jeeps





I am sure there are more cars I can add to the list but these are top offenders
 
Why is it that certain cars are always crappy? Its funny because most those on your list are never clean, rare occasions sure but not often. We have a few used nissan altimas that need to be cleaned for our used lot and man are they nasty! Although id take a dirty Altima over suburban or van. We have a good handful of caravans in that are trashed top to bottom :(
 
For some reason Ford trucks and SUVs are always more trashed than GM SUVs around here. Jags also tend to be trashed, at least the later model S-type and X-types.
 
Jettas, and the carpet is a PITA! I used to do a ton of dealer trade in and auction Jettas and they were always trashed and took much longer than anything else to vacuum.
 
Sunfires/Cavaliers are ALWAYS nightmares. The last one I had at the shop was literally used to transport goats in the back seat. I shudder just thinking about it.

2 of the worst i have done were probably our local PD's K9 units. Most dog hair I've seen in my life, and the smell !

Never understood that :think: :nixweiss



I mean...I haul my Beaucerons (well, Beauce singular at present) most every day, rain or shine, and my dog-haulers stay as nice as my good cars. For that matter, I even haul the dogs *in* most of my "good cars".



And K9 units usually have easy-to-maintain cages in 'em. Only takes a moment to clean out a Cruise-Eze...I know it's a "company car" but sheesh, you're living in the thing every day.
 
Ya easy to clean dog cage, im talking smell and hair under the cage and every where else, two long hair german Shepard K9 units = most hair in one vehicle i have ever seen.

Usually have to deal with poop and pee in PD vehicles, that must be a normal response when one realizes they are arrested.. I do not understand how the family vehicle could that bad, that it smells like a kennel, with mold growth on the carpeting, sometimes even hundreds of maggots growing in the carpet... I once did a vehicle where the entire trunk area where the tire is stored was completely full of dead maggotts you had to shovel it out...
 
Well, read through all of this and it appears that it boils down to the owners, and their choices of vehicles.

Police cars I understand.

The rest sound like "soccer mom's" cars.

It is totally on the person and not the type of car. But if I reflect back on my 10 most hammered interiors over my career 4 of them have been Volkswagens for some reason.
 
Range Rovers. When I detailed for Foreign Motors West Auto Body, every single Range Rover that came in for the warranty repair on the tailgate (corrosion problem) was trashed on the inside.. the rear area was always loaded with dog hair...



Minivans... need I say more?
 
Prius. I have done half a dozen of them now and they are always the same. It's like the day they buy them they drive to the pet store, buy a long haired dog, drive to the woods, open all the doors and windows and leave.........for about eight months. Then they bring it to me to detail. Full of dog hair, pine needles, mud, sand and whatever else could find it's way into the car.
 
mose- I sometimes suspect that many Prius owners are "car-haters" who consider that model to be the "least evil" thing they can buy.
 
Remember when Nancy Reagan urged us to "just say no" well, unlike Slick Willie - I did inhale back then but as I got older I learned to say no. And lately, I've been saying no on a few details that come up. I know, some of ya'll are saying - hey JB, gone wussy on us, can't take the trashed vehicles and make them purdy agin. Yeah well, screw that! It's very true that I really do detail because I need the money, but - there comes a time I draw the line and say NO. The first time was a girl that was a pretty regular for wash/wax on a little truck, she wanted me to do her sister's minivan (red flag) and nervously mentioned that I would need my rubber gloves. Huh? Well, her kids pick their noses and....stop right there. No f'ing way understand, see if your sister is that lazy as a parent and or a slob, forget it!

I think I may have figured out what it was that Meatloaf wouldn't do in that song.

How often do any of you see a well kept minivan?

I've actually seen a few that are used more for large object transport rather than kids. It's always a nice surprise to slide a door open and see no seats and a semi-clean carpet! Few and far between though lol.
