Awesome job Joe!

Love the Crocs too! I love mine, but mine are bright orange for the Home Depot car formerly driven by Tony Stewart in Nascar.....

Impressed as always Joe. Glad you could keep you sense of humor as you completed the task. We all need to follow your lead in helping out others. Keep it up Joe. We're sure proud of ya.

Holy smokes !!! I'm guessing you do not see messes like that in Bugattis.

Thank you for the compliments. Yes I do my best to keep the mini van to an absolute minimum.

I detailed this yesterday so it helped get the mini van out of my head -LOL!

What did you use chemical wise?

The seats came out perfect. Maybe your looking at the design (had darker ovals in another stitching) or the front seat which is still wet. Either way if she wasn't happy I would have refunded 200% of her money -LOL!

Doing work like that keeps you grounded in reality. Plus you get to utilize all your skills. I gave up years ago trying to keep my kids from leaving our van like that. I've watched them make a mess as they got in it for the first time after being detailed.

I do work like that for people in need all the time. I'm good at what I do and they have a lot more pressing issues in their life than keeping a car clean. Way to go my friend.

That was nice of you to pour out a little of that carpet "juice" for your homies at the end, haha.

For years and years I did that kind of work and I am not "above" doing it again. I have been blessed to get lots of stuff I like working on to detail. No matter what I'm working on I'm thankful to have work especially now days when many don't have work.

Funny how that works.
The biggest improvements your work can make will be on rough looking vehicles , not a Ferrari or Lambo , etc , which usually is only getting detailed to stroke the owners ego.

Years ago , when I was working at a stealership right out of highschool , the guys in the new car department got all the respect when all they really had to do was wash it and dry it right. The guys on the used car side however .... yeah right. Doesn't matter that the two year old leased Camaro that was driven by some disgusting , Whopper dribblin' slug , looks identicle to the new one sitting next to it now , it only mattered that it took two days to recondition it ...
"Not fast enough , Washboy!"
LOL!
