Interior Detailing – deep cleaning without the water

Sunday, May 9th, 2010

This is a quick headlining clean we did for a Detailing World Member – copied below is the post he put up and we thought it would be interesting to put on here.

Using the Tornador means you don’t have to worry about getting everywhere soaking wet and you don’t have to compromise on the cleaning power.

If you would like any more information on these services please get in touch through our contact page.

Today i got the minging headlining cleaned by Paul @ Midlands Detailing.

I didn’t want to soak the headlining, as it could easily come away from the backing, sag and look water stained if not dried properly. I put a post up on here to see if someone could help me out. Paul @ Midlands Detailing (http://www.midlandsdetailing.co.uk) replied saying that he had a tornador. This is an awesome bit of kit, it varpourises a solution (in this case Meguairs All Purpose Cleaner + water) via compressed air on to the surface. You then agitate it with a microfibre, wipe off with a different microfibre, switch the tornador to an air setting and it dries the surface. Simples! So no need to leave it soaking wet, it just blasts the dirt out of the material.

I think i’ve got that right?

As for the car, it had obviously been smoked in at some point, quite heavily too, the headlining was grey in places where it should be champagne! The champagne headlining was an option, so i wanted it looking as good as possible. Not look ‘new’ just fresh and loved.

To give you all an idea of the condition before, look at these pics:

So, where do I start with this write up…

Midlands Detailing have been contacted about working on a rather unique display piece. The piece is currently part of a developing Aerospace and Technology centre that benefits Air Cadets in the Staffordshire Wing area.

The centre has just had a major refurb and the Phantom was suffering from some serious dust coverage but also some more permanent staining on the nose cone from its previous place of retirement.

Here at Midlands Detailing we don’t like to shy away from a challenge so we turned up on a nice spring day to be greeted with what can only be decribed as a mammoth task.

Here are some befores…
