Gross interior detail

Detail time!
My Uncle just got a new company car -- I mean van and it was a total mess when he received it. There were coffee stains, mold, candy, paper, dirt, leaves, kids toys, etc. everywhere. It was nice to be able to fold the seats down and clean everything and then clean the seats after. The company obviously footed the bill but this was truly a nasty detail. I had some help here (especially on the seat/arm rest mold) and there which did help the situation. I also did a quickie on the outside to freshen it up (no pics) but I used PwS and topped that with OCW.

On the interior I used a bunch of things. The major plastic and vinyl cleaning was done with Woolite 10:1 and a brush. The carpets received Folex and extracted with a LGCM. All plastics were dressed with Megs #40, really needed the extra cleaners in the #40 to finish it off. All of the pictures below were after the Woolite but before the #40. The mold was scrubbed with a grout brush with Woolite mix. The pictures still have the stain in the carpet but that was taken care of after the picture. I don't have that many good pictures, I was on a tight schedule even with help. The results speak for themselves:

And today I did a quick interior clean up on a Prius ... I didn't take any pictures except the classic carpet lines. It wasn't all that bad but I know how you guys love pictures of carpet lines :rockon. BTW I really like my LGCM. I can't imagine what an real extractor would be like ... :cool:

Actually he just started with this company ... so he's low on the food chain. The van needs 15,000 more miles before it is taken out of the fleet, which is when he'll get a new vehicle. I don't see how they can give an employee a vehicle in that condition though.
