It Was Kept Clean, He Said

Infiniti G35 Sedan Interior Detail

It was kept clean he said.
Had been a few weeks since it was cleaned, he said.

I only had a 3 hour window to clean the interior of this car.
I ended up getting an addition hour, totaling 4 hours.
I needed at least 2 more hours with it.

It was filthy.
The pictures do not do justice as to just how dirty this car was.
There were coffee and soda stains everywhere.
Scuff marks everywhere.
Items had to be moved out of the way, everywhere.

I am pleased with the final result.
It is not perfect, and by no means a "level 10" detail.
However, given the time constraints and the level of challenge to get the interior clean, I was quite pleased with the result.

I don't have too many after shots, just a few.
The customer arrived to pick up his vehicle.
There was no time to get photos of everything.

Ewww.. I feel for you man. Nice work though!

Nice. Very nice. Successful rescue mission on the interior.

For me, if it's not a car-related item; it doesn't get to stay in the car.

Oh yes.
A couple more things.

There were an extra complete set of stock G35 floor mats in the trunk.
Both the car mats in the car and the extra set of floor mats in the trunk were filthy dirty.

There were also a couple bottles of glass cleaner.
Wal-Mart generic brand.
One bottle was empty, one was basically full.
I got a chuckle out of this.
I wonder how many years ago that empty bottle was used.

It "was" kept clean. Hadn't been cleaned in a "few" weeks.

Was=when it left the showroom.

Few=how many weeks since it left the showroom

I would be embarrassed to have anyone see my car with a quarter of that junk inside. Have some respect for the person detailing your car. How annoying having to spend 5-10 mins picking up after Mr or Miss Piggy before you even start detailing.

Nice save.

This is just a general question for anyone, do you ask the customer to remove as much of their personal items as they can ?

This is not so bad. If you ever get a soccer mom mini-van you will very likely have a heart attack

Be warned

The lesson here: Take what the client tells you and imagine it 5 times worst.

Yes, then I box up what ever is leftover.

That interior was pretty clean by my standards,how deos one spend so much time on a interior.

Nice work!

Unfortunately for me here. The average car I see is typically in worse condition than this. Along with being told "no pet hair at all" or "its not to bad" Ive learned to expect that when they say that it really means "I have pig slop everywhere, and a fur bomb exploded in the car."
