Wow that interior was FOUL! I thought my cars with two children would be bad but a few crusty apple cores and crushed cheese-its is nothing against that. What was the story behind it and how did you confirm that the mold was not still below the surface or in the AC system?

I really hope you protected your self,I was asked to do a vehicle just like that or maybe worse a brand new porche suv,one of the employees left the sunroof open at a dealership.I turned it down then it was a total loss by the insurance.

That should of been a loss,it's horrific to look at.Ive done like 20 cars from the twin towers incident and was suited from head to toe.

I did explain to the customer that this could be only a superficial cleaning. They did try to put a claim on there insurance however mold is not covered when it's in storage. It sat for 2 years in a garage unused.

Oh wow, that's gnarly. The most mold in a car I have ever encountered, was due to some old food that leaked out of a Tupperware. I don't think I would have had the stomach for that.

Great job brother,

That situation was a huge undertaking, and you came out with pride. I hope they take better care of the situation and use some sort of bleach solution if if re-appears. Don't know, can you use any type of bleach to kill the mold, without hurting the fabric?

Peace,

Darrin

That will return most definetly and even more so because of the little holes in the seats,be careful when messing around with that,I'm a victim of that scenario,but not as severe.It took 5 months and numerous doctor visits to be recovered from mold in a Astro van.
