Brilliant video Britt!! Really enjoyed everything about it :) If possible in the future, could you do a video revving up your car? So we can hear how it sounds! 😁
I commend you for getting out and cleaning it. I've been a pro detailer for over 10 years and so many people just let it all go until it gets so bad that they have to bring it to someone like me and it ends up costing hundreds of dollars. An hour or so every couple weeks can make it so much easier to keep up with. If I can, I'd like to offer a couple tips based on the video. Firstly, I would recommend doing your seats last. In the video, you cleaned using your wipes then you ended up sitting on the seats to clean your dash, console and hard surfaces. You just reintroduced more body sweat, oils and contaminants to the seats you just cleaned. That leads to the break down of that leather material. I didn't see in the video but did you recondition the seats and hard surfaces ( doors, dash, console, etc)? I always advise to stay away from wipes and all in one cleaners or the cleans and conditions products. That's just me, and after over 10 years of detailing, I found it just doesn't clean as well as specific interior cleaners. There are times you'll have to hit highly contaminated areas 2-4 times and you want to make sure it's as clean as possible then condition afterwards. I use and recommend Aerospace 303, one of the absolute best UV protectants on the market. Reason against the wipes, there's no pile or protection. You clean an area, even if it's just fine dust, that could still lead to scratching on the hard plastics and panel areas like on doors and center console. Second thing I noticed, and I'm sure you'll hear this from others and you can chose to believe it or not, but stay away from those contact car washes.. they will absolutely destroy your paint. I've had to do many paint corrections on paint surfaces that looked like a used skating rink. Instead, use a wash bay ( just stay away from the wand brush that will do the same damage). Or, go to a contactless wash. That's what I use and although it doesn't get the vehicle 100%, it at least won't scratch the living heck out of the paint. Just a couple things I noticed that could save you some time and $ down the road.d
