O.C.Detailing
02-11-2010, 05:53 PM
So...John got a call from a customer. Their dog had been sprayed by a skunk and she had to put him in the 4-runner to get him home. Luckily, the seat was somewhat protected by a seatcover, but the stench was EVERYWHERE...YUCK!!!
We were asked to try to get the smell out the best we could while fully detailing the interior, which, by itself, was a complete mess.
We used an enzyme-based cleaner and a little recipe containing White Vinegar, Baking Soda and a little dishsoap to try to get rid of the smell. Knocked it down a tab or two, but there's NOTHING we could do to get rid of all of it.
PROCESS:
- Full Carpet and seat extraction using Mytee Hot Water Extractor with a very light APC detergent mix.
- Hardcore APC wipedown with 4:1 mix on the full interior.
- All plastics were dressed with Meg's Hyper-dressing
Now, ONTO THE PICTURES!!!

Some staining was left in the carpets, though I tried very hard to get them all out, but at least the seats came completely clean, except for some light staining on the rear seat that wouldn't come out anymore!! Thanks for looking. C&C is welcome and appreciated. :props:
