (no need to waste a good one on the tires, and I have found the microfiber disperses the product better on the tire than other methods) and wipe around.
 
Jimmie, did you extract the carpets or what did you do on those floor mats. NICE WORK! Im the MAN

Here's what I did, and I know that an extractor is a great tool but this isn't a bad alternative.
Folex on the heavy stained areas (Full strengh)
Woolite 6:1 on the rest.
Scrub with AG Carpet Brush. (If real bad got the PC Carpet Brush).
Hose off matts. Yep, high pressure nozzle.
Wipe off inside car. Spray H2O. Wipe off. etc.
Suck up water with "Little Green Machine"
Finish lines with Wet/Dry vac. Don't see why you couldn't suck up water with wet/dry vac. Just trying to get more life out of vac filter.
Let dry in open air.

When this process will not remove a stain I'll hit it with DP Interior Cleaner. It's usually a goner. In the past I've used Degreasers, Dp Interior, Folex, Woolite. I plan to order DP Carpet and Upholstery (heard great stuff about that product).
