How do people let cars get like this :eek:

I originally posted this in the ShowNShine, but screwed up on the pictures and realized it didn't really belong there with all the beautiful cars in there. Here's another attempt.

Spent a loooong time cleaning up this Audi today and wasn't planning on doing a write up, but just thought I'd quickly share a couple pictures of the interior as I just did a basic wash/clay/wax on the exterior. I only took a couple before pictures, so I just took the same afters. It still amazes me how some people can treat a vehicle, no matter what that vehicle is.

This was the "kids seat" the rest of the car was in a little better condition, but not by much.

And the afters (sorry about the poor lighting, had to move in the garage cause it got too late and use my flashlight to help with the pics):

Thanks for looking!

The least a customer can do us spend 5 minutes vacuuming before giving it to a detailer if there is that much stuff

Dude....that's nothing. You should see some of the soccer mom cars I get. It amazes me how much time people spend in their cars yet don't care to keep it clean versus their house and how they keep it clean.

Definitely the first thing I did; you can't even work in that mess. At least they did take the garbage out, as there wasn't any, and with that much food, I can only imagine the garbage that was there before it was dropped off.

Usually, the larger the vehicle, the more stuff, what amazed me on this one, is it seemed as if this was all caused by one kid!

Wow.

Nice turnaround! Hope you charged accordingly.

My wife is one of those soccer moms, and her Subaru is a complete mess after 1 week from when I vacuum and clean. We have two kids (7 and 2) and often there are other kids in the back. The car is basically a roaming house/cafeteria from one event to another. I can see how it gets messy with the younger kids and their smoothies, sippy cups and Cheerios. She gets disgusted with the mess, but has better and more important things to do. Hell, even after a day of the kids in the back seat of my car it's got finger print smudges on the windows, crumbs in the cracks and sticky sh*t on the seats! (Of course, I will clean that up ASAP when the kids go to bed.)

You'd be surprised how many ordinary people out there are just SLOBS understanding that they can simply flash a few bills to make them appear normal again...!

Nice save!
