...Thanx man...

The interior was cleaned using apc diluted 1:20. Worked it in lightly with a soft bristle brush to help remove any dressings and wiped with a damp mf cloth and warm water till all residue was removed. This was for the dash, interior plastics and door cards. Which was then left to dry and finally dressed with meguirs natural shine protectant.

The fabric seats were worked gently using an mf cloth with some apc on it and then wiped off with the a damp cloth.

By far the best part of this interior to clean was that steering wheel. Again i used the apc and on the first pass i worked it on the wheel with the soft bristle brush and letting it work in for a period 1-2mins followed by removing with the damp mf cloth. On the next few passes I used the apc direct on the cloth to help work the dirt out a bit more. I did this twice it obviously depend on how dirty the leather is, this leather was filthy :puke: i had to change the rinse bucket out after just the steering wheel. :fear:

The gear knob, gaiter and handbrake leather were done in the same method.
The leather was left to dry properly and then dressed with meguirs leather care.

All in all we were happy with the outcome but more importantly so was the customer....
