this bmw came in and was very dirty and caked up with road tar . it hasn't been washed in a long time, waxed? forget about it, interior looked like a bush was growing in there from all the leaves let alone it had a sand bar in it lol. the leather had never been treated. the wheels where in horrible condition as well.
Process: wash, tar softener/remover, degrease wheels and get inside with daytona brush.

Clay the entire car there was tree sap stuck to it that wouldnt come of any other way, black little spots basically embedded into the clear. the entire car was very rough to the touch.

D151 with white pad "i wasn't getting paid much for this and i went out of my way to do this for him"

vacuum interior/clean rugs. clean and treat leather "my rag(s) came out black!" clean dash and center console which was in horrible condition.

applied tire dressing

final wipe with ID.

Wow. Great results. That Red BMW was more tarred than the Marlboro Mans lungs!

Haha! That's funny!

Cars look great man, I love that marketing strategy as well!

That BMW was ridiculous, was the tar from roasting the tires or from road work?

And about the before shots- I forget all of the time too and don't remember until half way through. Kinda sucks...
 
idk he just never washed his car i guess lol. im going to do his hood for free with a 3 step polish to show him what kind of difference it really makes :)
 
i was using a boars hair brush but i also used a nail block brush thing.
 
Very nice work!:dblthumb2:

What year was that Mazda? It looks like a newer model. I can't believe people can let their cars get like that, the interior was disgusting. It looked like someone threw up on the head liner. LOL

The customer must have thought you were a miracle worker when they picked up the car and seen the results. I bet you get referrals from that job!

Once again, really nice work.
 
That is some great work! I think the owner of the red car lucked out... How did you get the wheels looking so much better?

i used megs apc 4:1 let it sit then hosed it down then sprayed it again agitated it with daytona brush rinsed it down and finished it by hand with some ONR.

Thanks guys for the feedback its what really makes someone want to keep going at it. the red car took me 8 hrs to do lol but i was hanging out with some friends talking crap while working.

and yes the mazda was fairly new he just has a alcoholic girlfriend :)
