I don't have any problem with it if the guy knows what he's doing and wants to lug it a little, but tdekany made it sound like the guy was completely clueless...and let's face it, what's the chances a guy who keeps his interior *like that* is a synchro-head?

I think he just didn't want to shift. I don't know man.

I detailed a '98 Malibu that was in similar conditon...minus the dog hair!

I have two dogs. Whenever "Bernie and Murphdogg" go for a ride in the Jeep or F-150, I immediately vacuum the vehicles right after I get home.

I did have a client who had three large dogs... a German Shepard, A Black Lab and a Golden Retreiver. They rode in the back of her Explorer. Whenever I detailed it, I had enough dog hair to make another dog!

I have something similar, if not worse waiting for me tomorrow

the guy owns 3 dogs, and the jeep went out in a mudding test against a new full terrain vehicle. he called and I told him my standard rate, he laughed then told me the condition, and said it was allright to charge him whatever i wanted after i was done.

It is a good thing that he is a cousin of one of my top customers, or else i would have said NO!

Nice work.

Are you going to maintain the new car for the owner? Make sure the owner uses floor mats.

What did the owner buy?

I'd have to keep a barf bag next me while doing it. Slammin' job though!!

my initial plan was to run as fast as I could! I did not want to do it! but I needed the money and once I read something that I try to remember often: the difference between a winner and a looser is that the winner didn't give up. So I didn't. I just scrubbed and vacuumed until I saw a difference. on the second day I tried Sean's oxyCLean mix and that helped as well.

they moved to Arkansas - he bought his brother in law's lexus who was moving to Geneva.

I drove the Saab to Arkansas.
