Dodge Ram 1500 in Black - RESSURECTED From the depths of hell
This was the dirties vehicle I have yet to come across. The interior was one step away from needing a Haz-Mat team. To give you an idea of how soiled it was, I diluted APC in a 5 gal bucket and used that to scrub down the interior plastic trim. I went through 20 gal of water ( 4 buckets full) and it turned each and every bucket load to murky swamp water. The filthy interior was mainly due to YEARS of smoking, there was even a thick film on all interior surfaces that was sticky from all the smoke.
This vehicle is seriously neglected and even has some rust spots on the running boards. To be honest the only reason I accepted this job is because of the challenge it presented as I really needed one. I have taken the liberty to crop out all areas with rust for the sake of capturing decent pictures.
When the owner picked up the vehicle she actually cried, part of that may have been from the bill :o

To me this is still the most amazing transformation I've seen. I've tried to clean the interior of a few trucks that looked like that and never got them looking anywhere near as good as your looked.

Thanks Man... To be honest, this interior was so bad a wad full of Wet Naps would have made it better!

Each ride has it's own issues which results in different work times... Although it would be much easier, I don't do cookie cutter work as it would not yield the results I need to achieve.
This one was right at 23 hours

What does the typical outside take? I am curious as it would be great to find someone near me to do this to the new Porsche. It looks okay now, but I am sure it would look great afterwards.
What do you recommend as the right type of towels and liquids to use, to avoid swirl marks after you do this to a car?

P-car paint I have done is soft.. so that means it would correct easier than say a newer bimmer or Corvette... It's really hard to say without seeing it.. Can you provide a full sun shot so I can see the swirls.
What kind of liquids are you looking for?
There are many quality towels out there... Lets start with pics first of full sun shots and go from there. I didn't look at your profile, where are you located?

I bet you could do the "walk on water" thing though, lol.
The 'beauty shots' are amazing. How can you work on the same car for 23 hours and not go insane? I think that's also an achievement right there.

Thanks man... I like working on a car for that amount of time... I have a hard time not working on a car for that long just because I am OCD... Hell I spent one hour on each of my rims for my ride when I did them this weekend....lol

I will say those are 2 different vehicles. Did a VIN swap and trash the original one... :)
Just kidding. That is why I keep my rides in top shape. Haven't done it in a month due to the rain here in FL. Tomorrow the Accord will have the love he needs...
