OMG, people who treat their car like that should be arrested for car cruelty!

Seriously though, I applaud you for taking on a job like that! I can't wait to see it after you get through with it tomorrow!

I am disgusted to say I owned a VW, for fear I maybe associated with this guy. As Sean said you have to really try to make a car that dirty.

I would charge a flat per hour to clean the inside and flat rate for exterior. How long did the interior take to clean?

I can't imagine shifting from 2nd to 5th in a Jetta!! I have to time it *perfectly* to shift 3rd to 5th in the torque-heavy Wrangler!

Incredible clean-up on that interior. Most people are noticing the vomit-inducing goo. I noticed the difference between the surfaces of the seat and the joint in-between the back support and arse support. Awesome! Are you going the spray-->scrub brush-->towel wipe route or are you using a machine?

Incredible work!

you are truly a brave man
great job on cleaning that.... whatever it was

Anyone that is foolish enough to let his dog explode in the car and then have bodywork done by someone found at a 7-11. should pay through the nose.

That would end up being my most expensive compact car detail! I wouldn't touch it for less than $350!! You have your work cut out for you bro! I can't wait to see the results either.
