Need some detailing like interoir shampoo and dont want to go to bubbles dont like the work they do


any recommendations?

depending on what kind of car you own/drive any dealership can dealer clean your vehicle but it's not cheap. I know for Toyota's gold package it's $120 for Paint clean/seal, interior Shampoo and Engine Shampoo. Comes out pretty good. Definatly better than bubbles.

Why can't you do that yourself? :dunno:

Buy the K&N filter cleaning kit and go at it. Its not hard. That covers the filter aspect.

As for the piping, a microfiber and some water or quick detailer would do the trick.

I agree with Jason,

This sounds like a good DIY project. You can definitely clean the intake yourself. If you can't see the cone, how do you know it's dirty, and if you can't get to it, then how did they install it? It might take an afternoon if you don;t even know where to start, but I'm sure you can get it done.

As for your detailing, one of the first things I ever did on my car was strip down the whole interior and cleaned it. It's a very satisfying job and it doesn't take much to learn by yourself. Do it once and you can always do it again when it gets dirty again, and you'll also add one more skill set to your repertoire. If you just want to pay and have it done, Bubbles is the standard but there are lots of other shops that do that work too. Check out the yellow pages or the feedback section in this forum to find a good shop.

Cheers,

Tim

Whatever you do.. don't take your car to ziebart.

I agree with the DIY. Even with interior shampoo. Some detailing places just use a strong vacuum, a steam cleaner for the cloth/carpets. For the console/leather use some sort of watered down degreaser and rub the shit out until its clean. Then apply tire dressing/interior dressing and voila. =\ I'm pretty sure you can rent a steam cleaner somewhere for cheapo...

Dude... its time you start to learn something about the car you are driving.

If its a "cold-air" intake you have, then the filter is probably in front of the fender liner, behind your front bumper cover (fascia) on one side. Jack the front end of your car up and remove the wheel on whichever side you think the filter is on. Then take a ratchet or screwdriver (depending on the type of fasteners your car has) and remove the fender liner. There you will find the filter element at the bottom of the pipe. Remove, clean and replace. Reverse the order of the rest.

ps - don't forget to torque your lug nuts of the wheel you had off when the car's back on the ground.
