A standard wash & vac
Quick, cheap, and undone within a week.
Outside
- One bucket and one sponge, taking grit straight back across the paint
- Bonded tar and iron fallout left in place, because soap will not shift it
- Air-dried or wiped over with whatever cloth is nearest
- Nothing left on the paint, so dirt sticks again within days
Inside
- A quick hoover over the middle of the carpets, mats left where they sit
- Seats and fabrics wiped over, so staining and smells stay put
- One all-purpose cleaner over every surface, then a shiny dressing to cover the rest
- Sand, crumbs and pet hair pushed further into the seams and seat rails
- An air freshener hung over whatever was causing the smell
Finished when the slot runs out, not when the vehicle is right.
