Menzerna Polishing Compounds of Germany has set new standards for workability, uniformity, performance, and quality. Why else would Mercedes Benz use Menzerna polishes to perfect the finishes on their brand new vehicles?

Destroyed interior...I did what I could.

So a client of mine calls me up on Sunday and said he bought a surburan and wants me to detail it and while I am there to do his wifes interior and his truck. So I go up there yesterday think it should be an easy day since I did a full detail on his wifes car in July and his truck in May.

Boy was I wrong...It is amazing how little some people think of there cars. She had destroyed the car inside and out. I couldn't believe it...if it was me I wouldn't have had it cleaned, obviously it is pointless.

So I get there yesterday morning and open the car door to this...








That spot on the seat came out but I forgot to get a picture of it.





Apparently she took a dog to the beach and the kids feed it pizza and on the ride home the pizza came up...and this was on THURSDAY almost a week of 95+ temps before I cleaned it. I almost puked when I opened the car door.

Now after some Meg's APC 4:1, a stiff brush, and my extractor this was the best I could do.











I wasn't satisfied with the results and was gonna make another pass with the extractor and the APC on the seats but the guy walked over and said forget it. His exact words"you'll be back and two months and it will be back to the way it was when you got here"

So as I backed this car out of the spot to pull in the Suburban it starts to rain, so I rescheduled the other two for Tuesday when I come back.

That's just wrong

You know you can always tell when a person really cares for there vehicle by how well they maintain ther vehicles but the before pictures are incredable....like I said that's just wrong.

You did a nice job of bringing it back but if it's going to get like that again in two months time, boy you got some work to do.

Thank you for sharing.
