Soda Explodes Leaving Roof Stains

As a mobile detailer with over 20 years of experience and a reputation for excellence, I’ve seen just about every kind of mess inside a car. But nothing quite compares to the disaster caused by a soda explosion. Recently, I had the pleasure of working on a car that had been hit by just such an incident, leaving sticky soda splatters all over the interior roof. Thankfully, with the right tools, techniques, and a little elbow grease, I was able to bring the vehicle back to life, and I’m excited to share the process with you.

Soda is one of the messiest substances that can get into your car. Not only does it create a sticky, sugary residue, but it also leaves behind an unpleasant odor and is tough to clean, especially when it ends up on the fabric of your car’s interior roof. In this case, the client’s vehicle had suffered an unfortunate soda explosion that left the ceiling looking as if it had been painted with cola!

The trick with roof shampooing is not just removing the stains, but also ensuring the material underneath isn’t damaged or saturated too much with moisture. The challenge is real, but it’s one I love tackling.

I used a specialized fabric shampoo designed for automotive interiors, ensuring that it was gentle enough to protect the car’s ceiling material while still being powerful enough to lift out the soda residue. After thoroughly vacuuming the area to remove any loose dirt or particles, I carefully applied the shampoo with a soft brush, gently agitating the fabric to lift the stains. This method prevents damage to the delicate headliner and avoids excessive moisture that could lead to sagging or other issues.

Once the shampoo worked its magic, I followed up with a careful drying process to make sure the fabric was perfectly clean and dry. This is an essential step to ensure the roof doesn’t retain any unwanted dampness or odors.

The before-and-after photos of this job speak for themselves. The transformation is nothing short of amazing—what was once a sticky, stained ceiling is now spotless, fresh, and like new. The interior now looks and smells inviting again, free of any remnants of the soda explosion.

If your car has suffered a similar fate or needs a deep clean, don't wait for the stains to set in. A professional detailer can help restore your car’s interior to its original beauty. Check out the before-and-after images below to see the dramatic difference that a quality roof shampoo can make!

When it comes to mobile detailing, no job is too messy for me. Whether it's soda, coffee, or any other tough stain, I'm always up for the challenge of restoring your vehicle to its pristine condition. If you want your car to look and feel like new again, consider scheduling a professional interior detailing service. Trust me, the results will speak for themselves!

Still Using Meguiar's

As a detailer, I've had an incredibly positive experience using Meguiar's Ultimate Compound. Before using it, I was dealing with vehicles that had varying degrees of oxidation, swirl marks, and scratches that seemed challenging to eliminate. However, once I applied Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, I was amazed at how effectively it removed these imperfections.

The compound is easy to work with, offering a smooth application and a user-friendly buffing process. What impressed me the most was its ability to restore the paint's clarity and depth, leaving behind a brilliant, mirror-like finish. The transformation from before to after was striking, as the paint regained its original luster and richness.

Moreover, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound is versatile enough to work on different types of paint finishes and colors without leaving any residue or marks. It's become an essential part of my detailing toolkit, consistently delivering exceptional results that both myself and my clients are thrilled with.

In conclusion, Meguiar's Ultimate Compound has exceeded my expectations as a detailer. It not only simplifies the process of paint correction but also consistently delivers professional-quality results that enhance the overall appearance of the vehicles I work on.

Corvette in Corona

My new Corona client Kathy of Corona, has a beautiful Corvette that I had to share with everyone. I'm sure if I had something this nice I would waxing it every other day. Not to mention I would have to take a deposit from my kids if they want a ride to school. You want that $20 bill back son... then don't shed any hair for the next 20 minutes 😂

Jet Ski Detail

Mr Vega has a couple of Jet Ski's that needed some love before it was too late.

It was just suppose to be a wash and wax but you can't throw wax on it until it's cleaned properly. It needed to be clayed before applying the wax

After washing, claying and waxing it still need to have the seat reconditioned and the console detailed. Then the trailer need to be cleaned up to match the like new jet ski

There is plenty to choose from Collector Cups, Car accessories, Sport memorabilia and much more. In total there is over 100 gifts ready for the community and each client with be able to choose from the variety that is available.

In addition there will be a drawing held just before Christmas to give away 1 FREE MINI DETAIL to a lucky client. 1 raffle ticket will added for each vehicle we wash this Fall, 3 raffles tickets will added for any vehicle we detail this Fall and when we announce our Winner and he or she will be able to apply the FREE MINI DETAIL to the vehicle of their choice.

Happy Holidays!

Chrome Rust Removal

Here is the BEFORE picture I took on a detail I did for brand new Corona client. My client actually buys cars to resale them, so you can imagine the value in a service like mine. Look close enough and you can see rust divots, water spots and scratches.

This is what is looked like after I did my magic tricks. As you can see.. just by doing this I have already raised the value of the vehicle. It truly is a quality service at an amazing price.

Belt Buckle Detail

Don't let your belt buckles get this dirty (lol) but if you do I would love the opportunity to make it look new again. I love it when my customers get a new ( used ) cars and trust me with the task of making it clean enough for them to use everyday. Obviously You want to feel and look clean but I also sanitize during the process, so your car is clean... or as clean as can be.

Arm Rest Detail

I really don't like to stop working so I can take a bunch of pictures but since it's so import to new customers and web visitors, I have committed to taking as many as I can.In this photo you see the arm rest of a car my son and I did this Summer. I took I moment to photograph the arm rest after i clean half of it. You can see the difference on the right is before, the left is after. No more filth, sweat, grime... its all gone, nice and clean plus we reconditioned after we cleaned it.

Cleaned Engine Bay

My client went on maternity leave and during that process her work care was neglected. the engine had cobwebs and rodent hair not to mention the dirt dust and grime.

I was able to clean the engine bay with using any water. I refuse to spray any water or chemicals into your engine. it's not safe.. there is no perfect way to do... so i do it all by hand meticulously spraying my rag then wiping the engine parts safely. I used air and a duster for hard to reach area and performed the task with extreme patience

Vacuum Safely

This picture above is my Son in the Kobe Bryant t-shirt. I taught my son how to hold the vacuum hose between his legs, giving himself just enough slack to move around in the trunk. As you can see the vacuum hose is not touching the car. This technique was not taught to me however something I thought of myself over 20 years ago.

Common sense is that if you have a dirty, gritty and sometime greasy piece of rubber grinding against your car's body... something is bound to go wrong. My technique prevents friction and scratches. After you see this pay attention at the rest... I bet you don;t see anyone else doing this... they don't care as much as we do. Just one of many examples of the ever growing Quality service we are trying to provide.

Free Fathers Day

This Year My Son ( Vice President )  and I agreed to give away a FREE MINI DETAIL for Father's
Days but instead we gave one to each of the 12 nominations. This pic was taken in Sycamore Creek after we finished Detailing a Van for Dave. Dave was nominated for the giveaway by his daughter Katie. Katie, Dave and his wife Jean were super kind and awesome people...deserving of such a generous gesture.

Underneath and Between The Seats

Detail Everything doesn't mean we will detail it all for the price of a car wash but it does means we can...we can detail anything and everything. When a customer brings a vehicle in this condition, there is no other option... we have to charge more. It takes time and hard work but considering the pricing and the ends results... Detail Everything still has the best deals in town.
