Full detail gone bad....

[justin_murphy]

Yesterday, while doing the Lexus, I received a call from a local attorney. She was referred to me by another client.......the owner of our local theater. I did his Caddy earlier this week. She said that she would drop it off at the theater's parking lot and I could detail it. I gave her the price and finished up the Lexus. When I arrived to do it, it wasn't what I expected. When you hear "attorney" and "Suburban" in the same sentence, you think new and clean. Nope. Not this one. I should have asked more qualifying questions on the phone! It was old and 189K mile on the clicker. Ok, not to bad on the outside. I opened the door and WOW! Let's just say my had would literally stick to floor. I called her and said I could do nothing for the carpets. We then agreed to just to a wash and wax with a vacuum.

I busted out the PC with Poorboy's Polish with Sealant and let fly. Turned out ok. Well, here's the pics.....

Painted turned ok. I used a yellow EDGE2K pad at a #6 speed. Boy was my pad dirty!

Thats not as bad as some of the limo carpets I have had to do.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!! That is disgusting!! It looks like a whole family with banchees for children were living in that car. What the heck were they doing in there?? Definitely needs new carpet, but if she's an attorney, she should be able to afford one without too much difficulty.

Sweat mother of pearls....what do you call that? Just wrong and more wrong wow...I'm speechless over hear....is that mold in the carpet's???

Good thing you phoned back because you would have been there all day trying to clean those carpets.

The paint doesn’t look that bad though, I would of loved to see a picture of the pad. I'm sure it didn't look yellow hehehehe.

Thanks for posting. I'm sure you learned something from this one huh.

That's pretty bad Justin. Some people just don't care. I would be embarassed to have any one ride in anything that dirty.

i'd go one step further - i would be embarassed to own anything like that, much less permit others to see it and ride in it! what the heck was in the carpet? or do i want to know?
what year was it again?

[bambo2888]

[Surfer]

Justin,

Have you considered grabbing a Carpet Extractor? Considering you do a substantial amount of vehicles each week and are a Full Blown Professional, it will greatly speed up & vastly increase the quality in your interior Details. A Vapor steamer will also help as well.
