Here is a detailed write up for a interior and exterior valet done on a BMW (E36) M3 Convertable.

Interior

First off a few before pictures.

First job was to give the interior and boot area a good vacuum out, using a soft detailing brush to help remove dust and dirt from between the leather seats, seat runners, air vents and around the switch gear.

Once fully vacuumed out, it was time to shampoo the carpets and mats, these were sprayed with an fabric cleaner then the dirt extracted using a wet and dry vac.

As you can see there was a rather bright red stain on the boot carpet, I'm still not sure what it was but I can assure you it wasn't from anything living. Having gone over the area 3 times the mark wasn't coming out as easy as I'd have liked, so giving it a few more passes with the shampoo extraction machine the mark was fully removed.

  Before & after 

The interior plastics were next to recieve a good cleaning, over the years the  plastics and light colored leather had picked up a fair amount of grime and marks, so using a all purpose cleaner the dashboard, door panels and centre console were sprayed and gently scrubbed using a small interior brush. Once clean they were allowed to fully dry before being dressed.

The last job for the interior was to clean the leather using Swissvax leather cleaner, this was sprayed onto the leather and gently rubbed using a leather cleaning brush before being wiped off. Once all cleaned the leather was treated with Swissvax leather milk, containing vitamin E this helps to condition and preserve the moisture in the leather.

Exterior

The car was then taken outside to be washed, here are a few before shots.

First job was to clean the wheels, the wheel face and inner rim were sprayed with a acid free wheel cleaner and left to dwell for a few moments. After using a few wheel detailing brushes to reach the dirt inside the wheels and between the bolts the tyres were sprayed with a degreaser and gently scrubbed prior to being rinsed off with clean water.

Once all the wheels were cleaned it was time to pre wash the rest of the car using a PH neutral snow foam to help remove any dirt that may otherwise damage the paintwork during the wash stage. The snowfoam was left to dwell on the car for a few minutes before being rinsed off with clean water.

Next task was to hand wash the car using multiple wash mitts (for different areas)  and the two bucket meathod (wash & rinse) which again helps to keep any solid dirt particles away from the wash solution.

Most of the lower panels had some specs of tar on them.

These were removed using a citrus tar remover, once done the whole car was fully rinsed to remove any wash solution and tar remover.

Now onto the drying stage, using a high tech drying towel.

The car doesn't look that bad after a good wash, but it's far from finished.

Having just come from a bodyshop the exterior was in need of a good wax, the wax chosen for this car was Swissvax: Best of Show, this was applied to all exterior paintwork and left for 1 hour to give it time to bond to the paintwork.

Whilst waiting, the exterior plastics were dressed with a sillicone free dressing, the wheels treated  with Meguiars NXT metal polish, tyres dressed with Swissvax Pneu, door and boot shuts dressed with Meguiars Last touch and to finish off the rubber seals around the doors and boot lid were treated with Swissvax Seal feed.

Once done the wax was buffed off using a plush microfibre buffing towel.

Here are a few pictures of the car once finished.
