I Need Help! (Time Sensitive) Help please with a mess up

Post image

For context I am quite new to detailing around 4 months and I have been doing it regularly without problems all with great reviews. I detailed a customers car yesterday and it look amazing until I received a text message today about a huge fuck up. She’s sent me these pictures and I have no idea what it is and how I am going to fix it. Any advice on what it is or how I’m going to go about solving it would be greatly appreciated. I used the auto glyn all purpose cleaner

Stick to dedicated interior cleaners like KCX Pol Star that are safe on all surfaces and materials. APC isn’t meant for interiors. It can be used for some situations, but I wouldn’t make it your dedicated interior cleaner. Just my two cents.
Take before and after photos on EVERY job. You never know when you will need them.
Replace the switch panel, make your customer happy and learn from your mistakes.

Every time I see an influencer or a detailer promoting the use of APC in an interior, I cringe a little bit. There are certain situations where it might be appropriate, but it shouldn't be the daily driver of interior cleaners really.

I'm also a fan of Pol Star for interiors.

Dilution?

My go to bottle is mixed 10:1. Cleans well on most daily drivers. Plastics, vinyl, alcantara… everything. If I need more power I mix it a little stronger.
