We all pay our dues don't we? Interior mess! - Page 2

Similiar to what I had to deal with today (minus the coke everywhere) in an Explorer and you Def. deserve a medal!!! The guy owns a Vet. practice and obviously has to carry a lot of animals around...

Still haven't figured out how much extra to charge....

DetailGirl · 07-27-04, 09:18

I would say at least $75 for the interior is what I would charge

ZaneO · 07-27-04, 09:19

I would charge over $100 for the inside and probably the same for the outside.

What did you use on it?

Good work...and sorry.

$125.00 is what he is paying me for the interior. Even that feels too low if I had to be honest. After this I''ll do his wife's 2004 Saab's interior.

looked a lot better. black interior.

Thanks ZaneO and everyone else!

I've used APC+ (purple bottle), woolite mix and TOL's carpet cleaner concentrate. On the dash I've used the same and TOL's vinyl/leather cleaner concentrate. ( I just had ESP!!!) as I was typing this.
Both TOL products are dilutions. The concentrates are at my girlfriend's house - wish I had them here. I"d use them straight!

I will use 303 to protect the interior.
AMINO UV (both) on the outside, but taking my new #83 as well, although I have to be very quick as he needs to sell it in the afternoon. No swirl removing tomorrow.

btw, mechanically the car is top notch! We drove to home depot, and I noticed that he shifts from 2nd to fifth every time. I mentioned it to him and he said I am? Then he asked me if it was ok.

Terrible...You have to try to make it that dirty...WAYYYY past neglect.

Nice work so far...Good Luck on the rest

thanks Sean!

I am trying your oxyClean recipe

tdekany: Good Luck with it. If you can get the water almost hot, you will be set. Remember to pretreat with APC+ and let everything soak in.

Can't wait to see pics tomorrow

PS: What you are doing, is adding 1000's of dollars to the car! Great job!

tdekany · 07-27-04, 09:59

thanks! Will use hot water. I'll take many pictures hopefully. (if the car turns out ok)

LouisanaJeeper · 07-27-04, 09:59

that car is just disgusting, I would just have to turn that one down or make the owner clean up that brown goo first

tdekany · 07-27-04, 10:04

I am kind of broke, so I need all the $$ I can generate. the brown goo IS a problem but on the cloth only. It cleans up fairly easy on plastic except under the armrest. Couldn't get all of it out today. I'll try it again manana.

Second to fifth

, does he think it's a Vette with one of those lockouts?? Or just that it's a 3 speed? Sheesh, there should be stricter driver's tests....

I agree. Not sure why he drives it like that.
He is a nice guy though.
