DIY interior detail...

[scharnhorst]

Did a DIY interior detail of our innova a couple of weeks ago... here are the results

Repost from PD:

before...


-most of the plastics looked like this

after...

-the seat "stains" is fresh upholstery cleaner. hehe.


took me 6 bloody hours. ceiling then plastics then carpet and seats.

I used AL's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner and Meg's APC 1:4 dilution, a couple of sacrificial MF's, a soft toothbrush, and a shoebrush with soft bristles.



post notes:
1) megs APC was not able to remove all the plastic stains, might need hot water or a degreaser for those areas...
2) the carpet cleaner dried quickly and made short work of the ceiling and carpet stains. cheap too (219 pesos for 500 mL), but I could feel that it was caustic.
3) used up around 800 mL of the APC solution, and around 400 mL of the carpet cleaner
4) need to bring more MFs, damp microfiber cloths tend to smear the dirt across plastics than picking them up.
5) the downside to the shoebrush was the fibers were black - made it hard to see if they were getting soiled, but it worked well enough. hehe.
6)note to self: never get a car with a beige interior

That is why I'll never buy a car with a beige/light colored interior esp those below the dashboard.

Nice job!

mahusay ang pagkakatira! thanks for sharing! Saan mo nabili yan AL's Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner?

[scharnhorst]

ACE hardware sir!

ayos! sarap ng amoy ng ganyang newly detailed interior! sana may ganyang scent.hehe

sir, magkano ngayon yung APC ng meguiars? saan kayo bumibili? sa simex? thanks

[scharnhorst]

AFAIK, it's 700 for 1 liter sa blade.

1,600 ata regular price nung 1 gallon from meguiars...

I suggest going to the SMX transhow this week, may booth doon ang meguiars. They might give a 10% discount on their items.

Sir ask lang po kung effective ba pang tanggal ng dumi sa daskboard, sidings ng door yang ginamit nyo? or may iba pang brand na mas maganda gamitin? gusto ko po kasi bumalik sa original color yung sidings at dashboard. Pano po ba gamitin yan. Rekta lagay sa dashboard then punas agad? or patagalin ko muna. Salamat po.
