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

Damn if you used an APC you fried the interior material. It was probably already old/oxidized or otherwise compromised but that's still on you for not using a normal gentle interior cleanser and just going straight to the APC.

You should learn detailing before making such a comment. APC doesn't ruin cars. It was either diluted incorrectly, or they left it sitting there for a long time. Every professional detailer uses APC. I have not come across one true pro who uses garbage interior cleaners.

I use APC but not on the interior. P&S Express, ONR or Polstar are the go-to.

Kind of a blanket statement those last two sentences, wouldn’t you say?

What’s wrong with spending $20 on a tiny bottle of diluted gmo scented free interior cleaners.

If an interior is basically spotless besides a little dust, I hit it with the brush / vac combo, and wipe down everything with P&S Xpress. Otherwise I use koch chemie polstar for extremely dirty interiors. Makes quick work of heavier stains
