BMW 530i Interior Detail

jonjay · Jan 3, 2010

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.

Here are the before pictures.

CLEANING PROCESS

Worked Megs APC into the leather, agitated with brush and leather cleaning brush.

Treated section on the right and untreated on left.

Both sections now cleaned.

Pet penguin joined me.

Before - Drivers Seat

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 · Feb 4, 2010

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.
