Haha. There was so much junk inside that car. What I always do is take all the junk and neatly place them in ziploc bags and put them in the trunk so it looks nice in the cabin area

great clean up. what's your secret to the interior carpets? i find that no matter what i use, i can't get out a lot of the stains that i want. i'd like to get out much more of the stain especially because i have some CG fabric guard (http://www.chemicalguys.com/Fabric_G..._p/spi_210.htm) coming in soon and i'd like to make it an additional service offered to folks.
thanx for any carpet/upholstery tips!
btw: car looks great and +1 to the ziplock bag idea. customers always are please with little things like that which show you going the extra mile and taking better care of their stuff than they do! (last customer couldn't believe how clean i got inside her gas cap area and how all the seals/weather stripping was treated in her 03 lexus LS430)

For the carpets, the best thing to have is a hot water extractor. Which I don't . I use Megs APC cut medium-high strength (around 7:1).
Actually, I'll spell out my process:
Vacuum with wet/dry shop vac
Spray the APC liberally and let soak in the carpets for a minute or two
Scrub it real good
Pressure wash the mats
Vacuum again with the wet/dry vac and then hang dry.
Hope this helps!
