materials tide with bleach alternitave, cleaning bucket, costal power clean or equivalent,scrub brush, wet dry shop vac, lots of clean rags, and a spray bottle


step1 vacume

step 2 use bottle to spray power clean on floors this will remove grease and oil build ups

step 3 mix tide with water while powerclean is soaking

step 4 use one of the rags to dip in soap water and scrub floors and seats use enough water to clean but dont go over board

step 5 scrub, scrub, scrub, etc... untill you cant scrub any more because the bristles on your brush are falling off

step 6 as you finish each section use wet dry vac to suck up extra water

step 7 use dry rags after vac'ing to try to get up any left over water and surface dirt

step 8 after you are finished crack your windows park in the sun and turn on the heat this will alow the car to dry without becomeing musty

step 9 pm me if you have questions and enjoy your clean car

detailed or what.....thanks.

the carpet i bought is really sun faded bad. but not stained. so im trying to decide whether to clean it and put it in or clean the carpet thats in it now...the carpet in it now is reeeeally dirty.

the people who had it before me obviously did not care of it at all, cos whe we took the seats out after i bought it we found 5 bucks in change, kids meal toys from fast food joints, pens, sucker wrappers, oh yah and the best, a non-opened tampon in my map pocket! Mmmmm Yummy!
