full detail on a Dodge Dakota

The Quadcab arrived at the shop bright and early. Got a long day ahead...



While the outside got the basics, I focused my attention first to the interior. The driver's side was the worst of it.



Drink stains are so ugly! Notice the salt stains below. I'll get back to them later.



Middle console looking for a cleaning.



I spotted these stains on the leather seats in the back.



Even though the owner didn't ask for an engine bay detail, I thought I would pop the hood anyway and help out with a little "spring cleaning." Good thing I checked under here!



The backseat was pretty typical, not including a melted piece of chocolate behind the driver's seat.



The shop's lights can only show so much and a black car can be deceiving. Sometimes I bring out some extra light. You wouldn't want me to miss a spot would you?



Here, I have the leather being conditioned. All the leather seats received the same treatment.



~AFTER SHOTS~

The exterior received a wash, sealant, and two layers of wax. You will now be able to find me via the reflection, haha.



Like I said before, the driver's side was the worst, and while some stains were just to tough to get out, it is still a major improvement.



Drink stains all gone. Remember those salt stains? Still there! I found out from an associate, salt stains can only be removed if a little bit of carpet goes with it. Talk about stubborn!



Middle console cleaned and dressed.



Stains removed from the leather.



The backseat carpets were all shampooed. Though I didn't take a picture of the melted chocolate, let's just say I would never return the vehicle to the owner unless it was removed.



Woah, what's this?! A Gemstone Detail care package?! I wonder what's inside? Set up an appointment and find out!



Thanks for looking!
