BMW 530i Interior Detail

[jonjay]

There is a first time for everything and 2010 brought back the BMW 530i I did few weeks back, thread found here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247717. This is first time I have done an interior detail for a customer so the pictures are not the best before and after I ever taken.

Before - Rear footwell

After – Rear footwell.

Here are the results after 4 hours. Pretty please it turned out this week without a Wet n Dry vacuum cleaner.
Please note I treated the leather with Autoglym leather cleaner and cream but didn’t take any pictures of this as light was near but gone so pictures didn’t turn out well.

I gave the car a quick clean after and applied some red mist all over. Really pleased that the car looked fantastic as its first time I saw it detailed in daylight.

Detailers Notes
- Meguairs APC is brilliant!
- Autoglym Leather Cream really does work if worked in well. Surprising when buffing off, it gave a nice matt finish.

Big thank you to Rams for coming back to me for more work on the BMW!

looks awesome maz, cleaning beige or grey has to be 2 of the hardest interior colours to clean but this looks awesome, you always seem to get fantastic results...good work buddy...

Bit late but cheers guys!

^^ Is this a full time job for you now!!

Worked out great. Is the "penguin" a steam cleaner or vacuum?

 

[jonjay]

No definately not a full time job just a hobby that I have a lot of passion for. I am an IT Support/Project manager which takes up the rest of my time.

Thanks for the kind words. The pingu is a steam cleaner great for nearly everything I tried so far.
