Tex Star Detail
Formerly TexasTB
I have no before pics, and I am ticked that I did not have my camera.
OK, I get a call from the lube shop I advertise at. The owner owns all the land and duplexes behind the shop.....nice neighbor hood. Anyways, he was kind of in a bad mood, I could tell. A "tenant" in one of the duplexes owns a HONDA CIVIC Hatchback. Apparently, the passenger side window does not roll up.
He said the guy called him complaining about his car being flooded. The cause, automatic sprinklers. The guy went on a 2 week vacation and left the car outside.....with the window down or cracked...I dunno....So, for that long, a sprinkler has been shooting through his window, and he is blaming the owner of the property......... The owner said he would rather pay me to clean up the mess, than to deal with anything legal from the "tenant".......
I got there, and OMG....NASTY. had a horrible smell....standing water, with a dirty, oily film floating on top.
First thing I did was break out the tools to remove the seats. Then extracted the water with my shop vac (5 gallon vac) I emptied it 3 times...I would put it at 12 gallons.......WOW.....
I pulled ALL of the plastic trim and center console out. Ripped the carpet out and threw it in the driveway, along with the seats to dry a bit...haha
I wanted to point my attention to the bare inside. Water was dripping out from UNDER the dash. So I pulled the vents out and sucked about 2 cups of water from them.
It took me an hour to strip everything and clean it, minus the carpet and seats.
I loaded the wet carpet and seat on the trailer and took them home. I wanted the car to sit, bare inside, overnight to dry whetever was left.
Got home, layed the carpet in the driveway, and pressure washed it. I had to remove the pad from underneath...it had mildew and mold....
dried the seats out and de-odorized them. Hung the carpet to dry overnight and went back today to put it all back together again. Took about another hour to put it all together......
I did no stain removal on the seats, and did not dress anything in the car. I was there to extract water only. The guy wanted me to do a detail and bill the owner...LMAO....yea right.....
Smell is gone, nasty is gone....job done.
Pics coming
