    Amazing car transformation. The combination of the Mint shine and that Mytee is really impressive. I'm so impressed how much faster and more efficient your details are with that Mytee hot water extractor, pulls out the dirt and grime much easier and faster than using a Bissell spot clean pro, that's for sure. I didn't think to use a red drill brush on the leather seats but damn it cleaned it up well instead of using a steamer. Very very impressed overall. So satisfying to watch how clean the interior beige carpets came out.

    Finally.... a detailer who goes the extra mile to tuch up worn leather, good man.
    It does not take long to add a little leather dye to worn areas and makes a lot of differance.
    In the UK I can get a 125cl bottle for about £15 ($17) and applied correctly I could do a whole interier with this.
    Top Tip.
    Stipple/dab, do not wipe, as this will keep the contour/grain of the leather.
    And apply in several thin coats if possible,(time permitting) drying in between coats with heat gun or hair drier.( do not over heat)

    • @StaufferGarage
      @StaufferGarage  2 роки тому +4

      Appreciate that tip! The product I used recommended the sponge and circular motions and I had more control with gloves fingers and some dabbing as well. I should have busted out the heat gun and will next time like you said. Appreciate the tips!

    Much nicer! Do you have a steamer? That is an invaluable tool. It’ll really open the pores of the leather to get every speck of dirt out and accept conditioner. It’ll also pull out or mostly fade those carpet stains as well. It works wonders on super dirty trim pieces too!

      Well, they use their eyes to look for their car, find the door handle and pull on it to open the door. They then move their legs and their hips to sit down in the seat below them, reach for the door with their hand and pull it shut, then put the key in the ignition, where they then turn the key which starts the car's engine. They then simultaneously press the brake pedal down with their foot and move the shifter, resulting in the gear change to drive, and then press the gas pedal with their foot and the car moves.
