Valeters/detailers Help. Please!

[Bluebeard]

Guys, I've just taken on a job I wish I never....
Got an Mgf with a tan mohair roof. It's been stood under a tree and is mired in mould and s**t.
I've had interior cleaner, basic TFR and extra heavy duty (neat!) on it, scrubbed it, had my 90c 1600psi steamer on it and nothing is shifting it.

I've promised the bloke I'd get it clean and it's a good earner for me so I need to sort it.

Any ideas???

 

[JD]

Sounds like it's stained, Dan. Might have an issue there tbh as the stuff you've used would be my first ports of call... Presume APCs, carpet cleaner etc have been tried with a wet vac?

Next call would be to Jim@whitedetails tbh.

 

[Gally]

Indeed JD, wet vac with neat g101!

 

[Bluebeard]

G101, is that something I can get from halfords?!

 

[Yellow Dave]

autosmart

 

[Bluebeard]

No good. I need it tomorrow. Got to have the car done by 9am Monday.

Fucksticks.

 

[JD]

Engine and Machine cleaner is a decent APC. Could you look at something like a mould killer from B&Q? Guarantee that's the reason it's not shifting... ingrown 'nd all.

 

[Scrooge]

Phone autosmart, find out who your local area rep is. They be local to you tomorrow!

 

[Bluebeard]

I'm going to spray it with wheel acid in a minute. f**king stupid fat ginger t**t.

Why do I do it to myself???

 

[Bluebeard]

The xhd TFR I use literally dissolves oil on contact. Even brake dust sometimes. I can't believe it's not shifting it!!

What about thinners?? Or will I f**k the hood good?

 

[Scrooge]

You will Knacker it.

 

[Bluebeard]

Excuse the dark patch. That was thinners.....

 

[Bluebeard]

You will Knacker it.

Oops.

 

[Gally]

f**k me! That is quite far gone!!!!!!!!

A wet vac would at least extract from the pores!

 

[JD]

That's mould. Thus, mould killer followed up by APC scrub with a brush.

 

[The Russian.]

Flol!!!

Surely someone close to you should have g101 dan?? Worth a post up to find out

 

[Adamm.]

Yeah as gally says looks like a wet vac is needed to get it out from deep in the fabric.

 

[Chapppers11]

Where are you Dan?

I'll run some bits over that I've got that may be of use, no promises though as I don't deep clean my tan mohair roof that often!

 

[Bluebeard]

Wet vac hasn't touched it. Just tried it.

I've just soaked all again with neat anti bacterial stuff from the snap on man who was in next door.

Stay tuned...

 

[Bluebeard]

Andy I'm in soundwell. Aka the bronks. I'm going at 5 though I've got a headache, this has stressed me out.

You about tomorrow?

 

[scott.p]

Don't know if anti bacterial will do anything. Get yourself some anti mould spray first I'd say

 

[JD]

FU.

 

[Scrooge]

Are you scrubbing to lift the pores?

 

[Adamm.]

FU.

Oh hai .

 

[Bluebeard]

Are you scrubbing to lift the pores?

Yep.

Chappers will be here in 5 minutes. Lets see what he's got to say about the situation!

 

[Bluebeard]

Boom!! Chappers to the rescue.

Chemical guys stuff.

During scrub;

And after a session with the steamer set to 100 degrees...

 

[Bluebeard]

It's by no means perfect, but it's loads better.

Cs rules ok.

 

[Adamm.]

Very good, looks much better than the pics on the previous page mate.

​Good on chappers to come and help you out too.

 

[Mr R.]

Great work, this is why I <3 CS always someone on hand to help out.

 

[Coby.]

CS to the rescue!!

Good on you Chappers.

 

[JackJack]

CS is great.

 

[Chapppers11]

Glad I could help mate, it was in a funny state!

Definitely needs a new roof!

 

[Gally]

Awesome mate! Glad you got it sorted!

 

[Yellow Dave]

What did it in the end?

 

[Bluebeard]

Chemical guys stuff. I tried it neat, but it made no difference diluted, it still worked the same.

I've left it in work with the heater on low so it should be bone dry in the morning. See what it's turned out like.

I've left it in work with the heater on low so it should be on fire in the morning. See what it's turned out like.
