    Hi Everyone,

    So I got the detail bug lately and decided to book in a car to get 'my fix' since it's winter here.

    This one was just.....dirty? LOL. :shakehead:

    Let see, it had: pet hair, leftover food, little stones, debris, grass, and stains. What more could you ask for that you would really want to clean up? :shead:

    Before - Trunk Area (ALWAYS remove the license plate, never know what's lurking behind there)

    [​IMG]

    Before - Front End (Again, remove the plates)

    [​IMG]

    Before - Engine Bay

    Before - Trunk (Transporting Grass, Got Grass?)

    [​IMG]

    After - Trunk (Smoked The Grass)

    [​IMG]

    Before - Driver's Side (You have seriously got to make an effort to get the interior into this shape)

    Oh look, pet hair and a USED band-aid folded up. Always wear gloves.

    [​IMG]

    No More Pet Hair or Used Band-Aid

    Before - Passenger Side

    Who wants to recline the seat with this stuff lurking near the handle?

    [​IMG]

    Did you keep the seats installed? I'm assuming you did judging by the pictures.
    How long did it take you?

    Super job! Looks like the customer NEVER cleaned the car since it was driven off the new car lot. lol

    WOW that's an unbelievable turnaround! It didn't look like it can be salvaged but you made it look NEW!

    Great job!!!

    How did you clean the carpets that well? Did you just use a vacuum or an extractor?

    Also, what do you do to your MFs that you use to wipe down those disgusting interior pieces? Do you throw them away after use or do you rewash them again? Those MFs have got to be gross and extremely filthy.

    I agree. You turned that from the dirtiest doo to the cleanest inn.

    Thank you Karl. I think it was a habitat to stray animals and the owner fed them leftover fries and chips...haha. I'll be sure to enter the contest. =)

    I know eh? Think of what their house interior looks like! Maybe they just got sick of it themselves and couldn't even stand their own mess?

    Thanks Hamza.

    haha, thank you for the vote Joey. Make a trip out West and let's do a car together!

    I'll be sure to enter it. Thank you tfish

    and men have the cleaniest but dirtiest rooms...haha. generally speaking...=p

    thanks josh. yes, i kept the seats in b/c i didn't have ample time to remove and re-install. ideally you would like to remove the seats b/c it allows you easy access to the entire floor.

    it took me 6+ hours interior alone. vacuuming was the worst b/c of all the pet hair. i made sure there was none left. i probably have hair balls in my vacuum bucket...lol

    Thank you P1et. I was inspired by your detail on a subaru outback (i think) that you recently did. I wish I had time to remove the seats also...=(

    thank you eric. you have no idea how many times i sneezed during this detail...haha...i don't like pet hair that much

    awesome! thank you for the vote and comment.

    yeah, it's a 2009 and in this condition! (*pulls out hair). thank you Brian.

    thank you Marc. i had to vac and extract the carpets and floor mats and seats. i couldn't leave it to just vac. too risky and the end result wouldn't look good. it definitely took a long time getting all the little debris and hair.

    i can't afford to throw away MF towels...haha...too much waste and cost. with that said, i also can't afford to buy the wife a new washing machine if I wreck her's. i clean them out before tossing them into the washing machine. i re-use them but they are clean after washing.

    thanks for viewing and commenting Drew.

    luke093 Welcome to Detailing

    Do extract all the seating surfaces as well? Or just a spot treatment?

    Horrible interior for it being 2009... Great save!

    That was one of those rollercoaster rides where you go up and down, again and again. Seeing the before pics I felt sick to my stomach, then immediately felt better with the after pic. Then BAM down to hell and then ahhhh bliss. Repeat that 10x and you exit the coaster yelling "that was a hell of a ride! Lets do it again!"

    Jesus that was a mess! Great turn around though! Makes you wonder what their house looks like inside :gasp:

    Their houses probably look the same or worse.

    I hope you charged accordingly. Six hours on an interior is tedious work.
