You're doing God's work. I'm also making an assumption that God is a car guy.

Lol. I’ve now got a Vauxhall Mokka for next Thursday and a Ford Kuga for next Friday to clean.
I’m a happy bunny indeed.

Are those fabric seats? I can’t tell on my phone and I’m trying to find the right cleaning/drying combo for my FoST seats that can clean and dry without staining. They stain super easy, like if I use an apc and agitate with a brush and vacuum, there will be a permanent stain even if I wipe as dry as I can. The only way it goes away is with a hair dryer.

Ye’, they are fabric seats with cream leather tops.
The trick if you don’t have a good cleaner or extraction attachment for the vacuum is to do it in sections.
By tackling it in sections you avoid the spot cleaned ring.
You can buy an extraction nozzle from eBay for a few dollars which you can attach to any wet’dry vacuum which gets out a lot more fluid than a regular vacuum nozzle.

Wow, you’re a lifesaver, didn’t think that was a thing. I’ve gotten pretty darn good at detailing over the last two years I’d say, but fabric seats are still something I struggle with.

Start gentle. Wipe over with a lightly damp cloth. No joy? Spray directly onto fabric and rub a lightly more vigorously. No joy? Spray more cleaner on and agitate with a brush, starting light, then getting more vigorous as needed then either blot as much fluid out with clean cloths or wet’dry vacuum off.
Try to use a fabric cleaner if you can as an all purpose cleaner may bleach the colour slightly.

Ye’, they were just wheel trims. T he original wheel trims for the car are the second lot. Her mother bought her the others in pic five after she lost one of the original ones, but then promptly lost one of them.

Seriously be thankful you can’t see the whole trim.
When she pulled up outside my house I said, ‘I can’t stop looking at them. It’s like looking at a train wreck, you know you shouldn’t but you can’t help looking at the hideous nature of them’. Then I messaged her later after doing the interior and asked if she wanted me to swap them over.
I’ve just ordered a replacement for the missing trim.
