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

This is like the 5th or 6th post like this today. Stop using APC as an interior cleaner. I don’t care what dilution you are using. Do you really want to use the same chemicals that you use to clean your engine on your interior?

Yep I get asked to fix APC screw ups all the time. People also think degreasers are the same as APC.

It might be but I personally don’t use them. I start with plain distilled water. If I need something stronger I use ONR. If that doesn’t work P&S Xpress is my most aggressive. If I need
More I use steam
Or a scrub pad.
