It's a long story, I saved up money for AGES upon AGES to just go get everything that I wanted. I was so happy when I found the grand. Sounds completely unrealistic but it's true.

Re: What is the weirdest thing you have found in a customer's car?

I actually found 4 teeth in the back seat of a lexus LS awhile back... kinda weirded me out. How do you end up with a tooth, let alone TEETH in your backseat?? I used an inside-out ziplock to pick them up, sealed them, and put them into the bag with the rest of the owners loose change, pens, and stuff I found under the seats.

C R E E P Y !

Re: What is the weirdest thing you have found in a customer's car?

In the gross category it would be an ashtray filled to the brim with the Porsche owners nail clippings! Why on earth the guy keeps his nail clippings I have no idea but just about lost my lunch on that.

Second would be, in the same owners car, cat turds petrified under the passenger seat. Turns out the guy drives with cats. Like the guy is Norman Bates.


In the "I would never expect that!" category it would be a bag of pot in a surgeons car.

Sexiest category would be a pair of very sexy, very lacy pink panties. This was at the start of my detailing profession and I made good friends with all the gals in this one office so while doing one of the gals cars, a sexy redhead, I came upon the item in question while clearing the car out before vacuuming. They were in the driver seat back pocket so they must of been removed while in the back seat.....I'm only guessing here. So I took them inside after I was done, called out her name and asked her (while I had everyone's attention) "Hey, car is all done, by the way are you missing these?!" I then held them high over my head for everyone to see.

I never thought a red head could get more red

Boogers on Joe Tori's head liner. That was hands down the grossest car I ever did (including suicide and senior **** cars)

Re: What is the weirdest thing you have found in a customer's car?

Wow I remember this thread back in 2001 when I was lurking!!!

Back then products like those found in the Doc Johnson catalog was controversial... but now....... they just seem so common... nobody giggles or blushes over it anymore. The attitude towards these things has changed a lot in the past nine years or so.

Almost a 9 year old thread!! I don't work on nasty cars and I never find anything weird.
