Audi A3 Interior



  Audi A4 AVANT 1.9TDi
Audi A3 – Interior detail

I was asked to take a look at a friend’s sisters’ Audi A3 interior.. It needed ‘cleaning’ pre-sale.

Products / Kit

It’d been a while since I’d done an Interior only job, so, ready to get stuck into this one..

...that is of course until I saw the car in question:

And the best part?

Hmmmm. Lovely! (Gloves ON for this one I think..)


Random! “Fishing, anyone?”

I started with the removal of all the mats and gubbings.. A thorough hoover was given and then I jumped in the back to try fix the dog hair problems..

A very time consuming job! It wasn’t fully removed; tweezers would be the only alternative to get every single last hair out (something I hadn’t got the time for today!)

After this, I started with some of the wet-work. Mats first..

50/50 on passengers’ front:

One or two little spots remained; the drivers mat had seen better days (might be worth replacing this one altogether)

I begun to clean the seats.. Same process used as for the mats. AS Bio-brisk applied, left a little while, agitated slightly and given a few passes with water. Several more extracting water and finally the whole seat was ‘wettened’ with a warm Woolite/water mix. This ensures the seat dries as one; doesn’t leave nasty tied marks on the bolster edges etc.

Mid-way through cleaning the nasty passenger seat:

And some of the water collected throughout:

Seats were done first to give as much time as possible to dry before collection… Floor carpets went through the same procedure.

Plastics were wiped with G101 to remove a fine film of dirt:

Pedals scrubbed. Re-hoovered and mats repositioned. (Drivers mat spoiling the next photo!)

Fini.

  Whichever has fuel
People that put dogs in cars should be burned.

Another good write up Mr Jim! :D

Cheers all.

Car should sell easily enough now (just needs the exterior given a bit of TLC now!) :approve:

Time taken was around five hours if I remember correctly..

Certainly is mate. VAX6131. Cost me around the £100 mark I think..

*edit - its a bit of a pain having to change the filters from wet to dry use etc and setting it up, but, overall, a tidy bit of kit.
