2014 BMW M5 Interior

It's always unfortunate to find poor quality detailers that give the profession a bad name.  Going to a job to clean up after someone else's mess is not an easy task.  I've had plenty of previous posts showing polish residue left by that last guy to work on a car.  In this case, it was the interior that was left in less than satisfactory condition.  The biggest foul being incomplete application of the interior dressing.  This particular dressing was also solvent based.  This left a very shine finish and due to the incompleteness of the work, there was a sharp contrast in araes that were not covered.  The solvent dressing are also very difficult to remove with gentle cleaners and using strong solvents on a interior is our of the question. I personally choose to use a water based protectants that can be removed with relatively mild cleaners, but are durable enough to stand up to daily use.  The trick in this case was to remove as much of the solvent dressing as possible using steam and then use a protectant that matched the remaining gloss of the solvent dressing already applied.
