This car was by far the most disgusting car i've EVER come across. The before pictures just don't even truly show how nasty the car actually was and they are pretty bad! lol



I was pretty please and the owner and a friend of the owner didn't even believe it was his car!

Some of the stuff on the inside of the car started to make me gag, how can people let their cars get this bad.

haha...you didn't have to sit in it, touch it, or smell it! The pics don't even do it justice to how bad it was!



I had to use a toothpick to dig gunk out of the shift pattern on the shift knob!



Products and process will be posted very shortly;)



Thanks for the compliments guys!

I feel your pain, I've done too many vehicles that were that nasty. Wait until you do a Suburban or minivan like that. :noes:



Really impressive clean-up, not only the interior but the exterior as well. :bow
 
My CRV was the samething exterior wise. I bought it from my cousins uncle and mechanically it is in great shape but the paint lacks any attention. The paint is exactly the same maybe worse. It has a dry look with tons of swirl marks. Since I am a beginner I had the Meguiars 3 step on hand and did the whole car. When I was done I found out that the black paint has blue metallic in the paint which pops. And its time for me to get some of that TC stuff as well.

LOL yeah I was also suprised to see the blue metallic. I was like wow this color would actually be pretty cool if this guy would take care of it.



And he said he has a Suburban he wants me to do sometime too, which is kind of a scary thought LOL
