My My..Disaster Area

[Mike Burke]

What did I get into.

And I volunteer for this Job.

I don't know how some people can stand it. Its not even mine and it drives me nuts....so I volunteered to clean it up for them.....What Was I Thinking !!

Looks like I have my work cut out for me for a couple nights.
I guess it will be good practice.

It ain't perfect but its a huge improvement. Looks like I'm on my way.

Looks like you have a great start there!!

[jamesboyy]

Looking amazing so far and yeah you got yourself into a very big pinch but hey it will pay off cause they'll tell everyone and before you know it you may have a customers lined up and if not atleast you will have some work to showcase good luck and keep up the great hard work

[Mike Burke]

Well I made it through it. 14 hrs worth....what a difference.

Just a little disappointed though....delivered the car 4 days ago and haven't gotten a " Thank You " or any thing :confused:

Guess I won't be doing any volunteer work anytime soon. But I have some good before / after shots.

Thanks for looking :xyxthumbs:

I've had this happen. Very discouraging that people are so thoughtless

I encourage you not to give up on volunteering. Find another avenue where people will appreciate your efforts. (i.e. not detailing related)

Great job by the way :props:

[Wheelzntoys]

:dblthumb2: Great before/after shots, bummer on the no thank you.

Looked like quite some work there.

[BobbyG]

Nice save indeed!! :props:

If you don't mind me asking, what chemicals and equipment did you use to resurrect this interior?

[Scott@IncrediblyDetailed]

Great turn around.

[Just02896]

WOW!!! Awesome work! I'd like to say "THANK YOU" on behalf of the unappreciative person that you worked so hard to clean that mess up for!

[Theostoubos]

Great work turning around this filthy interior.

I would be sceptical though, to do what you did, for a person who let their interior of their car get to that stage. Next thing you know all your hard work will be gone in just a few weeks.

Not even a Thank You....???

I hope it won't.

Amazing job:xyxthumbs:

[Pureshine]

Great work Mike! It was nice talking to you the other day.

[master detailer]

try using some carpit die next time will get it back to new looking.the rest looks good I hate doing the insides of cars like this.Bet they live up north and drive it 100mils a day and real cold out side.

[DaVinciAutoSpa]

Uh, first, great job. You got that thing looking respectable.

Second,....how and why did you 'volunteer' your services? Was it a school raffle or something. Church thing?

In the past I've thought of donating a detail so my kids Little League can raise money by raffling off the detail.

Do yourself a favor. Reach in your wallet and give $100 instead

[Vortech5.0]

Amazing results, well done. Also curious as to what your process was on the interior. Did you use a steamer at all?
