This job had made me a legend! lol-- Did it friday night and she picked it up saturday morning --I have booked 5 folks from her car cleaning alone and we are talking $175 and up soccer mom full detail jobs! This lady had a notoriously filthy car! Coke had caramelized on the console and floor boards! the carpet had years and years of stuff on them! 3 kids and it looks like they ate every meal in the car and used the seats for a plate! I honestly thought of calling children's services on her for letting the rug rats ride around in such filth! But hey--I buckled down and me and my partner had it clean and out the door in about 7 hrs--Had to use every trick in the book--and make up a few! see if this looks like a descent job-- told her to bring it back and for a 100 more i would die the seats and carpet if she likes--she was ecstatic to say the least.

first the befores
 
Not just the interior correct? Man gloves work out very well whenever I deal with interior or messy products. Good stuff!
 
nope--we did a full detail on it--but the outside wasn't much to complain about--buff, wax, cleaned and dressed the motor--but The hubby actually washed and waxed it every once and awhile so it freaked me out when i looked inside--glad i opend the door on this one before i priced it--and lets just say her face got real red when i pulled up the floor mats :mad: --and yes the gloves where a must on this one--
 
Nice work! Man I think Ill go and take a shower now after loking at those dirty pics. I can only imagine what it smelled like. :hurl

Ive had some cars like that in the past. Makes you wonder what there house looks like. "Would you like a glass of water. No thank you ill just suck up some of the guter water".
 
great job, it does make you wonder about the home P U GROSS, that was a tough one and you did it well but thoses b4's :eek :eek
 
thanks--the stains irked me to death--but one of her children had Asama--so i couldn't use any type of a strong lacquer solvent on the seats or carpet -- and couldn't dye them because they where leaving on a trip saturday night--so thats as good as i could get with elbow grease.
 
Wow, nice work. I would think gloves are most when working with a haz mat car like this.

Did you use an extractor?
What other precautions did you take when cleaning the car as one of children had a health issue? Not to said durogatory, but I would think a dirty interior could cause issues with the childs asthema.

Don't you just hate when you reach into the bag of tricks and all grab is the bottom of the bag.

I seen plenty of soccer vans in my lifetime. All these kids crammed in a van EATING and DRINKING on the way to soccer or any other event.Not to mention the spills and stepping on the food and grinding the food into the carpet. IT A NITEMARE.The interior is a 5 hour job alone.

lol--thats why i kept thinking children's services--and the extractor is basically all I used--some solvent could have got the stains--but I didn't wanna risk it- when i first looked at it--i asked the question of asthma--explained about the stains not probably coming out and then priced the job. I guess some folks just don't care about things like a clean car.
 
Holy Crap! I can't belive the before/after shots of that one. Real nice work man. I would have set fire to it and explained that I just did her a favor.
 
I don't understand how people can drive around in filth traps like that. It makes me feel dirty to ride in a dirty car. I can't imagine these people's other habits. In any case, very good work with the car. The lady should have given you a BIG tip.
 
That car looks so much better.
Yea, she should have been embarased when you pulled up the floor mats!

I hope you showed her the nasty water you sucked out of the carpet!

Have you ever tried Folex? It is a biodegradebale carpet cleaner that you can get at Home Depot. It is completely odorless and I have taken some tough stains with it. I don't think it would bother a chemically sensitive client.
